phil&teds escape v2 2009 - Manual (Page 6)

r Tighten each of the carrier side straps to
pull the child closer toward the adult harness,
keeping them snug.
s Lastly place the child’s feet in the ‘kiddie-up’
foot stirrups (these will be hanging off each
side of the carrier). Stretch the elastic strips
behind each foot, & ensure the stirrup leg
lengths are even.
Note There is a length adjustment buckle
located in the center of the strap.
Hey presto!
Note Never leave your child alone in the
escape. Clever it is, but a nanny it’s not!
step 4: get hooded up! …
rain, hail or shine!
t Locate your hood & visor inside the internal
compartment of the main carrier pocket.
Take the hood & visor out of the storage bag,
being mindful of young eyes as the hood
springs open. Return the storage bag to
the carrier pocket for safe keeping.
u Locate the two red fabric slots at either side
of the top of the carrier. Take the two black
rods of the hood & insert one into each of
the red slots.
v Clip each hanging black strap hook from
the hood into each corresponding elastic
loop above the adult harness.
w For extra weather protection attach the
plastic visor. To do so:
lift up the front flap of
the hood to expose the wire and do up the 5
toggles located on the underside of the hood.
Note The visor should sit on the outside of
the black straps.
When not in use, disassemble the visor &
hood by reversing this process. Make certain
the hood & visor are dry before packing away.
x To collapse the hood ready for flat packing
into its storage bag: stand with the black
hood rods facing your belly and the hood
interior facing towards you. Cross one black
rod over the other. Then hold it in one hand,
maintaining this position.
y Pull the top hood wire toward you and twist
your wrist encouraging the top wire to twist
and lie down on itself.
z The whole hood should form a flat folded
parcel. Manoeuvre the hood in this folded
position, back into the storage bag with
the folded visor.
