Folding and Unfolding
Before you go
• Check that no components are damaged.
•
Ensure that all locks engage before use.
Put on the wheels
1 Attach the rear wheels by sliding each axle through the axle
tubes. Depress the ‘nib spring’ on each wheel.
2 Make sure the button of the spring pops out once pushed
through. These hold the wheels in place. Remove wheels as
required.
Set up from folded position
1. Stand the buggy upright on the handle, pull the front wheel out
and up. Set all three buggy wheels on the ground.
2. Extend the front wheel fully until the side auto-lock (A) clicks
into place. This locks the front and rear sections of the frame
together.
Make sure it clicks!
The lock pin must extend fully.
3. Apply brakes.
4. Lift the handle upwards, as far as it can go, until the auto-locks
(B) on
both
sides of the front section of frame click into the holes
on each end of the handle.
5. Check that both locks extend fully through both holes, so that the
handle is locked in place, parallel with the front frame section.
6. Loop the footplate strap at the bottom front of the fabric sling
over the footplate.
To fold the buggy -
reverse the procedure above.
Auto-locks on
handle section are tight.
To release, push down with palm of hands
on the frame directly above the auto-locks (B) releasing the auto-
locks with thumb and forefinger. Release 3rd auto-lock (A). Fold
frame. Ensure swivel-lock is off. Attach the snap fastener on the wrist
strap to the footplate to hold buggy folded.
Make sure children are clear of the Kiwi Explorer Buggy
TM
before
folding, erecting or adjusting the buggy.
A baby is generally comfortable in the newborn position for 3 - 4
months. The newborn wings zip onto the main (toddler) sling.
• Remove the sun hood by popping the snap fasteners and
carefully removing the sun hood wire from its holes.
• With the buggy set up ready to go, apply the brakes.
• Unzip each side of the main sling and disconnect the snap
fasteners near the top, so that the sling falls away from the
frame. Note which snap fastener on the frame was used.
• Attach the newborn wings. There is a left and a right wing.
The longer part of each wing must hang inside the frame, with
the narrow end of each wing pointing to the front of the buggy.
The parallel zips must face out (refer diagram).
• Fasten the snap fastener near the top of each wing to the
snap fastener on each side of the frame. Use the one the sling
was attached to.
• Encircle the frame on each side by zipping up each wing,
moving the zip slider down the frame.
• Join the main sling to the wings by zipping the top zip on the
side of the sling to the half zip on the inside bottom of each
wing. This forms the newborn position.
• The padded back-flap is secured upright to each side of the
sling using the velcro
and
the snap fasteners.
• Attach the clear plastic back (as required). Note that different
snap positions are used for sibling and newborn positions.
• Use mattress supplied. Guide safety harness around the mat-
tress and use in the usual way.
• Attach the sun hood.
• Zip or velcro the top of the plastic back to the rear of the sun
hood.
