(2) Lift the handlebar upwards. Place your foot on the brake bar to secure the frame while it opens. Ensure you hear the frame click’ into place. **(3)** To attach the rear wheels push the release buttons located on the sides of the brake bar and then insert each wheel pin into the sides of the brake bar until you hear aclick’. Give them a tug to ensure they are attached securely.
(4) Next, insert each front wheel pin into the center of the socket ensuring you hear them `click’ in. Give each wheel a firm tug to ensure they are secure.
Your frame is now set up

Step 2

Double or Single-mode?

(1) When using the stroller in single mode, the double adaptors must be removed. The bassinet or seat can be attached directly to the central connectors.
Note: if using a car capsule, you will always need to first insert the DUO capsule adaptors (sold separately).

(2) When using the stroller in the double mode you will need to first attach the two sets of double adaptors.
The first set each attaches to the central connectors for the “top position”. To remove them simply push the buttons on the side and lift them off.
The second set will slide onto the guides at the front of the frame for the “lower position”. To remove them you will need to release the tab at the top of the connector before sliding off.

WARNING
There is an increased risk of the stroller tipping if used in double mode with only one child in the seat. Please be mindful of this and hold the stroller at all times if you are doing so.

The Babybee DUO2 was designed to be as versatile as possible to accommodate the changing needs of your family.

The DUO2 offers over 20 configurations as both a single and double stroller:

Step 3

Setting up your seats

(1) Line up the seat connectors with the frame and press downwards. Listen for the `click’ and ensure it is securely locked in place.
(2) To recline the seat press the large, round buttons on the sides of the seat connectors and tilt the seat forward or back.
(3) To remove the seat press the oval buttons on the sides of the seat connectors and lift up.
Note: The seat can be faced in the forward or rear-facing position.

WARNING
This stroller seats two passengers with a maximum weight limit of 20kg each. The stroller seats are not suitable for children under 6 months. Do not allow your child to climb unassisted into the stroller.

(4) Next attach the plastic canopy connectors onto the sides of the frame (TIP: attach from top to bottom). You’ll notice a round guide on each side, the connectors should attach over these guides.
Note: For additional headroom, you can attach the canopy connectors higher up the frame, above the guides.

(5) Finally, insert the belly bar into the belly bar sockets on the seat frame. Always give the bar a firm tug to ensure it’s secure.
Note: To remove from one side or both, press the button on the side you want to release, and pull the belly bar out.

WARNING
Please ensure that your child correctly wears the fitted and adjusted safety harness at all times with all 5 straps secured. Never leave the harness buckled when not fitted to your child.

Using your DUO

`Normal’ usage

Any vehicle with moving parts needs to be used and treated with care and given regular maintenance to remain safe and in good condition. Please be gentle, don’t overload it, avoid excessive off-road use and be sure to follow the maintenance instructions on page 18 to keep your DUO2 looking and feeling newer for a longer

Rear brake

When stopped, use the brake at all times by pressing down on the bottom of the red brake paddle with your foot until you feel it click into place. To start traveling again press down on the top of the red lever with your foot to disengage the brake and off you go!

Front swivel wheels

When traveling quickly along straight surfaces or across uneven terrain, the front wheels may spin or cause what’s commonly known as “wheel shudder”. To lock the front swivel wheels into place, press down on the wheel lock buttons (located on the back of the wheel sockets). To go back to 360′ swivel mode press the buttons up again.
To remove the wheels you will need to use a flat screwdriver or similar tool to carefully press the silver button located on the wheel hub. Please take care whilst doing this.

Rear wheels

To remove the rear wheels, press the button located on the brake bar and pull the wheel off

Basket

The DUO2 basket has been tested to hold 8kg. Overloading the basket with more weight may cause the basket to break.

Reclining the seat

Press the large, round buttons located on the sides of the seat connectors and recline the seat to the desired position.

Adjusting the footrest

Lift the footrest and it will click into the highest position. To release, press both footrest buttons simultaneously and lower.

Note: Do not put downward pressure on the footrest until the buttons are completely depressed or it will feel stuck and not move. Never let children sit on the footrest or climb into the seat using the footrest. Doing so may snap or damage the footrest.

Using your DUO²

Safety harness

Always engage the brake before placing your child in the stroller.
To secure the harness:

1. Attach each of the 4 harness straps into the central buckle.
2. Adjust the length of each strap to ensure it fits nicely and snug.
3. Always give the harness a tug to ensure it’s secure.
4. To release press the button in the middle of the buckle.

WARNING
Always use the harness when your child is in the stroller. Always adjust the harness appropriately for your child’s size.

