Routine Maintenance
Trouble Shooting
Store in a cool and dry area, especially in the summer. To avoid damaging the stroller, NEVER place items on top
of stroller during storage.
Canopy, Restraint System, Permanently attached Seat Base, Cover and Basket:
Hand wash with brush. Wipe out excess water with a dry cloth and dry in a shaded area. For stubborn
dirt, dilute a mild detergent and apply directly to the dirty area. Wipe out the detergent.
Stroller Frame (Main Body)
Briskly wipe off any mud and dirt. Wipe with a damp cloth then wipe out any traces of moisture on the
frame with a dry cloth. If fabric is not dryed completely, mold or mildew could occur.
Excessive exposure to the sun could cause premature color fading of stroller plastic and fabric.
Wheel Assemblies:
After prolonged normal use, the wheels of your stroller may not swivel or turn as easily as when the
stroller was new. This is usually due to a buildup of dirt in the swivel mechanism. Before adding
lubrication, remove the swivel wheels by pressing in the release button and wiping off mud and dirt.
not use soap and water to wash wheels.
Periodically check that all screws, bolts and nuts are tight.
Avoid lubricating the swivel wheels whenever possible. Excessive lubrication or adding lubricant to
swivel wheels when new may cause them to develop a shimmy or wobble that may quicken their deterioration.
Add silicone* to the wheel assemblies in small amounts. NEVER use lubricants because oil attracts dust and
would hinder the movement rather than improve it.
*Silicone spray is available in varying size cans at most hardware stores.
Stroller will not fold:
- Ensure waist belt is not caught in the side.
- Make sure front swivels are locked.
- Remove all items from the basket.
Difficult to steer or Stroller pulls to one side:
- NEVER hang items from the handle.
- Make sure weight in basket is distributed evenly.
- Check that the brakes are not in the locked position.
- Clean and add silicone to wheels, if necessary.
Difficult to get up curbs:
- Pulling stroller backward makes going
up a curb difficult, and could pose a safety hazard.
Pull the handle up to lift the rear wheels
onto the curb, then pull the stroller backward
until the front wheels clear.
