Safety Warnings
Milo is designed and tested to comply with AS/NZS2088:2013.
Safety is a serious matter. Please read and follow the below warning notices before using your stroller. Failure to do so could result in serious injury or even death:

Baby (under 6 months) speciﬁc

Seat must be reclined to the ﬂattest position for use with babies under 6 months of age until they can sit-up unaided and support their head. Without being able to support their head there is a risk that their head tilts forward and blocks oxygen ﬂow.
The harness must be used at all times with all 5 straps secured to prevent your baby falling out.
Monitor your baby regularly when using the newborn insert.
Hold the seat in position when extending the canopy to ensure it doesn’t pull the seat-back forward at the same time.

Safety harness

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 the child in the stroller. The harness can form loops which may pose a strangulation hazard.

Canopy

The canopy provides a critical containment function for infants and small children. Ensure that it is ﬁrmly attached at all times.

Accessories & replacement parts

Do not use parts or accessories that are not approved for use with the Milo range. Doing so may be unsafe and may also void your warranty.(e.g. toddler boards, bag hooks etc.)

Folding & carrying your stroller

To avoid ﬁnger entrapment, keep your own and your children’s ﬁngers clear of any folding parts.
Do not lift or carry the stroller when occupied by your child.
Do not lift or carry the stroller when fully assembled.
Only lift and carry after folding.
Always remove the car capsule prior to folding and carry separately.
Ensure that the automatic frame lock is engaged before lifting or carrying the stroller.
Make sure the stroller and all parts are secured when being transported in a vehicle.

General Safety

On steeper sloping and uneven surfaces, there is a possibility that the stroller may tip over and you may need to remove your child.
Do not use if any part is broken, torn or missing. Replacement parts are available from our website or by contacting us.
Do not use or leave the stroller near open ﬁre or exposed ﬂame.
Never leave rain covers or other covers over the stroller indoors, in a hot atmosphere or near a heat source.
Always supervise whilst the stroller is covered.
Always ensure that the frame and the seat/car capsule are correctly engaged before using the product.
Do not overload the stroller with additional children, bags, other items or accessories.
The maximum weight that can be hung from the handlebar is 4kg when the seat is in the forward facing position and 1kg in the parent facing position. Please hold the handlebar at all times when bags are attached to avoid a tipping hazard. If you’re on a sloping surface or your child is moving around in the seat it may become unbalanced.
Do not allow children to stand on the axle/brake bar between the wheels. This is unsafe and could damage the stroller.

Setting up your Bassinet

Lift the bassinet canopy up until it clicks into place. Press down on the bassinet base whilst pulling up on the canopy by the canopy handle to erect the bassinet.

Using the fabric straps, pull the frame support rods towards the ends of the bassinet until they lock under the 4 plastic clips. Tip: if they don’t insert easily simply lift the clip up to help guide the rods into place. Insert the bassinet mattress. Tip: many parents like to wrap their mattress in a muslin cloth or similar to make cleaning easier. Attach the bassinet cover using the Velcro and press studs on each side.

Attaching + Removing the Bassinet

For safety reasons, we recommend removing your baby prior to attaching or removing your bassinet.

Ensure the brake is engaged. Attach the bassinet adaptors.

Hover the bassinet over the bassinet adaptors and push down until you hear a click. Pull up on the canopy handle to ensure the bassinet has securely locked into place.

To remove the bassinet, lift the release lever at the back of the canopy all the way up and use the handle to lift the bassinet up and off the frame.

To remove the bassinet adaptors simply press the buttons in the middle of the adaptors and lift up.

Setting up your Frame

To release the frame from the folded position, pull back the black plastic frame lock on the left hand side of the frame and lift the handlebar up to open the frame.

To adjust the handlebar to your desired position, unclip the handlebar locks located on each side of the frame and pull or push to your desired height.
Note the grooves underneath the frame bar. It needs to be sitting within a groove for the locks to be able to close. If you ﬁnd they won’t close simply give the bar a jiggle to ﬁnd the nearest groove.
To attach the rear wheels to your frame push each wheel pin into the sides of the rear axel until you hear a “click”. Give them a tug to ensure they are attached securely.

Next, insert each front wheel pin into the centre of the front wheel socket ensuring you hear them “click” in.
Give each wheel a ﬁrm tug to ensure they are secure.

Setting up your Seat

Line up the round plastic seat connectors with+ the frame and press the seat downwards.

Push the foot rest down into place and the back of the seat backwards until they both lock ﬁrmly into place in a normal seated position.

To adjust the foot rest, using both hands, press the round buttons on the sides of the foot rest and adjust down to your required level. No need to push them to adjust it up.

To recline the seat, fully lift the seat recline latch located on the back of the seat and adjust the seat forward or back.

Tips to avoid tears
The strap hanging from your handlebar is a wrist tether strap.
Please ensure you slip your hand through here whenever you’re using the stroller. It’s designed to prevent the stroller rolling away and is a requirement of the Australian Standards for all prams and strollers.

Removing your Seat

The seat can be faced in a forward or rear facing position.

