NEVER jog with a newborn baby in any pram or stroller until the child can sit up 

unassisted (approximately 6 months). 

 

ALWAYS ensure that the child is clear of all moving parts when adjusting the stroller. 

 

ALWAYS  beware of little fingers when folding or unfolding your stroller to prevent finger 

entrapments.  

 

ALWAYS engage the brake system when the stroller is at rest. 

 

NEVER leave any child unattended in the stroller. 

 

NEVER use on escalators or stairs.

Caring for your stroller 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Moving parts may be lubricated with silicone based lubricants – do not use oil. 

Regularly check wheels for loose spokes – tighten as necessary.  
 
Your Runabout chassis is made of aluminium alloy but does include some metal parts. Special 
care must always be taken to avoid rust. If this pram is used near the ocean or salty air 
environments, spray the chassis and seat frame with water and dry thoroughly. This is 

particularly important for parts such as wheel spokes and springs. We recommend rust 

inhibiting product should be applied to prevent accelerated rust and fatigue of these metal parts! 

 
 
 
 

We recommend that you wipe down axles and lubricate the wheels every 3 months, 
particularly the front wheel and housing. Sand and dirt can grind down axles so, if you 
live, walk or run near/on the beach or in a dusty environment, you must remove and 

wipe down the axles and wheels, then lubricate them MONTHLY. 

 
 
 
 
 

AXLES AND MOVING PARTS ARE BEST LUBRICATED WITH SILICONE BASED 

PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OIL BASED PRODUCTS.
