Routine Maintenance
STORE IN A COOL AND DRY AREA, especially in the summer. Do not store the stroller in the trunk of
a vehicle.
SEAT CUSHION
The seat cushion is machine washable. Set to gentle cycle using warm water and a mild detergent. Do
not use bleach. Lay seat cushion and canopy and car seat covers flat to dry in shaded area. Do not
machine dry. To prevent color fading, do not leave soaking for a long period. If the seat cushion is
frayed or unraveling, discontinue use and call Consumer Affairs for further instruction.
CANOPY, SEAT BELT, FIXED BASE SEAT, TRAVEL BAG, STROLLER PACK AND BASKET
Hand wash with a soft brush. Wipe out excess water with a dry cloth and dry in a shaded area. For
stubborn dirt, dilute a mild detergent then apply directly to the dirty area. Wipe out the detergent.
MAIN BODY
Briskly wipe off any mud and dirt. To clean the body, wipe with a damp cloth then wipe out any traces
of moisture on the body with a dry cloth. The main body might become moldy and musty if not wiped
dry. Excessive exposure to the sun could cause premature color fading of stroller plastic and fabric.
WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
After prolonged normal use, the wheels of your stroller may not swivel or turn as easily as when the
stroller was new. This is usually due to a buildup of dirt in the swivel mechanism. Before adding lubri-
cation, remove the swivel wheels by pressing the release button and wiping off mud and dirt. Do not
use soap and water to wash wheels. Periodically check that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
Avoid lubricating the swivel wheels whenever possible. Excessive lubrication or adding lubricant to
swivel wheels when new may cause them to develop a shimmy or wobble that may quicken their dete-
rioration. Add silicone* to the wheel assemblies in small amounts.
Do not use lubricants because oil attracts dust and
would hinder the movement rather than improve it.
*Silicone spray is available in varying size cans at most hardware stores.
Front Wheel
Rear Wheel Trouble Shooting
STROLLER WILL NOT FOLD
- Check to see that the attachment strap is not caught in the side.
- Make sure front swivels are locked.
- Remove all items from the basket.
- Make sure the seat back is in the upright position.
DIFFICULT TO STEER/STROLLER PULLS TO ONE SIDE
- Remove any items hanging from the handle.
- Make sure weight in basket is distributed evenly.
- Check that the brakes are not in the locked position.
- Clean and add silicone to wheels, if necessary.
DIFFICULT TO GET UP CURBS
- Pulling stroller backward makes going
up a curb difficult, and could pose a safety hazard.
Pull the handle up to lift the rear wheels
onto the curb, then pull the stroller backward
until the front wheel clears.
DIFFICULT TO GET DOWN CURBS
- Turn stroller around, bringing rear wheels toward the edge of the curb. Gently
lower rear wheels onto the surface below. Once the rear wheels have landed, guide
the front portion of the stroller, using the armrest as support.
