Care and Maintenance
Wheel Information:
For optimal traveling comfort and safety, use properly
inflated tires. The maximum allowed air pressure is written
on the tires. Excess pressure may cause accidents and injuries.
The wheel can be repaired or patched with commercial
bicycle patches or an appropriate puncture spray.
Parking the Stroller:
Please do not store your stroller for any length of time on
lightly colored flooring or carpeting. As with all rubber tires,
discoloration will occur on the floor finish or carpet pile.
Cleaning the Fabric:
To clean small stains, use a cloth dampened with clean
water and carefully clean the spot. Avoid brisk rubbing
(especially on dark fabrics). Except for the hood, all
removable fabric parts can be machine washed on gentle
cycle with cold water and a fine fabric detergent. Do not
bleach. Refer to care label attached to fabric parts before
washing.
Caring for the Stroller:
Regular care of the stroller’s metallic parts is necessary to
maintain the high quality look of your stroller. Clean the
ends of the axles and treat with a lightweight lubricant,
every four to six weeks.
Color Variations in the Fabrics:
In addition to the positive properties of our materials, such
as breathability, many fine fabrics are very sensitive to
intensive solar radiation. Avoid unnecessary exposure to full
sun and the fresh colors of your stroller will last longer.
