Caring for your pram
Moving parts may be lubricated with silicone based lubricants – do not use oil.
Regularly check wheels for loose spokes – tighten as necessary.
Your Runabout chassis is made of aluminium alloy but does include some metal parts. Special care must
always be taken to avoid rust. If this pram is used near the ocean or salty air environments, spray the
chassis and seat frame with water and dry thoroughly. This is particularly important for parts such as wheel
spokes and springs. We recommend rust inhibiting product should be applied to prevent accelerated rust
and fatigue of these metal parts!
We recommend that you wipe down axles and lubricate the wheels every 3 months, particularly the front
wheel and housing. Sand and dirt can grind down axles so, if you live, walk or run near/on the beach or in a
dusty environment, you must remove and wipe down the axles and wheels, then lubricate them MONTHLY.
Washing Instructions
The removable lining and mattress can be COLD hand or machine washed using a very mild detergent
(and a gentle cycle for machine wash).Remember to only wash with like colours. Drip dry – do not
tumble dry!
