Step 1 – Setting up your frame

1. To release the frame from the folded position, press the black button on the right frame release lever, and pull both release levers back towards the handle.
   

2. To open, lift up and swing the lower section into place ensuring you hear it “click” into place.

3. Attach the brake bar to the rear of the frame. Push until you see the silver locking pins click into place.
   

4. To attach the rear wheels push each wheel pin into the sides of the brake bar until you hear a “click”. Give them a tug to ensure they are attached securely.

5. Next, insert each front wheel pin into the centre of the socket ensuring you hear them “click” in. Give each wheel a firm tug to ensure they are secure.
   Your frame should now be set up.

Step 2 – Setting up your seat & canopy

WARNING
Your canopy acts as a head barrier and important safety feature.
Only use the stroller with the canopy fully attached.

1. Line up the seat connectors with the frame and press downwards. Listen for the ‘click’ and ensure it is securely locked in place.
   Refer to page 12 for instructions on adjusting your harness.

2. To recline the seat, lift the seat recline latch located at the canopy end of the frame and tilt the seat forward or back.
   Note: The seat can be faced in the forward or rear facing position.
   WARNING
   • This stroller seats one passenger with a maximum weight limit of 20kg.
   • Not suitable for a child under 6 months old who cannot sit up unaided.
   • Do not allow your child to climb unassisted into the stroller.
   • Maximum weight for the seat pocket is 1kg.
   TIP: Your canopy visor may need a little TLC after shipping. To get it looking nice and new again simply apply heat from a clothes steamer or hair dryer to remove any wrinkles (just be careful to scorch the fabric). This is not covered under warranty.

3. To attach the canopy, first secure it to the frame with the zip starting from the left side (when facing the seat).

4. Next attach the plastic canopy connectors onto the sides of the frame (TIP: attach from top to bottom). You’ll notice a round guide on each side, the connectors should attach over these guides.

5. Finally, insert the belly bar into the belly bar sockets on the seat frame. Always give the bar a firm tug to ensure its secure.
   Note: To remove from one side or both, press the button on the side you want to release, and pull the belly bar out.

• Never leave the harness buckled when not fitted to the child in the stroller. The harness can form loops which may cause a strangulation hazard.

Using your ROVER

Correct use:
Any vehicle with moving parts needs to be used and treated with care and given regular maintenance to remain safe and in good condition. Please be gentle, don’t overload it, avoid excessive off-road use and be sure to follow the maintenance instructions on page 16 to keep your ROVER looking and feeling newer for longer!
Rear brake:
When stopping, use the brake at all times by pressing down on the bottom of the red brake paddle with your foot until you feel it click into place. To start travelling again press down on the top of the red lever with your foot to disengage the brake and off you go!  Front swivel wheels:
When travelling fast along straight surfaces or across uneven terrain, the front wheels may spin or cause what’s commonly known as as “wheel shudder”.
To lock the front swivel wheels  into place, press down on the wheel lock buttons (located on the top of the wheel sockets).To go back to 360° swivel mode, press the buttons again.
To remove the front wheels, press the button on the side of the wheel socket and pull the wheel down.
Rear wheels:
To remove the rear wheels, press the button located on the brake bar and pull the wheel off.
Basket:
The ROVER basket has been tested to hold 8kg. Overloading the basket with more weight may cause the basket to break.
Reclining the seat:
The seat can recline to 4 set positions. Fully lift the seat recline latch (located at the top of the canopy) and recline the seat to the desired position. Adjusting the footrest:
Press both footrest buttons simultaneously and adjust the footrest to the desired position.

Safety Harness:
Always engage the brake before placing your child in the stroller.
To secure the harness:

1. Attach each of the 4 harness straps into the central buckle.

2. Adjust the length of each strap to ensure it fits nice and snug.
   

3. Always give the harness a tug to ensure it’s secure.

4. To release press the button in the middle of the buckle.

WARNING’
Always use the harness when your child is in the stroller. Always adjust the harness appropriately for your child’s size.
To adjust the height of the harness straps:

1. Depending on your child’s height, thread the shoulder strap through the appropriate slot on the seat.
2. Ensure it is thread through the corresponding slot of the seat liner.
3. Adjust the strap length using the buckle as required.
   

Having trouble?

Canopy:
Adjust the canopy as needed to protect your child from the sun and wind. For maximum protection, use the zip to extend the canopy to its maximum length. WARNING

Only use the stroller with the canopy fully attached.
Adjusting The Handlebar:

Folding the Stroller

Recommended as the safest option:

1. Before folding, ensure that the front wheels are unlocked.
2. Remove the stroller seat by lifting the release levers on either side.
3. Push the black button on the frame release lever and then pull both black release levers up the frame.
4. Push down on the handlebar to close it.
5. Then you can lift the frame up using the carry bar and the front wheels will close inwards.
6. The frame has an automatic lock that ensures that it stays closed while you are carrying or storing the pram. To ensure that it has engaged, always push the front section of the frame closed as far as you can and give it a pull to ensure you cannot release it.

