Usage Features
The Costway Baby Stroller BB5347 offers a range of usage features designed to enhance convenience and safety.
Assembly and Initial Setup:
- Frame Opening: The stroller frame can be opened in two steps. First, the frame lock button is released, then the push handle is lifted up and pushed back until the frame locks into place.
- Wheel Installation: Both front and rear wheels are designed for easy installation. The front wheels can be attached by inserting them into their respective slots until they click, while the rear wheels follow a similar process.
- Sleeping Basket/Seat Installation: The sleeping basket/seat is attached to the frame connectors. Users should grasp the basket and insert it firmly into the connectors until it is securely in place.
- Handle Installation: The handle is inserted into the handle holder, ensuring a secure fit.
Adjustments and Customization:
- Handle Height Adjustment: The push handle height can be adjusted by pressing two buttons located on either side of the handle. This allows parents of different heights to comfortably push the stroller.
- Sleeping Basket/Seat Position Adjustment: The sleeping basket/seat can be adjusted to various recline positions. A dedicated button allows users to change the angle, catering to the child's comfort whether they are sleeping or sitting upright.
- Front Wheel Orientation: The front wheels feature an orientation lock button. Pressing down on this button locks the front wheel in a straight position, useful for long-distance travel on uneven terrain, while lifting it up allows for 360-degree swivel, ideal for navigating tight spaces.
- Canopy Use: The canopy can be pushed forward to provide shade and protection for the child.
- Safety Belt System: The stroller is equipped with a comprehensive safety belt system. The safety belt can be unlocked by pressing a button. The shoulder harness connects to the belt connector, which then inserts into the main safety belt connector, ensuring the child is securely fastened. The appropriate connector should be chosen based on the baby's height.
- Seat Back Adjustment: The seat back can be adjusted to different recline positions. One hand is used to press a button, while the other pulls a strap to achieve the desired angle.
Safety Features:
- Braking System: The rear wheels are equipped with a brake pedal. Pressing the pedal towards the user locks the wheels, while pressing it in the opposite direction unlocks them. It is crucial to always apply the brakes when the stroller is stationary.
- Harness Use: The harness must be used at all times to secure the child. An additional strap is provided to prevent the pram/stroller from rolling away.
- Warnings: The manual explicitly warns against leaving children unattended, carrying extra children or bags on the stroller, and ensuring children are clear of moving parts during adjustments. It also advises against using the stroller for children under 6 months old in stroller mode and highlights the danger of strangulation if the harness is buckled when not fitted to a child.
Folding and Storage:
- Folding the Stroller: The stroller can be folded by pressing a lock button and simultaneously pulling up a drag hook, then pressing the frame to collapse the unit. This results in a compact folded form for easy storage and transport.
- Wheel Disassembly: Both front and rear wheels can be easily disassembled by pressing a lock button and pulling the wheels off, further reducing the stroller's size for storage or transport.
- Wrist Strap: A wrist strap is provided for added safety. It should be worn on the user's wrist when pushing the stroller to prevent it from rolling away unintentionally.
Maintenance Features
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity, safety, and optimal performance of the Costway Baby Stroller BB5347. The manual emphasizes the importance of regular inspection and care.
- Regular Inspection: Users are advised to regularly inspect the stroller for any signs of wear and tear, loose components, or damage. This includes checking the locking devices, essential components, and the overall structural integrity of the frame and wheels.
- Lubrication: Moving parts, particularly the locking devices and wheel mechanisms, should be lubricated periodically to ensure smooth operation and prevent stiffness or seizing.
- Freedom of Movement: All locking devices and moving parts should be checked to ensure they have full freedom of movement. Any obstruction or stiffness should be addressed promptly.
- Cleaning: The stroller's fabric components, such as the sleeping basket/seat, canopy, and cotton pad, should be cleaned according to the manufacturer's recommendations to maintain hygiene and appearance. The frame and wheels can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
- Storage: When not in use, the stroller should be stored in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation. If the storage latch does not engage automatically when folded, instructions are provided to manually apply or engage it.
- Accessory Care: Any separately packed accessories should have their own instruction sheets or books, and their maintenance should follow those guidelines. Only accessories approved by the vehicle manufacturer should be used.
- Damage and Missing Parts: In case of missing or damaged parts, users are encouraged to contact Costway's customer service department for replacements, which will be shipped promptly. This ensures that only original and compatible parts are used for repairs, maintaining the stroller's safety standards.
- Weight Limits: Adhering to the maximum weight limits for the storage basket (6.6 lbs / 3 kg) and the overall stroller (33 lbs / 15 kg) is crucial. Exceeding these limits can lead to hazardous unstable conditions and potential damage to the stroller, necessitating careful maintenance of its structural integrity.
