AGE RECOMMENDATIONS
BOB recommends that your child should be at least 8 weeks old before riding in a BOB stroller without a BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter and compatible infant car seat. Please note that babies incapable of holding their head up must have additional head and neck support to ride safely and comfortably. For jogging or off­road stroller use, children should be at least 8 months old.
With the addition of the BOB Infant Car Seat Adapter and compatible infant car seat, newborns may be able to ride in the stroller. Children develop at different rates. Prior to first use, consult with your pediatrician regarding suitability of stroller use with your child.
Please refer to the below table for age/use guidelines:

STROLLER ASSEMBLY
UNPACK STROLLER
Remove stroller and wheels from box. Front wheel is stowed in folded stroller.
Remove all packaging materials and discard to avoid choking and suffocation hazards.
WHEELS
Before attempting to install wheels, read and understand warnings and instructions completely.
Using your stroller with an improperly adjusted wheel quick release can allow the wheel to vibrate, wobble or become detached from the stroller. This can result in serious injury or death. Accordingly, it is critical that you:
• Ask your dealer to instruct you
on the proper technique for safely installing and removing your wheels.
• Understand and use the proper
method for securely clamping a wheel to the stroller using a quick release.
• Check to make sure the wheels
are securely clamped before each use of the stroller.
The wheel quick release is a cam device that supplies the clamping force required to hold the stroller wheel securely in place. To safely secure a wheel to the stroller, it is critical that you understand how the quick release works, how to use and adjust it properly and the amount of force necessary to safely secure the wheel.
The quick release is a cam device and must be used correctly to supply the necessary clamping force to safely hold the wheel in place. It is not a wing nut system and turning the lever while holding the tension adjusting nut does not supply the required force to safely clamp the wheel in the dropouts.
7
OMB15/B
ADJUST QUICK RELEASE
The rear wheels are correctly clamped in place by the force generated when the quick release lever is closed and the cam action pulls the axle against the dropout, securing it in place.
The front wheel is correctly clamped in place by the force generated when the quick release lever is closed and the cam action pulls the lever housing against one dropout, and pulls the adjusting nut against the other dropout, clamping the hub between the dropouts.
The tension adjusting nut sets the amount of clamping force. Turning the tension adjusting nut in the clockwise direction while preventing the quick release lever from rotating, increases the amount of clamping force. Alternatively, turning the tension adjusting nut counterclockwise, while preventing the quick release lever from rotating, reduces the amount of clamping force. The tension adjusting nut only needs minor adjustments to provide the correct clamping force, less than a half turn can mean the difference between safe and unsafe clamping force.
REAR WHEEL INSTALLATION
1. Unlock Parking Brake Prior to installing the rear wheels, position the parking brake in the unlocked position.
2. Rotate Quick Release Lever Rotate the quick release lever so it curves away from the dropout.
Quick Release Lever
3. Insert Rear Wheel Stub Axle
Insert the rear wheel’s stub axle into the hole in the rear dropout. If the axle does not slide in easily, loosen the quick release tension adjusting nut by hand. Re-insert the axle fully into the rear dropout until the axle shoulder or snap ring on the axle comes in contact with the dropout.

OMB15/B
To TIGHTEN tension adjusting nut, turn clockwise.
FULLY CLOSED
To properly close the quick release and secure the rear wheel in the dropouts, confirm the axle is fully inserted in the dropout, while maintaining the wheel in this position, rotate the quick release toward stroller and into the FULLY CLOSED position.
When properly closed, the curve of the quick release will be pointing toward the dropout and angled slightly toward the center of the stroller. To generate enough clamping force it is necessary to wrap your fingers around the dropout while closing the quick release lever. The proper force required to close the quick release lever should leave a visible imprint in the palm of your hand.
It takes considerable force to securely clamp the wheel. If you are able to completely close the quick release without wrapping your fingers around the dropout and the quick release lever does not leave a visible imprint in the palm of your hand, the tension is not adequate. Rotate the lever to the FULLY OPEN position and turn the tension adjusting nut a quarter turn clockwise and repeat the closing process.
If the quick release lever cannot be rotated to the FULLY CLOSED position, rotate the lever to the FULLY OPEN position and turn the tension adjusting nut a quarter turn counterclockwise. Repeat the closing process.
To LOOSEN tension adjusting nut, turn counterclockwise.
REMOVING REAR WHEEL
1. Unlock Parking Brake Prior to removing the rear wheels, position the parking brake in the unlocked position.
2. Open Quick Release Lever Move the wheel’s quick release lever from the locked or FULLY CLOSED position to the FULLY OPEN position.

