Should you experience any difficulty with your VALCO product, your local
retailer (from where it was purchased) is the first “port of call,” as they
are in the best position to help. They will make all the necessary
arrangements to ensure that your VALCO product is operating correctly.
Should the chassis become wet, dry off promptly before storing. If this pram is used near the
ocean or salted roads, spray the chassis and seat frame with water and dry thoroughly. This is
especially important for metal parts such as wheel spokes and springs. We recommend a rust
inhibiting product should be used to prevent rust and fatigue on these metal parts.
We recommend that you wipe down axles and lubricate the wheels every 3 months. Sand and dirt
can grind down axles, if you live near the beach or in a dusty environment you must wipe down the
axles and wheels then lubricate them MONTHLY.
AXLES ARE BEST LUBRICATED WITH GREASE OR PETROLEUM JELLY. SILICONE BASED
LUBRICANTS ARE ACCEPTABLE. DO NOT USE OIL BASED PRODUCTS.

Your Runabout DELUXE bassinet has been designed to maintain a consistent rocking motion while in
motion. Should you wish to secure this motion, we have added an additional securing tether at the rear of
the bassinet.

Using your hood
Your Runabout DELUXE bassinet was designed to be easily carried due to the unique design of the hood.
To carry the bassinet, grab the padded hood bar at the top of the hood and away you go! The hood system is
permanent and has been designed so that the hood will not collapse when carried.
To fold the hood down, press down on the hood lock (one side only) and simultaneously fold the hood back.
To secure your hood open, simply reverse the previous process till you hear the hood lock into place.
NOTE: ALWAYS TEST THAT YOUR HOOD IS SECURELY LOCKED INTO THE OPEN POSITION BEFORE USE.
