Strolling with your child presents inherent safety risks. However, proper
use of the Stroller reduces the risk of injury to yourself, your child and
others. This instruction manual guides you in detail about the proper
use of your Stroller’s features. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these
instructions before using the Stroller, and also the instruction manuals
for any accessories or seats being used with your Stroller.
The following safe practices also help ensure your child’s safety:
1. Properly assemble your Stroller and check the set-up every
time before use.
Before the fi rst use of your Stroller, assemble the
wheels to the Stroller frame and check that they are fi rmly attached.
Before every use, check that the frame is fully open and latched. You
should also check that the tires are properly infl ated each time. The
“Get Rolling” section of this instruction manual provides detailed
instructions for the assembly and set-up of your Stroller.
2. Properly dock your Orbit Seat to the Stroller to avoid injury
from falling or tipping. Read the section “Using an Orbit Seat” for
detailed instructions about properly docking Orbit products. Also
read the instruction manuals provided with each of those products.
3. Properly secure your child into the Orbit Seat to avoid injury
from falling or sliding out. Your child should only ride in the Stroller
when properly seated in an Orbit Seat approved for their weight and
height. The Stroller is not intended to carry passengers in any other
manner. The instruction manual for your Orbit Seat provides detailed
instructions about securing your child properly with that product’s
Restraint Harness.
While securing your child properly helps reduce the risk of injury, you
should never leave your child unattended. Always keep your child in
view while he or she is in the Stroller.
4. Use your Stroller in a manner that allows you to always be in
control of its movement. The mobility of a stroller can also result
in unpredictable movement, resulting in injury to you, your child or
others. To reduce the risk of injury:
Keep your Stroller balanced and stable.
Uneven terrain
and steep inclines can affect the stability of your Stroller.
Misuses that can cause your Stroller to tip include hanging
bags or other items from the Handles or Water Bottle Tray.
Never allow children to play with or hang onto the Stroller.
Always use both Parking Brakes when your Stroller is
stopped.
Getting into the habit of engaging both Parking
Brakes every time you stop helps prevent unexpected Stroller
