WHEEL ADJUSTMENT:

• It should be noted that all three wheel vehicles can be easily influenced to deviate from a straight line. In most cases strollers can have a tendency to pull to the right/left due to many factors, including uneven tire pressure, improper wheel installation, road conditions and manufacturing tolerances. If you find your Baby Trend stroller to significantly track or pull to the left or right while use on flat terrain, follow the sequence of the instructions on page 16 to realign your front wheel.

FLAT TIRE:

• The jogging stroller features bicycle tires to allow for extended wear and ease of pushing. Just like a bicycle tire, the jogging stroller can suffer from flat tires.
  If you have a flat tire, you can use a standard bicycle tire repair kit to repair the tire or you can take the tire to a bicycle shop for repair. If you experience numerous flat tires, you may want to purchase thorn proof inner tubes for the jogging stroller. These can be purchased at bicycle stores or at many national retail stores. The correct size to purchase is shown on the sidewall of the tire.
