Intended Use

The Special Tomato Jogger Pushchair is a jogger that provides mild to moderate positioning support for children with special needs. Its large wheels and sturdy frame make it ideal for both smooth indoor surfaces and rugged outdoor trails. It offers typical features for a lightweight jogger, including several adjustment options, accessories, a brake mechanism, user safety tether and the ability to fold for easy transport. The EU version features a front wheel cable operated disk brake.

Environment of Use

The Jogger Pushchair is intended for both indoor and outdoor use, in the home and community. If used in the rain, wipe off excess water with a soft cloth. If the chair is splashed with mud or corrosive substances like road salt, the chair should be washed clean with water, wiped dry, and a hypoallergenic and biodegradable lubricant reapplied to the moving parts. Contact with seawater should be avoided, as it will corrode areas that cannot be washed clean. When going from outside to inside, clean any excess dirt or mud from the wheels to prevent soiling of inside environment.
