Function Description
The Kensington pram serves as a traditional baby carriage, providing a secure and comfortable environment for infants. It consists of a chassis, a pram body, wheels, a shopping tray, a hood, an apron, a liner, and a mattress with a cover. The chassis provides the structural support and mobility, while the pram body offers a protective enclosure for the baby. The wheels allow for easy movement, and the brake system ensures the pram remains stationary when needed. The hood and apron provide protection from the elements, and the liner and mattress ensure comfort for the child.

Usage Features
Assembly and Setup:
The pram comes in two boxes: one for the chassis and wheels, and another for the body.
- Fitting the Wheels:
- Ensure the brake is in the off position by lifting the brake pedal upwards. Never push it downwards or force it, as this can snap the brake.
- Tilt the chassis onto its side. The smaller wheels fit at the front, and the larger wheels fit at the rear.
- To attach a wheel, pull the metal tab on the wheel out towards the tyre and slide the wheel onto the axle. Repeat for all wheels.
- Unfolding the Chassis:
- Stand the chassis on its wheels.
- Ensure the metal locking ring is clear of the secondary safety catch.
- Pull the handle upwards towards you.
- The secondary safety catch will automatically engage.
- Slide the metal locking rings down the handle to securely erect the chassis.
- Attaching the Pram Body:
- Never attempt to attach the body with the child inside. It is recommended that two people lift the pram into position.
- Before attaching, apply the brake.
- Check that metal body locks are in the unlocked position.
- Lift the body by the lifting handles.
- Lower the body gently and carefully onto the chassis, ensuring it locates into the metal body locks on both sides.
- Lock the metal clips by lifting them up and then pushing downwards. Always check both sides are securely fastened.
- Attaching the Shopping Tray:
- Hold the tray between the two 'C' frames, evenly positioned between the 'U' brackets.
- Lower onto the 'C' frame and click into place.
- Note: Do not place items or shopping bags in the pram unit as it will cause it to become unstable.
- Fitting the Hood and Apron:
- Hood: Lift the hood into position and push down on the levers on both sides to secure it in place.
- Apron: Fit the apron around the contour of the pram body and fasten the press studs on either side. To hold the storm flap in place, loop the metal fastener over the nut on either side of the hood. The apron can be used in conjunction with the liner.
- Using the Liner and Mattress:
- Ensure the hood is in the up position.
- Ensure the liner is the correct way up with the elasticated corners at the bottom of the pram body.
- Secure the press studs halfway up the liner to the press studs near the wing nut on both sides.
- Secure the press studs attached to the elastic on the liner to the press studs built into the pram body on top of the back ledge.
- The D-rings are accessible through the holes of the liner.
- The mattress can be used with or without the liner. If using the mattress with the liner, ensure the liner is in place first.
- The support board "A" may be fixed in either a flat or angled position. Always check that the support board is placed firmly against the stops "B".
- Ensure the head rest part of the mattress is nearest the hood.
Operation:
- Using the Brake:
- To operate the brake, push down on the pedal with your foot.
- To release the brake, lift up the pedal with your foot.
- Always apply the brake when the pram is stationary.

- Release the catch on either side of the pram.
- Lift the body gently by the lifting handles, clear of the chassis.
