- Operating Brakes: Press down firmly on the brake lever to apply. Press upwards to release. Always apply brakes when parking the stroller.
- Tether Strap: Whenever a child is in the stroller and brakes are not engaged, the large loop of the tether strap should be around the user's wrist to prevent the stroller from rolling away.
- Stroller Seat Direction: The seat can be world-facing or parent-facing. Press the seat release buttons on both sides, lift the seat, turn it around, align with the frame, and gently push down until a 'click' is heard. The seat and bassinet can be adjusted into 3 different positions.
- Adjusting Seat Position: The seat has 3 positions for each direction. To lower the seat, pull the lever on the top of the seat upwards, then position the seat to the desired recline. Ensure child's limbs are inside the seating area when adjusting the backrest.
- Using in Pram Mode (Lay-flat for newborns): Squeeze the adjuster clip and pull downwards to adjust the backrest to the lowest position, ensuring the seat runs in a straight angle along the seat frame. Unfasten the two support strap clips below the seat. With the support strap released, the seat interior folds out into the bassinet position. ONLY use the bassinet in parent-facing position. Recommended for newborns up to approximately 6 months or 9kg. Bassinet cannot stand alone, is not for prolonged or overnight sleeping, and should not be used once the child can sit up unaided.
- Securing Your Child: The 5-point harness can be adjusted by moving each strap's slider. To tighten or loosen, hold and lift the plastic adjuster. Slip one shoulder strap over each shoulder and position the crotch strap between the legs. Place buckle prong (D) on top of buckle prong (C) and insert into buckle housing (E) until it clicks. Repeat for the opposite side (F and G). Pull straps to ensure they are locked. To release, squeeze the top and bottom prongs together. Use the harness at all times.
- Adjusting Harness Height: The harness can be set at three heights (lower, upper, and middle slots). Undo the buckle and feed the shoulder straps through the chosen loop before securing the harness.
- Folding the Stroller: Before folding, fold the canopy back, adjust the seat backrest to an upright position, unlock the swivel wheels, and apply the rear brakes. Push and hold the button while simultaneously squeezing the handle button to release the lock. Push downwards on the handle to fold. The storage latch will automatically engage when fully folded. Ensure the seat is world-facing when folding.