WARNING

• Always take care when folding the frame and lift the frame from the carry bar.
• Always remove the car capsule, bassinet or seat prior to folding and carry the frame and seat/bassinet separately. This is the safest carry method for your back.

Free Accessories

Rain Cover (compatible with seat & bassinet)
Pull the rain cover and elastic over the top of the canopy and then over the end of the bassinet. The elastic will prevent the rain cover from flying away in the wind. Please ensure the air vents are located on either side so that air can pass through.
Note: The cover will be looser on the bassinet due to its shorter frame and canopy.
UV / Mosquito / Sleep Cover Fully extend the canopy. Attach the press studs onto the sides of the canopy connectors, then hook the cover over the base of the seat and top of the canopy.
Note: Compatible with seat only, covering your bassinet with any fabric could result in overheating or reduced oxygen.
Handlebar bag
Secure the straps with the press studs over the handlebar. Be careful carrying liquids in the handlebar bag. Hot liquids may burn you or your child.
Seat Liner
Attach the seat liner by threading the harness straps from the seat through the corresponding slot.
WARNING

• Do not carry bags from the handlebar other than the one provided by Babybee.
• Do not use parts or accessories that are not approved for use with the Babybee ROVER range. Doing so may be unsafe and may also void your warranty. (e.g. toddler boards, bag hooks, rain covers, etc).
• Never leave covers on or over the pram indoors, in very hot weather or near a heat source. Always supervise and monitor your child regularly whilst the pram is covered.
  

Tips for maintaining your pram.

Excessive wear can reduce the effectiveness and safety of your pram. To keep your ROVER in good working condition and ensure that it lasts as long as possible will require regular maintenance and you will need to service your pram every 6 months.
Regular maintenance should include:
Inspecting the locking devices, levers, joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety harness and fixtures to ensure they are secure, moving freely and in fully working order.
If any parts of the pram have become stiff, difficult to operate or begin to squeak, first ensure that dirt is not the cause. Then try a light application of a sprayable silicone lubricant, ensuring that it penetrates between the components. (Note: Only use lubricant labeled ‘Silicone Lubricant’, other lubricants can deteriorate the plastic parts of your pram and also attract dirt and dust e.g. DO NOT use standard WD40). We recommend WD-40 SPECIALIST Silicon Lubricant or SCA Silicone Spray available from Supercheap Auto, Bunnings and most hardware stores.
Preventing rust & mould
After exposure to wet or damp conditions (especially trips to the beach, snow or in the rain), leave the pram fully open in a warm, well ventilated environment to prevent rust and mould. You may need to dry with a soft, lint free cloth. Left damp it will encourage mildew, mould or rust to form, damaging the pram.
Correct Use
The ROVER has been designed for urban living and weekend adventures which means it’s ideal for walking on sealed footpaths, in shopping centres, cafes and down at your local park. Use of the ROVER off-road or over uneven terrain will clearly place more stress on the frame and wheels and cause it to wear out faster. For this reason we recommend “weekend adventures” and not regular off-road use.

WARNING
POISONOUS, TOXIC SUBSTANCE. USE WITH CARE.
Ensure children are not present when applying silicon lubricant or allowing it to dry. Always spray outside or in a well ventilated area. Ensure you use minimal product and wipe away excess solution before use.
Storage

• Do not leave the pram in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time to avoid colour fade.
• Do not leave in your car on days of extreme heat or near any heat source or fire.
• Do not store the stroller with heavy items on top of it.
• Store the pram in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place.

Spare Parts

• The brakes and wheels are subject to normal wear and should be replaced if necessary.
• Spare parts are available for  purchase on the Spare Parts page of our website: babybeeprams.com.au
  If the part you require is not listed please email us for a quote.

Cleaning Instructions

For a comprehensive deep cleaning guide (we recommended you do this every 6 months) please refer to our website.

• Use a soft brush to brush down the pram and remove any dirt or dust making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies (i.e inside the wheel hubs, inside the joints
  from all folding parts etc). You could also give it a good vacuum.

• At the first sign of rust, remove with steel wool.

• All plastic, fabric and metal parts of the pram may be sponged clean with a soft cloth in warm water and a mild detergent.

• Wipe dry with a soft towel or cloth and allow all parts to dry thoroughly before using.

• The seat liner and bassinet mattress liner are machine washable on a delicate setting (maximum water temperature of 30°C) however handwashing will keep them looking newer for longer.

Do not

• Do not immerse the seat or canopy in water, sponge clean only.
• Do not clean with abrasive materials or using ammonia, bleach, solvents, caustic or spirit-based cleaners.
• Do not press or iron.
• Do not rub or wring fabric.
• Do not tumble dry.

WARNING

• Do not clean your pram with children around.
• Do not dismantle or alter any part of the folding mechanisms, frame, brake axel or wheels for cleaning or any other reason.

Failing to adhere to these maintenance and cleaning instructions could damage or effect the safety of your pram and may void your warranty.
