Unpacking your Buggy
Put the sling (main seat) on
Newborn wings
- also refer to Newborn section.
Doubles fitting
- also refer to Double section.
Toddler sling:
On arrival the sling is
attached to the frame by
1. 2 anti-fly straps located under either side of the sling. The straps
are attached using a ladder buckle between the brake and the
double seat fitting on the side of the frame.
2. 1 strap attached to the H frame located under the front flap. This
also allows adjustment for the crotch strap as the child grows.
Tighten anti-fly straps. Raise sling and fasten snap fastener near
the top to the matching snap fastener on each side of the frame.
For the higher handle height use the
low
snap; for the lower
handle height, use the
middle
snap.
Do not use the top snap!
Encircle the frame by zipping each side. Move the zip slider down
the frame. Loop the foot strap over the footplate. The padded
back-flap lies on the sling, as a head rest in the toddler position.
Put the bacpac on
For the Toddler Fitting
. Ensure the straps with swivel hooks are at the
top of the handle, either side of the rubber grip. Clip the swivel hooks
onto the D rings at the top of the bacpac. Disconnect the bottom
bacpac straps and loop around the side struts on the frame before
reattaching to bottom of the bacpac.
For Newborn and Sibling Fitting
. Slide the swivel hooks down the han-
dle (before attaching sling). Rest bacpac on the footplate and attach
swivel hooks to the top D rings on bacpac.
For Two Toddlers.
For two toddlers or as required bacpac can be carried
on your back using shoulder straps.
Put the sun hood on
Lean sun hood forward (more than regular position. Insert each
end of the sun hood wire into the eyelet and hole in the frame, on
each side of the sling. (Note the frame hole is slotted and the wire
crimped.) This stops unwanted release. Secure the snap fasteners
on hood to sling (below eyelet) and to frame (above sling).
IMPORTANT: For low handle height setting (L) use the top snap
fastener; for high handle height (H) setting use the middle snap.

Fabric care and cleaning
The fabric is backed with a waterproof coating. Brush off dirt. More intense cleaning can be done by
hand, in warm water, using a mild natural soap. Rinse out soap. Do not use detergents or bleach.
Air dry. The fabric is fade resistant but
not
fade proof; exposure to direct sunlight can fade the
fabric.
Frame care and cleaning
We recommend that dirt is brushed off the frame and wheels regularly. Clean with a non-abrasive
household cleaner and soft cloth. Wash sand and salt from Kiwi Explorer Buggy
TM
after beach activ-
ity. Always dry frame after becoming wet. Paint chips can be repaired with a touch up kit.
Sun hood
The sun hood support wire is supple and can be bent to shape. Force the two ends together to re-
tension this wire to reshape.
Parcel tray
This is secured with 6 velcro straps. The base is flexible, so will bend with the folded buggy. Do not
overload the parcel tray. A maximum of 3kg/7lbs.
Tyres
The tyres have an inflatable inner tube and car-size valve. Releasing air gives a softer ride, but less
than 15psi reduces brake effectiveness. We recommend 20 - 22 psi. New inner tubes and tyres are
generally available (21/2 x 12 1/2 inch tire) from cycle or specialist wheel shops. Standard bicycle
tire kits will repair most punctures which can occur. Note that a flat tire can result from grit holding
the valve open; to check, inflate tire, deflate rapidly, and re-inflate.
Rubber hand-grip
The rubber hand grip is soft and not under warranty. Take care when stowing your buggy to avoid
damage. To replace the grip: depress the nib springs, pull handle top from frame. Slide on a new
grip, using soapy water for lubrication. Slide handle top back onto frame until the nib springs en-
gage. Reset handle height. Ensure both nib spring buttons ‘pop’.
Routine inspection and maintenance
Moving parts may need periodic lubrication. Inspect essential components for fraying (webbing
straps and safety harness), wear (auto-locks, snap fasteners, button springs, tyres and moving
parts) and freedom of movement. Excessive wear can reduce effectiveness and safety.
Shop alarms
On rare occasions shop alarms may be activated by your Kiwi Explorer Buggy
TM
.
If this happens to you a lot, please contact your dealer for an anti-alarm kit.
Any load attached to the handle affects the stability of the vehicle.
Do not hang luggage or carry extra children on Kiwi Explorer Buggy
TM
.
Do not allow a child to stand on the seat. Do not carry bags other than
these instructions allow.
Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use the safety harness.
Apply wheel brakes when parking the buggy or when loading
or unloading children.
