In Motion

Steering

• Steering your stroller is simple: It is balanced to turn with just a light touch on the handlebar without having to lift the front wheel.

In the Dark

• Since we are concerned about the safety of you and your child, we recommend that you not use your stroller at night. However, if you choose to, please attach reflective strips to the wheels and the seat. Bicycle lights can also be mounted on the handle crossbar. These accessories can be found at most bike stores.

Maintenance

• To preserve the longevity of your stroller, it is important to perform simple, regular maintenance.
  The tires on your stroller are foam filled. Though the P.S.I is printed on the tire, you will never need to inflate them. From time to time, make sure that the joints and folding areas are still in good condition. If you hear any squeaking or feel tension, you can take your stroller to a local bike shop for added lubrication. All repairs should only be carried out by an authorized dealer.

Stroller Care

Washing

• You can machine wash your stroller’s seat in cold water with a mild detergent.
  To minimize shrinkage, simply reattach the seat to the frame to dry. (Please do not put the seat in the dryer!)

• Be sure to remove the frame from the back of the seat before washing.

Wheel Care

• The wheels can be cleaned using a damp cloth. They will need to be dried completely with a soft towel or cloth.

Storing

• Sunshine can fade seat fabric and dry out tires, so storing your stroller indoors will prolong its good looks. However, if you do store it outside, using a tarp will help protect against weather wear.
