The buggy is not intended to be a substitute baby cot or bed. It is only designed to enable safe transportation of children.
Always take your child out of the buggy when on stairs.

child is in the buggy. Always adjust the straps to suit the size of your child’s body and to fit it firmly. A loose restraint or harness is DANGEROUS.

Caring for your stroller
Important information
We recommend storing your buggy indoors to avoid corrosion.
We recommend regular inspection and maintenance of locking
devices and security of essential components.
Regularly check all parts for wear and tear. Lubricate if tight
with a silicone based product. Do not use spray petroleum lubricants such as ‘CRC’.
The fabric is washable. To clean the liner, we recommend
sponging with warm soapy water and a mild detergent. A mild disinfectant may be used if desired.
NEVER tumble dry.
NEVER clean with abrasive, ammonia-based, bleach-based or
spirit-based cleaners.
If the wheels become damaged or worn, discontinue use and
replace.
Avoid sun exposure for long periods to prevent fading and
damage to the fabric.
Avoid submersing the product in salt water. If you do expose
it to salt water, ensure you wash the frame (particularly moving parts) in cold fresh water.
NEVER wring any fabrics.
Dry thoroughly before storage.
Store in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight which
could damage or fade your car seat.
Store in a safe place when it is not being used. Avoid placing
heavy objects on top of it.
NEVER allow the seat to come into contact with corrosive
substances such as battery acid or petroleum products.
