6. Care instructions
To retain the safe function
• Regularly check all important parts for damage. Ensure the correct operation of all mechanical components.
• The pushchair can be damaged or destroyed by overloading, improper folding or use of unapproved accessories.
• Never use other spare parts or accessories than those supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
• Keep your nursery product clean.
• Do not allow the pushchair to remain wet for prolonged periods of time. If it does get wet, allow to dry unfolded at room temperature.
• Never place heavy objects on the hood.
• Do not carry more than 3 kg in the shopping basket.
Store the pushchair in a safe place when it is not in use:
• Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
• Do not store it near a direct heat source, e.g. radiators.
• Do not store it in direct sunlight. The cover may fade.
• Do not store the product folded in damp or wet climates. Always store it unfolded in a well ventilated area to avoid mildew.
This is how you can remedy minor defects yourself:
If the wheels squeak:
Þ Use a silicon based spray or light oil
ensuring it penetrates the wheel and axle assembly.
When using your pushchair at the beach:
Þ Completely clean your pushchair
afterwards to remove the sand and salt from the mechanisms and wheel assemblies.
If there are compressions on the tyres:
Þ Use a domestic hair dryer to gently
warm the tyre. The compression marks should slowly disappear. Caution! Do not overheat!
If fasteners become loose:
Þ Promptly tighten screws and nuts
using appropriate tools.
If parts become bent, torn or broken:
Þ Promptly exchange the parts. Use
only those parts and accessories approved by Britax.

7. 2-year warranty
For this car/bicycle child seat / pushchair we provide a 2-year warranty against manufacturing or material defects. The warranty period is effective from the day of purchase. As proof we ask that you fill out the Warranty Card and retain it for the whole term of the warranty period, together with the Transfer Check signed by you and your sales receipt.
In the case of a warranty claim, the Warranty Card must be returned together with the product. The Warranty covers only car/bicycle child seats / pushchair which have been handled properly and which have been sent to us in a clean condition.
The Warranty does not cover:
• natural signs of wear and damage resulting from excessive stress.
• damage resulting from inappropriate or improper use.
What is covered by the Warranty? Fabric: All our materials meet very
high requirements with regard to colour fastness when exposed to UV radiation. Nevertheless, all fabrics fade when exposed to UV radiation. This is not a material defect, but rather a normal sign of wear which is not covered by the Warranty.
Buckle: Buckle malfunction is often due to accumulations of dirt and dust which may stop it from working properly. If this happens, the buckle can be washed out. Please refer to your user instructions.
Please contact your retailer directly in the event of a warranty claim. He or she will give you the advice and support you need. When processing claims, product-specific depreciation rates will be applied. Please refer to our General Terms and Conditions which are available from your retailer.
Use, care and maintenance
The car/bicycle child seat / pushchair must be used in accordance with the user instructions. We would like to point out that it is extremely important that only Britax accessories and replacement parts are used.
