Product Care

IMPORTANT: Ensure you follow the regular maintenance and care instructions. Pay special attention to maintenance and care of the brakes.

General Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the locking devices, brakes, harness assembly, catches, seat adjusters, joints and fixings to ensure they are secure and in full working order.
• Do not store your SKIP² in your car for prolonged periods of time, especially when it is hot as this may lead to warping some of the plastics parts and reduce the life of your product.
• The brakes and wheels are subject to wear and should be replaced as and when necessary. Brakes are available through contacting our Customer Care team at info@redsbaby.com.au
• Should any parts of the SKIP² become stiff or difficult to operate, ensure that dirt is not the cause. Use a light application of a silicone spray lubricant, ensuring the lubricant penetrates between the components. Use sparingly, as excessive application may encourage the accumulation of dirt. Regular light lubrication of moving parts will extend the life of your SKIP² and make operating, opening and folding much easier.
• Do not leave the SKIP² in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, as the colour of some fabrics may fade.
• Store the SKIP² in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place.
• Do not use your SKIP² if any screws are loose or missing or if any component is damaged.

Cleaning

Plastic and metal parts

• Sponge clean with warm water and a mild detergent and then air dry.
• Do not use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning products on your SKIP².
• Do not use products that contain alcohol, as they may cause stains, discolouring and damage to the leatherette parts on your SKIP². This includes applying hand sanitiser to your hands or directly on the product.

IMPORTANT: Do not use products that contain alcohol, as they may cause erosion, stains, discolouring and damage to the leatherette parts on your SKIP². This includes applying hand sanitiser to your hands or directly on the product.

Fabrics

• May be cleaned by sponging lightly with warm water and a mild detergent. Then air dry.
• For more instructions, follow the care labels on each fabric item.

IMPORTANT: Do not place any fabric or other component of your SKIP² in the dryer. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before storing.

Warnings and Safety Precautions

Please read the following warnings and safety precautions thoroughly before using your SKIP². Incorrect assembly and use can result in serious injury or death.
Always follow safety instructions for assembly, folding and use.
After unpacking, immediately discard any plastic wrapping and packaging materials, as these can lead to a choking hazard.

• Secure the child in the harness at all times.
• Do not carry extra children or bags on the Redsbaby SKIP².
• Make sure children are clear of any moving parts if you adjust the Redsbaby SKIP², otherwise they may be injured.
• Ensure the frame fold locks are engaged correctly before placing a child in the Redsbaby SKIP².
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Put on all the brakes whenever you park the Redsbaby SKIP².
• Use the harness at all times.
• When not in use disconnect shoulder straps from the waist strap and/or buckle.

Ensure you apply pressure to the handle to lift the front wheels over uneven surface levels or when meeting an incline or decline as required (also called ‘popping’ the front wheels). Failure to take care when changing terrains or surface levels, and when going over uneven surface levels, may cause your pram to become unstable.
