Valco Baby Tri-mode EX - Manual (Page 4)

NOTE : Before using your stroller, be sure to attach the tether straps around the stroller frame by feeding the strap through
the slit in the steel buckle. While not essential for safety, these help reduce the motion of the seat within the stroller frame.
Adjusting your seat – zip/belt System
(selected units)
In addition to the 4 adjustment
positions using the zip system, your
stroller has an additional 5
th position
which raises the seat to an even more
upright sitting position.
1. With all zippers fully closed, lift
the seat back further upward
with your hand.
2. Secure the seat with the two
sets of straps (one at the top
and one at the bottom of the
seat back), inserting each
buckle into the corresponding
buckle housing in the matching
strap.
Your seat can be adjusted to 4 positions
using the zip system
1. To recline, pull one of the zippers
located on the seat side downward.
2. Do the same to the corresponding
zipper on the other side of the seat
3. For more recline, release more
zippered sections.
4. For seat incline simply reverse this
procedure.
BE SURE THAT ALL ZIPPERS ARE
OPENED/CLOSED FULLY BEFORE USE.
3. Press down on the side locking
hinges (on the basket) to lock
the frame in the open position.
4. Secure the handle to the
frame by engaging the locking
clamps on both sides.
NOTE: Special care must be taken
when adjusting the seat position with
a child in the stroller. Before adjusting
the zippers, place your hand beneath
the seat at its current position and lift
it slightly. This will relieve pressure on
the zippers and make them easier to
adjust.

3. Slide the hood housing downward,
over the track, so that it
completely engages onto the
