Care & Maintenance

Maintenance
All of the fittings, snaps, locks, rivets, and other hardware and plastic parts on the stroller should be inspected periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not damaged or malfunctioning. The safety harness, as well as all other straps and fabric items and their stitching should also be inspected periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not loose, torn or otherwise damaged. All moving parts, such as wheels, brakes, and hinges should also be checked periodically to ensure they are operating properly.
Any missing, broken, or worn components should be replaced immediately, and the stroller should not be used until they are replaced. Only original manufacturer’s components should be used. If needed, please contact Joovy at our toll-free phone number.

Cleaning
The fabric material on this stroller can be cleaned using mild household soap or detergent and warm water on a sponge or clean cloth. Seat fabric is machine-washable. Remove the metal frame and PE boards from the seat before washing. Do not use solvents, caustic or abrasive cleaning materials. To minimize shrinkage, simply reattach the seat to the frame to dry. Do not press, iron, dry clean, tumble dry or wring the fabric. Always allow the fabric to completely air dry before using the stroller.
The frame and wheels should always be kept clean and free of dirt and foreign matter, especially after operating the stroller in rain, snow, or other harsh environments. Use a sponge or cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent cleaner to clean the wheels after such use. See the
Seat Fabric section for information on removing the seat fabric for washing (page 9).

Storage
Direct sunlight may fade fabric and dry out wheels. Store stroller indoors to prolong its appearance. DO NOT store outdoors. Ensure that the stroller is dry before storing for prolonged periods. Always store the stroller in a dry environment. Store the stroller in a safe place when not in use (i.e. away from children). DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the stroller. DO NOT store the stroller near a direct heat source such as a radiator or open fire.
