• Release the locking latch located on the right side by lifting the lever off of the

extended rivet. See Figure 2.

platform and pull up and back on the handle until both side frame bars snap into
their locking positions in the frame.

CAUTION: While unfolding the stroller be careful to keep your ngers from being

pinched by moving parts.

WARNING

ALWAYS secure the safety latch on the side of the stroller when it is in the

unfolded use position. This will prevent collapse of the stroller should the

handle trigger locks be accidentally opened.

Installing the Rear Wheels

• Turn stroller upside down, on a clean surface, so that it rests on the handlebar.

• Insert one end of the rear wheel axle through a rear axle hole in the plastic bracket

under the stand-on platform.

• Push the axle across and into the axle hole on the other side of the stroller. Note,

you may need to guide the axle into this hole. Slide washers over each end of the
axle. See Figure 4.

• Place one rear wheel over one end of the axle. See Figure 5. NOTE: The brake

teeth on the wheel should be facing inward toward the red brake lever AND the
arrow shapes on the tire tread should point toward the handlebar.

• Slide an additional washer over the end of the axle.

• Take one snap pin and insert the straight leg into the small hole in the axle. Push it

rmly into this hole until the round portion of the other leg snaps completely around

the outside of the axle. See Figure 6.
