INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
3
•
WARNING: A CHILD’S SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
•
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED AT ANY TIME.
• Always ensure that your pushchair is fully erect and all locking clips are engaged. (Take particular
care if the PVC Raincover is fitted. Check that it is not entangled or preventing the locking
mechanism from functioning correctly).
• Your pushchair is supplied with a five-point body harness. Children should be harnessed in at all
times. Ensure that the harness is correctly adjusted, providing a snug fit around your child.
Adjustments can be made using the buckles on the shoulder, waist and crotch straps. Please refer
to the “Using & adjusting the harness” section in these instructions. The pushchair is supplied
with ‘D’ ring harness attachment points. These are located on either side at the base of the
backrest and are for fitting a separate harness conforming to BS 6684 if required.
• Always ensure the brakes are correctly engaged whenever the pushchair is left for any reason,
even if only for a short time on a flat surface. Check the brakes have engaged by rocking the
pushchair backwards and forwards.
• Care should be taken when using any PVC cover. Regularly check that your baby is comfortable
and not over heating. There are mesh ventilation panels on the sides of the cover. These are
essential to aid the flow of cool air around your baby. When it is not raining or the pushchair is
indoors always remove the raincover.
• Always ensure your child is clear of moving parts before you adjust the position of the backrest,
hood or canopy.
• When you adjust the angle of the backrest, always check the fit of the harness and adjust if
necessary.
• Always manoeuvre your pushchair up and down kerbs and steps gently. Do not let your pushchair
drop. Carry it up stairs whenever possible.
• Never allow additional children to ride on the pushchair at any time.
• Never overload your pushchair with additional goods.
• Do not hang shopping from the handles. Do not use any replacement parts or accessories e.g.
child seats, raincovers, stand-on platforms etc, except those recommended or supplied by
Mamas & Papas. The use of non-approved replacement parts or accessories may damage or make
your pushchair unsafe.
•
Never force your pushchair.
Adjustments and locks should be free and easy to operate. Incorrect
folding may damage the pushchair.
• Do not store your pushchair in a damp place. Always allow the fabric to dry naturally away from
direct heat.
• The basket supplied with your pushchair is designed to hold a maximum of 3kg. Excessive weight
could damage the basket or impede the safe operation of the pushchair.
• We recommend that you fit a Mamas & Papas Sun Canopy to shade your child from direct
sunlight. We recommend that this is used in conjunction with the appropriate sun protection
cream and clothing.
