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.
