• This product requires regular maintenance: Inspect the locking devices, brakes,
harness assembly, catches, seat adjustments, joints and fittings to ensure they are
secure and in full working order. Brakes and wheels are subject to wear and should
be replaced if necessary by contacting customer service.
• If any part of your pushchair becomes stiff or difficult to operate, ensure that dirt
is not the cause. Use spray lubricant (silicone based) between the components.
Avoid over-spraying as this may encourage the accumulation of dirt. Regular
lubrication of moving parts will extend the life of your pushchair and make opening
and folding easier.
• The seat unit, plastic and metal parts must be sponged clean with warm water and
mild detergent. Always allow to dry thoroughly before using or storing.
• Do not leave the pushchair in sunlight for prolonged periods as fabrics may fade.
• Never use abrasives, ammonia, bleach or spirit based cleaners.
• Always store your pushchair in a dry place. Allow fabric and raincover to dry
thoroughly before folding and storing.