To lengthen or adjust the harness:

1. Depending on your child’s height, thread the shoulder strap through the appropriate slot on the seat.
2. Ensure it is thread through the corresponding slot of the seat liner.
3. Adjust the strap length using the buckle as required.

Seat canopy

Adjust the canopy as needed to protect your child from the sun and wind. For maximum protection, use the zip to extend the canopy to its maximum length. For more headroom move the canopy connectors higher up the frame.

Adjusting the handlebar

Push the button in the middle of the handlebar and pull or push to your desired height. It may require a slight `jiggle” to adjust.

Adjusting the bassinet ventilation

The bassinet has an inbuilt sun visor. Please be gentle when pulling this out to avoid the rod weakening over time. The head end of the bassinet fabric can also be unzipped to expose a mesh panel, allowing additional airflow through the bassinet. Similarly, the canopy peekaboo flap can be opened for more airflow.
Supervise your baby in the bassinet at all times. When adjusting the canopy, do not put pressure on the canopy until the buttons are completely depressed or it will stick and not move.

Tips for maintaining your pram

Excessive wear can reduce the effectiveness and safety of your pram. To keep your DUO2 in good working condition and ensure that it lasts as long as possible, it will require regular maintenance and you will need to service your pram every 6 months.

Regular maintenance should include
Inspecting the locking devices, levers, joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety harness, es and fixtures to ensure they are secure, moving freely, and in full working order.

If any parts of the pram have become stiff, difficult to operate, or begin to squeak, first ensure that dirt is not the cause. Then try a light application of a sprayable silicone lubricant, ensuring that it penetrates between the components.

Note: Only use lubricant labeled `Silicone Lubricant’, other lubricants can deteriorate the plastic parts of your pram and also attract dirt and dust e.g. DO NOT use standard WD40

We recommend WD-40 SPECIALIST Silicon Lubricant or SCA Silicone Spray available from Supercheap Auto, Bunnings, and most hardware stores.

Preventing rust & mold
After exposure to wet or damp conditions (especially trips to the beach, snow, or in the rain), leave the pram fully open in a warm, well-ventilated environment to prevent rust and mold. You may need to dry with a soft, lint- free cloth. Left damp, it will encourage mildew, mold, or rust to form, damaging the pram.

Correct Use
The DUO2 has been designed for urban living and weekend adventures which means it’s ideal for walking on sealed footpaths, in shopping centers, cafes, and down at your local park. Use of the DUO2 off-road or over uneven terrain will clearly place more stress on the frame and wheels and cause it to wear out faster. For this reason, we recommend “weekend adventures” and not regular off-road use.

WARNING POISONOUS, TOXIC SUBSTANCE. USE WITH CARE
Ensure children are not present when applying silicone lubricant or allowing it to dry. Always spray outside or in a well-ventilated area. Wipe away excess solution before use.

Storage
Do not leave the pram in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time to avoid color fade. Do not leave in your car on hot days or near any heat source or fire. Do not store the stroller with heavy items on top of it. Store the pram in a dry, well-ventilated, and safe place.

Spare Parts
The brakes and wheels are subject to normal wear and should be replaced if necessary. Spare parts are available for purchase on the Spare Parts page of our website: babybeeprams.com.au If the part you require is not listed please email us for a quote.

Cleaning Instructions
Use a soft brush to brush down the pram and remove any dirt or dust making sure you get into all the nooks and crannies (i.e inside the wheel hubs, inside the joints from all folding parts, etc). You could also give it a good vacuum.
At the first sign of rust, remove with steel wool. All plastic, fabric, and metal parts of the pram may be sponged clean with a soft cloth in warm water and a mild detergent.

Wipe dry with a soft towel or cloth and allow all parts to dry thoroughly before using.

The seat liner and bassinet mattress liner are machines washable on a delicate setting (maximum water temperature of 30°C however hand-washing will keep them looking newer for longer.

Do not
Do not immerse the seat or canopy in water, sponge clean only. Do not clean with abrasive materials or using ammonia, bleach, solvents, caustic or spirit- based cleaners. Do not press or iron. Do not rub or wring the fabric. Do not tumble dry. Do not dry clean.

WARNING
Do not clean your pram with children around. Do not dismantle or alter any part of the folding mechanisms, frame, brake axel, or wheels for cleaning or any other reason. Do not use if any part is broken, torn, or missing. Replacement parts are available from our website or by contacting us.

Failing to adhere to these maintenance and cleaning instructions could damage or affect the safety of your pram and may void your warranty.
