3 Installing the Rear Wheel Axle
and Brake Set and Rear Wheels

• In a clean, dry place rest the stroller upside down with the rear
legs facing upwards.

• Locate the rear axle and brake set and slide it onto the rear legs
with the link brake facing the rear of the stroller. Be sure to slide
each side all the way on until the push pins are engaged in the
holes of the plastic.

the plastic into place. See Figure 3.1.

• Pull upward on each side of the rear axle to ensure it is installed
properly.

TO INSTALL A REAR WHEEL

• Locate a small washer and slide the washer onto the axle.

• Next place a rear wheel onto the axle over the small washer.

NOTE: The brake teeth on the wheel should be facing inward

toward the brake lever.

• Then place one large washer onto the axle over the wheel.

• Next slide a spring washer onto the axle.

• Take another large washer and slide it onto the axle.

• Push the washers in to expose the axle hole. Then 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.

NOTE: The snap pin is curved (concave) to make insertion

easier.

• Repeat the SAME installation sequence of washers, wheel, and
snap pin for the remaining wheel.

• Install a hubcap onto each wheel by aligning the 5 tabs on the
hubcap with the 5 slots in the wheel, and then pushing it into
place. Ensure that ALL 5 snaps have engaged securely and the
hubcap cannot be pulled off.

4 Rear Wheel Brakes

system.

• To engage the rear wheel brakes, push down on one of the
brake levers or the bar that connects the levers. See Figure 4.1.

order to line up the teeth on the brake with each wheel brake
cluster.

push the stroller backwards and forwards.

• To release the brakes, gently lift up on one of the brake levers or
the bar that connects the levers. See Figure 4.2.

housing and between the wheels. Be sure to lift the
locking tab all the way up until an audible click is heard.

7 Seatback Positioning

Each seatback can be adjusted to any position from fully
upright to reclining. These seats should only be used
for children who are at least 3 months old. For children
between 3 and 6 months, use the most reclined position.
For children 6 months and older, use the more upright
positions.

• Engage the rear wheel brakes.

• Locate the recline mechanism on the backside of the
seat.

• To recline a seat, grasp the buttons on the top and
bottom of the recline mechanism and gently pull
towards the rear of the stroller until the seat is in the
desired position. See Figure 7.1.

• To adjust a seatback to a more upright position, pull the
straps at the end of the recline mechanism rearward
while pushing the mechanism forward until the seatback
is in the desired position. See Figure 7.2.

NOTE: To get a seatback into its most upright position

you may need to push the seatback toward the front of
the stroller before pulling the straps.

WARNING

ALWAYS ensure that the seat back is secured into position before placing a child in the seat.

Push down on the seatback to be sure it is secure. NEVER adjust the seatback when the

child is in the seat. Use the more upright seatback positions ONLY for children who are at

least 6 months old.

8 Adjusting the Leg Supports

The leg support can be adjusted to two positions horizontal or all the way down.

• To place the leg support into the down position, locate the trigger mechanism underneath BOTH sides
of the leg support on the bottom. Squeeze BOTH triggers and rotate the leg support down.

See Figure 8.1.

NOTE: The leg support does not “lock” into the down position, but will remain there by gravity only.

• There are fabric aps that cover the triggers. If necessary, pull each ap over the trigger and attach

the Velcro® to secure it.

• To place the leg support into the horizontal position, pull up on both sides of the leg support until it is
locked into position. See Figure 8.2.

• Push down on both sides of the leg support to ensure it is secure.

Maintenance

All of the ttings, snaps, locks, rivets, and other hardware and plastic parts on the stroller should be
inspected periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not damaged or malfunctioning. The
safety harness, as well as all other straps and fabric items and their stitching should also be inspected
periodically to ensure that they are secured properly and not loose, torn or otherwise damaged. All
moving parts, such as wheels, brakes, and hinges should also be checked periodically to ensure they

are operating properly.

Any missing, broken, or worn components should be replaced immediately, and the stroller should not
be used until they are replaced. Only original manufacturer’s components should be used. If needed,
please contact Joovy at our toll-free phone number.

Cleaning

The fabric material on this stroller can be cleaned using mild household soap or detergent and warm
water on a sponge or clean cloth. Always allow the fabric to completely air dry before using the stroller.

The frame and wheels should always be kept clean and free of dirt and foreign matter, especially after
operating the stroller in rain, snow, or other harsh environments. Use a sponge or cloth dampened with
warm water and a mild detergent cleaner to clean the wheels after such use.
