1.2 MANUAL HANDLING TECHNIQUES
11
The SMART lifting technique
This technique can be used to pick up small light loads from low levels.
Size up the Load
• Assess the load (size, shape and weight).
• Assess whether the load needs to be moved;
• Where is it going to be placed” Check that there are no obstructions;
• Assess whether mechanical or human assistance is required.
Move the Load as close to the body as possible
• A load is heavier to lift or carry if it is not close to the body.
• The whole hand should be used to ensure a firm grip.
Always bend your knees
• Maintain balance.
• Keep feet apart and in a comfortable position.
• Minimise lower back bending.
• Bend knees preferable at as large an angle as possible but not at a right angle use a semi squat in preference to a full squat.
Raise the load with your legs
• Achieve the lift smoothly and without jerkiness.
• Maintain the normal curvature of the spine to allow the force of the load to be
distributed evenly from the spine to the pelvis.
Turn your feet in the direction that you want to move the load.
• Avoid unnecessary bending, twisting and reaching.
• Change direction by turning your feet and not your back.
• To set the load down, squat down, keep your head up and let
• Let your legs do the work.
Remember to ‘THINK TALL’ chest lifted, shoulders relaxed, chin tucked in and
head level.

PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 11 FOR LIFTING TECHNIQUES.
• Always ensure you bend your knees where appropriate and take
due care when lifting the frame.
• With your hand through the wrist tether strap loop, push the
stroller holding the handle.
• The stroller can be steered in the desired direction - allowing the
front wheels to swivel will make this easier.
• The front wheels may wobble or oscillate when walking fast.
Locking the front swivel wheels will stop this.
• The stroller can be taken up kerbs by either pressing down on the
handles and raising the front wheels or turning the stroller around
and pulling the stroller up the kerb.
• Caution is required when pushing the stroller on a steep slope as
the stroller may become unstable. Always hold the handles firmly.
• Do not run with the stroller.
• Whenever you stop, always apply the brakes before you leave the
stroller.
• Do not hang bags or goods from the handle. Use the storage basket.
Page 36
1.28 TO FOLD/CLOSE THE STROLLER

• Remove the bassinet or infant carrier if connected to the frame prior to folding.
• The second seat can either be removed or folded up prior to folding.
• The rain cover must also be removed if fitted.
NOTE: Stroller seat and wheels can be removed to reduce the total folded
size.
See sections 1.6 & 1.14 for reference. With stroller seat attached, folding
the leg support will also help to reduce the folded size.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 11 FOR LIFTING TECHNIQUES.
• REMOVE THE CHILD FROM THE STROLLER BEFORE COMMENCING
ANY FOLDING OPERATION.
• FOLD THE STROLLER SLOWLY AND BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU PLACE
YOUR HANDS.
• WHEN FOLDING THE STROLLER, BE AWARE OF THE DANGER OF BEING
INJURED BY MOVING PARTS AND LOCKING DEVICES DURING THE
PROCESS. KEEP ALL HANDS AND LIMBS CLEAR OF THESE PARTS.
• THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR FINGERS OR PARTS OF THE BODY TO BE
INJURED WHEN THE STROLLER IS BEING FOLDED, DUE CARE SHOULD BE
EXERCISED.
• KEEP CHILDREN CLEAR OF THE STROLLER DURING FOLDING OF THE
STROLLER.
FOLDING TIPS

STROLLER FOLDING CONFIGURATIONS
Stroller frame only Stroller seat
Stroller frame
+ Second seat
Stroller frame + seat
+ Second seat
Second seat
The following are recommended configurations for storage and transportation in a vehicle.
Shown with second seat (optional accessory, sold separately).
Note: The easiest method is to remove the top seat and optional accessories from the
stroller frame and place the accessories and stroller frame into the vehicle separately.
Note: The stroller pivotal handle is required to be place into the regular or
highest lockable position (see section 1.10).
This will prevent the handle from coming into contact with the second seat
and causing damage to the stroller.
If the tension is to hard DO NOT force, re-open the stroller and ensure the
stroller pivotal handle is set to the highest point.
CAUTION: The stroller can be folded with the top seat and
seat attached to the stroller frame, however, caution must be taken when
lifting the stroller because of the overall weight.
PLEASE REFER TO PAGE 11 FOR LIFTING TECHNIQUES.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• To prolong the life of your stroller keep it clean and do not leave it in the direct sunlight or in
the car boot for extended periods of time.
• Removable fabric covers and trims may be cleaned using warm water with a household
soap or mild detergent. Allow it to dry fully, preferably away from the direct sunlight.
.
• Non removable fabric covers and trims may be spot cleaned using a damp sponge with
soap or a mild detergent. Allow it to dry completely before folding or storing it away.
• In some climates the covers and trims may be affected by mould and mildew. To help
prevent this occurring, do not fold or store the product if it is damp or wet. Always store
the product in a well ventilated area.
• When using your stroller at the beach - completely clean your stroller afterwards to remove
the sand and salt from the mechanisms and wheel assembly. Sand and salt will cause
premature wear and corrosion.
• If there are compression marks on the tyres - Use a domestic hair dryer to gently warm
(DO NOT OVERHEAT) the tyre and the compression marks should slowly disappear.
• Always check parts regularly for tightness of screws, nuts, and other fasteners - tighten if
required. To maintain the safety of your nursery product, seek prompt repairs for bent, torn,
worn or broken parts.
