Gemini 40 and 45: 
GEMINI 40 and 45 stroller design also provides an angle adjustment of the seat frame.

 

  

 

To adjust the angle of the seat use instructions below: 
1.  Pull the plunger   just below the seat frame. 
2.  Move the seat frame until the desired inclination (6 
 

different positions in steps of 10 mm).  

3.  Loosen the plunger   until it clicks automatically in 
 

position. 

4.  Check that the plunger   is well fixated. 

 
 
 

A wide range in adjustments allows the Gemini to be positioned in many ways. From an 
almost vertical position (ideal for revalidation) till a laying position. By tightening the 
adjustment bars, the full seating part will be unmovable.

L

L

L

   CAUTION: 

Risk of injury -

 

Check all connections, screws are secured before 

 

using the Gemini. 

 
The Gemini stands for comfort when it comes to removing or switching positions of the 
seating element. As such, you can push the Gemini with your child facing forward or facing 
towards you. 

 

 

The seat element will be disassembled as follows: 

  Use the brakes to make the Gemini unmovable. 

  Unlock the two clamps in the rear part. 

  Slide the full element backwards and pull vertically upwards while holding on to the side 

supports.
