READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE AND KEEP
THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
YOUR CHILD’S SAFETY MAY BE AFFECTED IF YOU DO NOT
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
WARNING:
• It may be dangerous to leave your child unattended.
• Any load attached to the handle affects the stability of the pushchair.
• This product is not suitable for running or skating.
• Always use the crotch strap in combination with the waist belt.
• Ensure that all the locking devices are engaged before use.
• This product is not suitable for running or skating.
• A child’s safety is your responsibility. Children should be harnessed in at all times
and should never be left unattended. The child should be clear of moving parts
while making adjustments. This vehicle requires regular maintenance by the user.
Overloading, incorrect folding and the use of non-approved accessories may damage
or break this vehicle. Read the instructions.
• This vehicle is intended for children from birth up to 15kg’s
(3 years approximately).
• Ensure that the harness is correctly adjusted, providing a snug fit around your child.
The pushchair is supplied with ‘D’ ring harness attachment points located on either
side at the base of the backrest for fitting a separate harness conforming to
BS 6684/BSEN 13210 if required.
• Always ensure the brakes are engaged when the pushchair is left unattended.
• Always manoeuvre your pushchair up and down kerbs and steps gently. Do not let
your pushchair drop. Carry it up stairs whenever possible.
• This pushchair is designed to carry up to 1 child only. Never allow additional children
to ride on the pushchair.
• Do not hang shopping from the handles. Do not use any replacement parts or
accessories e.g. child seats, raincovers, bag hooks, stand-on platforms, etc,
except those recommended or supplied by Mamas & Papas. The use of
non-approved replacement parts or accessories may damage, or break or make
your pushchair unsafe.
• Do not store your pushchair in a damp place.
• The basket supplied with your pushchair is designed to hold a maximum of 3kgs.
Excessive weight could damage the basket or impede the safe operation of
the pushchair.
• A pushchair has many moving parts, and surfaces which move against each other, over time these
surfaces can become dry or even attract dirt or dust. By simply cleaning your pushchair chassis on
a regular basis and lightly spraying the moving parts with a silicon spray your pushchair will fold
and push better for longer.
• Different environments can present different challenges to your pushchair, a visit to the beach
can increase salt corrosion to parts, but so too can a wet or snowy day, so again by cleaning and
lubricating your pushchair you can help fight the effects of the environment on your pushchair.
• When a pushchair is in use, with all its locking mechanisms in place, its a solid rigid item designed
for carrying your child. However, when folded its the exact opposite, impacts can knock it out of
alignment, or putting things on top of it could twist it out of shape, so we recommend taking a little
more care with it when folded for storage.
• Hanging bags on the handles of the pushchair not only creates a risk of tipping, but it can also
cause excessive and uneven wear, as weight here causes the chassis to twist as handles are not
designed to be a load bearing part.
• Just as with extra weight in the basket, or bags on handles, the use of a buggy-board reduces the
life of your product by increasing the weight on the product, but by also putting weight and strain
onto parts in a direction they were not designed to experience. Consequently use of these products
invalidates the warranty on pushchairs.
• Fabric care: All the Mamas & Papas pushchairs fabrics are shower resistant. Should your pushchair
become wet, do not fold the hood or apron when you take it inside. Always allow the fabrics to dry
naturally away from strong heat sources such as fires, radiators and out of direct sunlight.
• Whilst fabrics are carefully selected and tested, washing, wear and normal exposure to bright
sunlight may cause their colour to change.
• The exposed edges of fabrics are often the first to wear and fray, remember this when storing or
transporting your pushchair and accessories.
• Light soiling to the pushchair can be removed with a damp sponge and a mild detergent. The fabric
cover can be sponged clean using a mild detergent if necessary.