FRONT WHEEL SECONDARY
RETENTION DEVICES
Your stroller fork utilizes secondary wheel retention devices designed to help keep the wheel from disengaging from the fork if the quick release is incorrectly adjusted and tightened. The wheel can still remain loose and wobbly even with the secondary retention device working if the quick release has not been properly tightened and adjusted. The secondary retention devices are backup systems and are not intended as a substitute for a properly adjusted quick release. The secondary retention devices on your stroller are the integral type that are formed into the outer faces of the fork dropouts.
The secondary retention devices serve as a backup for a critical adjustment. The secondary retention devices can reduce the risk of the wheel disengaging from the fork if the quick release is not adjusted and tightened correctly.
Secondary retention devices are not a substitute for correct quick release adjustment and tightening.
Using your stroller with an improperly adjusted and tightened wheel quick release can allow the wheel to vibrate, wobble or become detached from the stroller. This can result in serious injury or death.

ESTABLISH CORRECT FUNCTION
For the hand brake system to work correctly, it is critical that it be adjusted properly. With the braking system properly adjusted, the wheels should freely rotate when the brake lever is not engaged. To establish if the braking system is functioning correctly:
• Check to see if proper brake
force is applied when the brake lever is pulled to within 1/2” or more from the handlebar.
• Check to see if the brake force
is balanced (evenly applied), between both the right and left rear wheels.
1. Adjust Brake Force
If correct brake force is not applied when the brake lever is pulled to within 1/2” of the handle bar, then the brake cable will need to be tight­ened. To tighten the cable, loosen the lock ring on the brake lever and turn the barrel adjuster in a counter clockwise direction. Secure the barrel adjuster in the new position by tight­ening the lock ring against the brake lever body.
Lock Ring
Barrel Adjuster
If the rear wheels do not spin freely when the brake lever is in the re­leased position, then there is too much brake force and the brake cable will need to be loosened. To
loosen the cable, loosen lock ring and turn the barrel adjuster in a clockwise direction. Secure the barrel adjuster by tightening the lock ring against the brake.
Lock Ring
Barrel Adjuster
Continue these adjustments until proper braking force is established on at least one of the rear wheels.
2. Balance Brake Force
Identify the wheel that does not have enough brake force. Locate the drum brake barrel adjuster on that side. Tighten the brake cable (as in step one), until the brake force is equal to that of the opposite wheel.
NOTE: Adjustment of the drum brake barrel adjusters requires a wrench.
Lock Ring
Barrel Adjuster
NOTE: There are lock rings on all barrel adjusters to stop them from changing their position. Always make sure the lock rings are tightly fas­tened after making adjustments.
20
OMB15/B
NOTE: Ensure that all brake cable ends are properly located in the rel­evant hole of the barrel adjusters.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the gap between the barrel adjuster and the lock ring does not exceed 5 mm. If the gap exceeds 5 mm, there is a risk that the screw will shear with poten­tial loss of braking function.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Check tire pressure before every use.
CLEANING
The fabric has a stain resistant treatment that makes most cleanups easy. Use a sponge with a solution of mild soap and cold water (maximum temperature of 38 deg. C). Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove soap then air dry. Do not use detergent.
REGULAR INSPECTIONS
We recommend inspecting your stroller before every use. Verify tire pressure. Verify all screws, attachment points and fasteners are tight. Check all wheels to be sure they are securely clamped. Check for tears or excessive wear in the fabric.
STORAGE
It is best to store your stroller indoors when it is not in use. This will prolong its attractive appearance. Extended exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can fade and degrade the fabric, tires, and plastic parts.
CARGO
The stroller is equipped with two small seat pockets for your child, a seat back pocket and a low boy cargo basket under the stroller.
Adding weight to the seat back changes the center of gravity of the stroller, and increases the possibility that it might tip over backwards, resulting in injury. For this reason, loads in the seat back pocket should never exceed 1 kg and maximum weight capacity for low boy cargo basket is 4.5 kgs.
Although the seat back is padded, it is important to remember that this is what your child leans against.
Do not place sharp objects in the seat back pocket. Leaning against sharp objects in the seat back pocket can result in injury to occupant.
