handle pulling it in an upward direction (diag. 26 B).
WARNING: Before using the stroller with the “joined handle”,

WARNING: To close the stroller, it is always necessary to
remove the joinable handle.
WARNING: Never use the joinable handle to lift the stroller

SAFETY BRAKE
The safety brake locks both of the rear wheels of the stroller
at the same time.
To ensure maximum functionality during use, the stroller has
a STOP & GO braking system marked by specifi c coloured
labels located on the rear braking levers.

in a downward direction (diag. 27). The red STOP label will
appear automatically and the left lever will move upwards.
28. To release the brake, press the left lever in a downward
direction (diag. 28). The green GO label will appear
automatically and the right lever will move upwards.
WARNING: Always apply the brakes whenever the stroller is
stationary. Never leave the stroller on a sloped surface, with
a child on board, even with the brakes applied.
SWIVEL WHEELS
The stroller has front swivel or fi xed wheels. It is recommended
to use the wheels in the fi xed mode when manoeuvring
the stroller on particularly uneven surfaces. The use of the
wheels in the swivel mode is recommended to increase the
manoeuvrability of the stroller on a normal road surface.
29. To use the front wheels in the swivel mode, push the front
lever in a downward direction with your foot, as shown in
diagram 29. To use the front wheels in the fi xed mode, raise
the lever with the foot: the wheel will lock in the straight
position regardless of its previous position.
WARNING: Both wheels must always be locked or unlocked
at the same time.
CLOSING THE STROLLER
WARNING: When closing the stroller, ensure that your child,
or other children, are kept at a safe distance. Ensure that
during these operations the moveable parts of the stroller do
not come into contact with your child.
The stroller can be closed with the seat both in the FORWARD
FACING and in the REAR FACING position. The instructions
to be followed are the same for both positions. However, to
make the frame ultra compact when the stroller is closed, it is
recommended to close the stroller with the seat fi tted in the
FORWARD FACING position.
30. Raise the calliper shaped mechanisms on the sides of the
hood and fold the hood (diag. 30).

unlock the rear locking mechanism, pushing it in an upward
direction with the tip of the foot (diag. 31).

until the stroller is completely closed and locked (diag. 32).
33. To make the stroller more compact when closed, recline
the backrest to the horizontal position (diag. 33).

When the stroller is closed and locked, it stands upright on
its own.
