Usage Features:

Assembly:

The stroller requires adult assembly. Components to be installed include the front wheel, rear wheels, parent tray, and child tray.

Front Wheel Installation: The front wheel uses an axle lock nut system. The stroller should be leaned backward with the front fork pointing upward. The front wheel axle hooks into the fork's slots. A retainer plate slides onto the axle with its bent tab facing and trapped inside the front fork slot. Axle lock nuts are then tightened with a standard wrench until secure. Proper installation is confirmed by pulling on the wheel and ensuring the front swivel wheel is locked.
Rear Wheel Installation: Lay the stroller on its side. Align the back wheel axle with the rear wheel axle housing and push inward until a "click" is heard, indicating a fully locked position. Pull outward to verify security.
Parent Tray Attachment: The parent fabric organizer attaches to the jogger handle using velcro straps. The strap wraps around the handle, threads through a plastic buckle, and is pulled tight. An internal velcro strip secures the organizer.
Canopy Operation: To open, pull the front edge forward until fully extended. To close, push the front edge backward until collapsed.
Sun Visor Operation: To open, pull down and rotate the front edge of the sun visor under the canopy until fully extended.
Peek-A-Boo Window: To open, flip the window backward.
Child Tray Attachment: Rotate and align the child tray posts with the stroller tray posts. Press the posts into a fully locked position. Press the child tray button and snap the tray onto the stroller posts, then release the button to lock. Verify security by pulling upward.
Child Tray Removal/Access: To access the child seat, press the left or right release buttons and rotate the tray upward. To remove the tray, press both release buttons and pull upward.
Adjustable Handle: Press the handle release button and push the handle upward or downward to the desired position. A "click" indicates it is safely locked.

Safety and Operation:

Brakes: Rear wheel brakes are located on each rear wheel. To lock, press downward on the brake lever until it clicks. To release, gently push upward. Brakes should always be locked when the stroller is parked on a hill or incline, and the child should never be left unattended.
Securing the Child:
1. Place the child in the stroller, positioning the crotch belt between their legs.
2. Pull shoulder straps over the child's arms and shoulders, fastening both strap ends to the restraint system.
3. Fasten both waist belts to the buckle on each side of the crotch belt until a "click" is heard.
4. Check that the restraint system is securely attached by pulling it away from the child.
5. Tighten the waist belts and shoulder straps by feeding the anchored end of the waist belt up through the buckle to form a loop, then pulling the free end. For shoulder straps, feed the top end through the plastic stay to form a loop, then pull the bottom end down.
6. To loosen, reverse the process: feed the free end of the waist belt up through the buckle to enlarge the loop, then pull the anchored end. For shoulder straps, feed the bottom end through the plastic stay, then pull the top end up.
7. Always ensure the restraint system is snug and securely fastened after adjustment.
Seat Back Recline: Squeeze both sides of the cord housing and pull away to recline the seat. To return to an upright position, hold the bottom cord loops, squeeze the cord housing, and move it upward toward the backseat. The three back buttons must always remain attached to the back of the seat.
Car Seat Attachment (Adapters Sold Separately):
1. Lock back wheels, close the canopy, and recline the seat. Turn and lock the grey latches.
2. Align the car seat (feet first) and lower it into a locked position on the child tray until it "clicks." Verify security by pulling upward.
3. Secure the car seat to the stroller using velcro straps. The top strap secures Graco, Chicco, and Evenflo car seats. The lower strap secures Britax car seats.
4. For Chicco and Britax car seats, specific adapters are required. These adapters are labeled for left/right placement and must be inserted into the stroller arm posts with locking tabs facing inward. Ensure the release button is securely fastened.
5. To remove a car seat, lift the back lever (if applicable) and lift the car seat upward.
Jogging with Stroller:
- Front Swivel Wheel Lock: Push upward on the front swivel wheel lock to put the wheel in a straight position, preventing swiveling during jogging, running, or fast walking.
- Safety Tether Strap: Always connect the tether strap to either the right or left wrist when jogging to prevent the stroller from rolling away. The strap must remain connected to the rear lower frame cross member. It can be stored on the side with velcro when not in use. The tether strap also helps prevent the stroller from tipping backward.

Folding and Unfolding:

Folding: Close the canopy and recline the seat. Simultaneously pull each trigger fold located on the right and left handle above the canopy. The handle will rotate and lower toward the floor. The stroller is fully folded when the locking fold latch is secured over the "T" post on the right side.
Unfolding: Place the stroller on the ground with all three wheels touching. Release the locking folding latch on the right side. Lift the stroller handle with both hands until the frame is in a fully opened and locked position. Ensure both side handle latches are fully engaged and locked before placing a child in the stroller.
Warning: Exercise care during folding and unfolding to prevent finger entrapment.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning: Use a mild household soap with warm water on a sponge or clean cloth.
Regular Checks: Periodically inspect for loose screws, worn parts, torn material, or stitching. Replace or repair parts as needed.
Discontinuation of Use: Discontinue use if the stroller becomes damaged or malfunctions. Contact customer service for repair or replacement parts.
Flat Tires: The bicycle air tires can go flat. Inflate them to 25 psi using a standard bicycle hand air pump. Flat tire repair can also be done at a bicycle shop.
