• When you are jogging with your child, use the following safety features:
• LOCK THE FRONT SWIVEL WHEEL IN A STRAIGHT POSITION
• SAFETY WRIST STRAP: Always connect the safety strap to either wrist when jogging. This strap will keep the stroller from rolling away in the event that you trip while running (Fig. 23a). The safety strap must always remain connected to the rear lower frame cross member. This location is intended to prevent the stroller from being tipped backward if you do fall to the ground. The safety strap includes a Velcro attachment for storage, on the left side of the stroller, when not in use (Fig. 23b).
• WARNING: Care must be taken when folding the stroller to prevent finger entrapment.
• CAUTION: Do not allow children near the stroller while folding.
• Close the canopy as described in the canopy section. Recline the seat by releasing the buckle as described in the seatback positioning section.
• The stroller is folded by simultaneously pulling each trigger fold (Fig. 24a). When the fold latches are released, the handle will begin to fall toward the floor. Release the fold buttons and press downward on the stroller handle until the stroller is completely folded.
• Secure the stroller in the folded position by locking the fold latch, located on the right side of the stroller, over the rivet that protrudes from the frame (Fig. 24b).

WARNING: Care must be taken when unfolding the stroller to prevent finger entrapment.
CAUTION: Do not allow children near the stroller while unfolding.

• Stand the stroller on the ground with all three wheels touching the ground. Release the folding latch, which is located on the right side (Fig. 25a).
• Lift up on the stroller handle with both hands until the stroller frame is erected and locked in the open position (Fig. 25b). The stroller has spring-loaded latches on both sides of the frame.
  NOTE: Test that both latches are fully engaged prior to placing your child in the stroller.

MAINTENANCE

• Check the pressure before using the stroller.
• Tires are shipped un-inflated. The tires should be inflated on a regular basis to the P.S.I. specified on each tire.
• NOTE: Only use a hand pump.
• DO NOT USE an air compressor to inflate the tire. *Pump not included.
• DO NOT INFLATE above the maximum recommended inflation pressure that is on the side of the tire.

FENDER

Refer to step 27 as needed for replacement purposes.

• Examine the bottom of the front fender. You will notice four 1/4-inch diameter plastic tubes protruding from the bottom (Fig. 27a).
• These tubes must be lined up with holes in the front frame assembly (Fig. 27b).
• Line up the front fender and press onto the front frame assembly (Fig. 27c).
• Insert the 4 screws through the underside of the front frame assembly into the front fender’s plastic tubes. Tighten the screws only until snug (Fig. 29d).
• DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.

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 tend 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 used on flat terrain, follow the sequence of the instructions on page 24 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.
