the handle by simultaneously pressing the
button on the handle sides and swivelling
the handle into the desired position.
12>HARNESS
Your stroller harness is specifically designed
with many built in safety features.
This includes the requirement that, when
opened, all straps are released so that no
dangerous loops can be formed causing a
strangulation hazard.
WARNING: YOUR CHILD MUST ALWAYS
BE HARNESSED WHEN IN THE STROLLER
Closing your harness:
Slide each of the shoulder strap bottom
guides (t) into the corresponding channel
on the top of each side strap prong.
Insert each completed prong into the central
buckle housing (u).
Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly
fit your child by adjusting the sliders (v)
located on each strap. The harness should
be fitted to your child’s body, tight enough
so that they cannot wriggle free of the straps
but, loose enough, so as not to cause any
discomfort.
For even more flexibility, the height at which
your shoulder straps are fitted to the stroller
can be adjusted at 3 points. To change the
shoulder strap position:
From the rear of the seat, thread the top of
the strap back through the harness slot (w)
by manoeuvring the locking ring so that it
fits through the slot.
Rethread the strap back through the desired
slot from the front of the seat
Opening your harness:
Press the central housing button (x).
This will release both side prongs from the
central housing. The shoulder and waist
straps will release automatically from each
other.
If the shoulder and waist straps do not
automatically disengage from each other,
manually slide the guides of the waist
channels. Your harness will separate into 5
sections.
IMPORTANT WARNING: WHEN NOT IN
USE, BE SURE THE SHOULDER AND WAIST
STRAPS ARE ALWAYS DISCONNECTED
FROM THE CENTRAL HOUSING AND EACH
OTHER.
13>FOLDING
To ensure maximum compactness, prior to
folding your stroller:
•fold the hood closed back against the
handle
•incline the seat
•lower the bumper bar
•remove all contents from the basket
Locate the frame release (y) on either side
of the handle. Lift the frame release buttons
on either side of the handle simultaneously
upwards.
Swing the handle forward. As the handle
passes the fold joint (z), you will feel the
lower chassis release and fold downward in
a ‘z’ shape.
Push the frame down completely until the
frame lock engages.

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. MOVING PARTS ARE BEST LUBRICATED
WITH SILICONE BASED PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OIL BASED PRODUCTS.
