How to Keep Your Child Safe While Using this Stroller

• Adult assembly is required.
• Never leave your child unattended while in the stroller. Accidents can happen quickly while your back is turned. You must always keep your child in view while your child is in the stroller, even when sleeping. Do not use this product as a bed. Your child may become tangled in straps or pads and suffocate.
• Always use a restraint system to keep the child from standing up or falling out of the stroller.
• Always lock the stroller open before allowing your child in or near the stroller. This prevents injuries caused by the stroller collapsing.