To remove the seat, lift the foot rest and lower half of the seat up to meet the seat back, simultaneously lifting the seat recline latch and lifting the entire seat unit directly up and out of the black plastic seat connectors.

Don’t worry if it feels awkward at ﬁrst, you’ll be doing it with your eyes closed in no time!

Tips to avoid tears
USING THE STROLLER WITH A BABY UNDER 6 MONTHS
The seat must be fully reclined to the ﬂattest position. (An upright or semi reclined seat can increase the risk of your child’s head tilting/falling forwards resulting in reduced airﬂow which can lead to serious injury or even death. Always use the harness with all 5 straps secured.
The seat can be used with or without the newborn insert provided.

Setting up your Canopy

To attach the canopy, make sure the seat is in the parent facing position to give you room away from the frame.

Attach the plastic canopy connectors onto the sides of the frame (tip: gently pull both sides out to widen the connector gap).

Next press the button on the back of the canopy connectors and slide the connectors up until they click into the second position. This will give taller toddlers additional headroom.

Tips to avoid tears
The seat must NOT be used without the canopy. The canopy acts as a head barrier ensuring your child remains securely in the seat.
When adjusting the canopy when the seat is reclined, always hold the seat in place to avoid it moving forward.

Secure the canopy to the seat using the four press studs.

The canopy can be extended using the zipper.

Adjusting your Harness

To secure the harness:

Using the strap buckles, adjust the length of each strap to ensure it ﬁts nice and snug.
Attach each of the 4 harness straps into the central buckle (they must be facing the correct way to insert).
Always give the harness a tug to ensure it’s secure.
To release press the button in the middle of the buckle.

To adjust the height of the harness straps:

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

Tips to avoid tears
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 the child in the stroller. The harness can form loops which may cause a strangulation hazard.

The ﬁnal steps
Insert the belly bar into the belly bar slots on the seat frame.
Always give the bar a ﬁrm tug to ensure it is 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.)

Front wheel locks
When travelling fast along straight surfaces or across uneven terrain, the front wheels may spin or cause what’s known as “wheel shudder”.
To lock the front swivel wheels into place, engage the wheel lock buttons (located on the back of the front wheel sockets).

Tips to avoid tears
Do not allow your child to climb, stand or play on the stroller.
To avoid tipping, do not allow your child to climb unassisted into the stroller.

The Milo basket has been tested to hold 8kg. Overloading the basket with more weight may cause the basket to to break. To remove the basket simply undo the zips around each bar as well as the fabric loop around the top.

Adjusting the handlebar
Unclip the handlebar locks located on each side of the frame and pull or push to your desired height. Note the groves underneath the frame bar.

Accessories

Rain cover
Pull the rain cover over the top of the canopy and then over the footrest as shown below. Never leave the stroller covered indoors, in very hot weather or near a heat source. Always supervise and monitor your child regularly whilst the stroller is covered.

Newborn Insert
Recline the seat fully before placing the insert onto the seat. Adjust the head cushion based on your baby’s size.
Next adjust the harness to be the right length for your baby.
For a newborn, the shoulder straps should be threaded through the lowest loop on the seat before threading through the corresponding slot on the insert.
Waist straps should also be threaded through the slots on the insert.
For larger toddlers, the straps can be moved around the outside of the insert, not threaded through the strap slots (as pictured).

Newborn UV cover
With the seat in the parent facing position and fully reclined for newborn use, you can attach the UV cover to provide greater protection for your little one. Simply loop the elastic loops around the plastic slots on the handlebar. Cover the other end over the fully extended canopy and do up the toggles below the canopy connectors on the seat frame.

Milo Maintenance

Please use and treat Milo with respect and care. Your stroller will need to be 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 miniatous instructions below to keep your stroller looking and feeling newer for longer!

Regular maintenance:

Inspect the locking devices, levers, joints, buttons, brakes, wheels, safety harness and ﬁxtures to ensure they are secure, moving freely and in fully working order.
If any parts of the stroller 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 stroller 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.
WARNING! POISONOUS, TOXIC SUBSTANCE. USE WITH CARE.
Ensure children are not present when applying silicon lubricant or allowing it to dry. Always spray outside or in a well ventilated area. Ensure you use minimal product and wipe away excess solution before use.
Follow our cleaning instructions on the next page.

Correct Use
Milo 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.
Taking Milo off-road or over uneven terrain will clearly place more stress on the frame and wheels and cause the stroller to wear out faster.
For this reason we recommend “weekend adventures” and not regular off-road use.

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

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

Cleaning Instructions

To keep your stroller looking and functioning like new, we recommend a deep, comprehensive clean every 6 months.
For a full guide on how to clean your pram, please refer to our website.

Use a soft brush to brush Milo down and remove any dirt or dust, making sure you get into all the nooks and cranny’s (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 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 newborn insert are machine washable on a delicate setting (maximum water temperature of 30°C) however handwashing 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 fabric.
Do not tumble dry.
Do not dry clean.

WARNING!

Do not clean your stroller with children around.
Do not remove, 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 effect the safety of your stroller and may void your warranty.
