REMEMBER…YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Be sure that all clamps and buckles are securely fixed into place before use.
Moving parts may be lubricated with silicone spray – DO NOT USE OIL.
The maximum weight of the child in the SINGLE model is 18 kg’s.
Your child should never be left unattended. When in the stroller a child must always wear a safety
harness, correctly fitted and adjusted, at all times.
Do not hang shopping bags from the handle as this may affect the stroller’s stability.
Always use the basket provided – the maximum weight in the basket is 5 kg’s.
The seat fabrics may be washed by gently sponging with mild soap in warm water. Dry naturally.
Never run with your pram across a road. NEVER use on escalators.
Check all parts before use for breakage or fatigue. Discontinue use immediately if any part is found
to be damaged or broken.
Do not carry additional children. It may be unsafe to use any accessories other than VALCO
approved.
Make sure that any part of the child’s body is clear of all moving parts before making any
adjustments.
Your VALCO product is intended for domestic use only. It is not intended for commercial use.
Never carry your stroller with a child in it.
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. We recommend a rust inhibiting
product should be used to prevent rust and fatigue on 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.

USING YOUR HARNESS
ADJUSTING THE SEAT
A. To recline the seat, simultaneously press
up on the reclining buttons (located on
either side of your stroller) and ease the
seat back to the desired position.
B. To raise the seat, simply lift the seat
back to the desired position.
ALWAYS TEST THAT THE SEAT IS
SECURELY FIXED IN POSITION BEFORE
USE.
Your VALCO pram is fitted with a 5 point safety harness system.
TO SECURE YOUR CHILD IN THE HARNESS:
ADJUSTING THE FOOTREST
1. Insert Buckles (A) and (B) into either side of the Buckle Housing (C). Keep
inserting until they click into place securely.
2. Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly fit your child by adjusting the
Sliders (D) located on all Shoulder Straps, Waist Straps and Crotch Strap.
The harness should be snugly fitted to the baby’s body, tight enough so that the
baby cannot wriggle itself free of the straps but loose enough so as not to cause
the baby any discomfort.
TO OPEN THE HARNESS :
1. Release the Buckle Prongs – Squeeze on the top and bottom prongs
simultaneously and pull apart from the Buckle Housing.
This process may be difficult as your buckle system has been designed to meet
very stringent safety standards to ensure that a child cannot release the harness
unaided.
Your ROADIE stroller has an adjustable footrest. This is particularly useful with
younger/smaller children with the stroller in the fully reclined position!
A. To fix the footrest, locate the 2 supports on either side BENEATH the footrest.
B. Slide each support forward as far as possible till it rests in the “pocket” of the
fabric.
C. To free, simply reverse the procedure.
WARNING: YOUR FOOTREST IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ONLY LIMITED
SUPPORT TO A SLEEPING CHILD. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO SUPPORT THE
WEIGHT OF A STANDING/CLIMBING CHILD.
YOUR CHILD MUST ALWAYS BE HARNESSED WHEN IN THE STROLLER.
FOR NEWBORNS, WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A COCOON WHICH CAN
BE SECURED TO THE STROLLER SUCH AS THE VALCO COCOON.THIS IS
THE SAFEST AND MOST COMFORTABLE SYSTEM FOR TRAVELLING WITH A
NEWBORN IN A RECLINING STROLLER. ASK YOUR RETAILER FOR MORE
INFORMATION OR CONTACT US AT www.valco.com.au.
