KEEPING YOUR DUO3 IN TIP-TOP SHAPE

Excessive wear can reduce the effectiveness and safety of your stroller. To keep your stroller in good working condition and ensure that it lasts as long as possible will require regular maintenance.
Regular maintenance should include:

  • Inspecting the locking devices, levers, joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety harness & fixtures to ensure they are secure, moving freely and in full working order.
  • If any parts of the stroller 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: Silicone lubricant is preferable.

WARNING
POISONOUS, TOXIC SUBSTANCE. USE WITH CARE.

  • ENSURE CHILDREN ARE NOT PRESENT WHEN APPLYING SILICONE 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.

Correct storage

  • Do not leave the stroller in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time to avoid colour fade.
  • Do not leave DUO3 in your car on hot days or near any heat source or fire.
  • Do not store the stroller with heavy items on top of it.
  • Store the stroller in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place.

Preventing rust & mould

  • After exposure to wet or damp conditions, leave the stroller fully open in a warm, well-ventilated environment.
  • You may need to dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Left damp it will encourage mildew, mould, or rust to form, causing damage to the stroller.
  • Try to store your stroller in a dry, well-ventilated room inside your house. Ventilation is key.

Note: mould is an environmental issue caused by excess moisture in the air. If you live in a humid climate, please keep this in mind and take extra care to prevent mould.
Cleaning instructions
To keep your stroller looking and functioning like new, we recommend a deep, comprehensive clean every 6 months.
Refer to the care labels on your stroller. For a full guide on how to clean your pram, please refer to our website.
