Carry Cot components

Assembling the Carry Cot

4. The Carry Cot sides should now be rigid.
5. Zip the lining back into place and place the mattress inside the Carry Cot ensuring it is flat and snug.
6. Locate the canopy/handle adjustment button on each of the canopy hinges. Raise the canopy by pressing the buttons simultaneously and lift the canopy upwards.

8. To secure the apron, locate the Velcro underneath the corner of the canopy fabric and attach the matching Velcro on the apron.

Attaching the sunshade

Note: To connect the sunshade, ensure the Carry Cot’s canopy is fully extended. The sunshade can be easily stowed above the canopy when not in use, or when removing baby.

1. Locate the start of the zip on the sunshade. Locate the zip connector inside the bottom left side of the Carry Cot’s extended canopy (don’t confuse this zip with the zip to remove the canopy fabric). Connect the zip at this point.
2.  Zip the sunshade to the canopy.
3. Stretch the sunshade over the length of the Carry Cot.
4. Secure the sunshade by extending it over the end of the Carry Cot or over the handlebar.

Removing the canopy fabric

1. Locate the zips connecting the canopy fabric on each inner side of the Carry Cot’s extended canopy (don’t confuse the zip on the left hand side with the zip for the sunshade).
2. Unzip each side.
3. Remove canopy fabric.

Attaching the Carry Cot to the stroller frame

Important: The Edwards & Co Carry Cot can only be used with approved Edwards & Co strollers. Do not use with other brand strollers.

How to care for and maintain your Carry Cot

Store your Carry Cot and accessories carefully
Store inside in a well-ventilated, dry area.
Do not store in a damp environment that is not well insulated (such as an unfinished basement or outdoor shed).
Store when dry, not damp or wet.
Store away from direct sunlight. Direct sunlight could cause fabric fading or damage.
Do not place heavy objects on top of your Carry Cot or accessories.
NEVER allow your Carry Cot to come into contact with corrosive substances. Examples are battery acid or petroleum products. Corrosion is not covered under our warranty – see the Warranty in this Instruction Manual.

Clean your Carry Cot carefully
Use a damp cloth to clean the canopy and outer material. To dampen a cloth, dip the cloth in a small amount of mild detergent diluted in water (such as laundry liquid).

• NEVER fully soak the cloth in water.

• NEVER get the mattress inner foam wet. If this gets wet, replace the mattress with an approved Edwards & Co mattress only.
  To clean the mattress lining or Carry Cot lining, we recommend a warm wash (30 degrees) in a normal wash (for front loaders) or gentle wash (for top loaders).

• NEVER clean any part of the Carry Cot with abrasive, ammonia-based, bleach-based or spirit-based cleaners.
  See care labels for specific instructions regarding machine washing.

Dry your Carry Cot carefully
Dry the Carry Cot thoroughly before storing it.
NEVER tumble dry any part of the Carry Cot.
NEVER wring any Carry Cot fabrics.

Check regularly for wear and tear
Check regularly for wear and tear on all Carry Cot parts.

Inspect your Carry Cot regularly
Get your Carry Cot inspected regularly to maintain it. Regular inspection ensures the locking devices are working correctly and essential components are secure.

Use your Carry Cot in sunlight for short periods
Always store your Carry Cot in a shaded area. Only use your Carry Cot in direct sunlight for short periods. This will help reduce fabric fading and damage.

Read our Servicing Guide before using the Carry Cot on the beach or near salt water
If you live within 3kms of the sea, take extra care to park/store your Carry Cot indoors and away from wind. Salt water carries in strong winds and is extremely corrosive.
Do not use your Carry Cot on the beach. Salt and moisture can damage moving parts. Even salty atmospheric conditions can affect the Carry Cot’s mechanisms.
