WARNING

• Do not stand or sit on the footrest. The footrest must only be used as a support for one (1) child’s legs and feet. Any other usage may lead to serious personal injury. The maximum load for the footrest is 3 kg
• Any load that is placed on the pram/stroller (e.g. on the handle, backrest or on the sides of the pram) will affect the stability of the pram. Do not use non-approved accessories.
•  Items in the shopping tray should not protrude over the sides as items could get caught in the wheel spokes.
• For car seats used in conjunction with a chassis, this pram does not replace a cot or a bed. Should your child need to sleep, then it should be placed in a suitable place such as a cot or a bed.
• Never pull a pram/pushchair with swivel front wheels behind you. The pram/pushchair might self turn which can lead to a safety risk if you are not cautious and attentive.
• Never use the pram/stroller to go upstairs or downstairs with your child in the stroller, as you may suddenly lose control of the stroller or your child may fall out. Always remove your child from the stroller before using the stroller on stairs. Use of the stroller on stairs with a child inside could also damage the stroller.

• Do not use this product in strong winds or thunderstorms.
• Please note that train or underground stations may cause sudden high pressure changes in the air (wind or vacuum). Never place this product near any rails without having both hands on the handle as the braking device alone may not be sufficient to keep your stroller safely in place.
• Do not cross rails when the child is placed in the stroller or the prambody. Wheels may get stuck!
• When transporting on public transport (bus, underground, train etc.) it is not enough to use the pram’s parking brake only. The pram can be exposed to conditions (abrupt braking, turns and bumps in the road surface, acceleration etc.) that it has not been tested for according to the current standard EN1888. Follow the recommendations and instructions regarding the safe anchorage of prams during transport that public transport operators are obliged to supply.

WARNING 5- Point harness

• Never use the seat if parts of the 5-point belt are missing or if the belt is damaged.
• The 5-point harness contains magnets or magnetic components. Magnets that attract each other or a metallic object in the human body can cause serious injury or death. Seek medical adviceimmediately if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.
• Medical devices such as implanted pacemakers and defibrillators might contain sensors that respond to magnets and radios when in close contact. To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep a safe distance away from your device (more than 15 cm apart). But consult with your physician and your device manufacturer for specific guidelines.
