BEFORE YOU BEGIN:
Read all of this booklet before assembling and
operating your new stroller!
Have the children play alone while you enjoy a cup of tea and focus on this
important information regarding your new stroller.
WARNING:
Failure to read and follow the instructions
contained in these pages may result in
accidents and serious injury or death.
Jogging with a stroller is different!
USING A STROLLER
If you haven’t yet had
this experience, take
time to get the feel
of a stroller before
attempting to run while
also transporting a child.
STAY ON LEVEL GROUND —AND OFF THE SKATES!
JOGGING WITH A STROLLER
If you’ve never run with a stroller out
in front of you, familiarize yourself with
how it feels. Go for a practice run in a
relatively calm, traffic free area,
before a passenger is ever on board.
Next, load up to 45 lbs. of weight into
your stroller and take another practice
lap to gauge what it may feel like to
run with a passenger.
• NEVER use on steep grades, inclines or hills.
• NEVER use jogging stroller while roller-skating, roller-blading or biking.
You will probably have to alter
your jogging style to compensate
for increased length and weight
created by the stroller. Get a feel
for how you might perform under
different circumstances. This
way, you will be well prepared to
react in the safest most
responsible manner.
• NEVER allow the jogging stroller to be attached to– or pulled by dogs,
bicycles, automobiles, snowmobiles or other machines.
• This stroller is not equipped for use after dark, and we do not
recommend use of stroller after dark.
• Discontinue use of your stroller if it malfunctions or becomes damaged.

— IT ALL BEGINS WITH THE JOGGER —
USE GOOD JUDGEMENT: Jogging with a stroller requires physical strength and sound mental judgement.
JOGGER’S RESPONSIBILITIES:
• ALWAYS use seat harness to avoid serious
injury to child. An unrestrained child is
at risk of falling or sliding out of stroller.
• ALWAYS keep the safety strap attached
to your wrist while using the stroller.
• NEVER allow a child to stand in the stroller.
• ALWAYS set the rear brakes
when loading or unloading.
• NEVER leave a child unattended.
• DO NOT wear headphones
while jogging with a stroller.
• AVOID a busy road or highway that is
unsafe for a child. Run defensively and
don’t assume that you will be seen or
given the right of way by autos or bicycles.
• DO NOT allow a child or adolescent to
push the stroller. They do not have the
strength or good judgement to safely do so.
•• AVOID TIPPING OVER ••
Just like everything else affected by the pull of gravity, your stroller can and will
tip over in certain circumstances. Here are some tips to reduce that risk:
• Monitor children closely so they do not
stand up or lean out of the stroller as this
may cause the stroller to tip over.
• Monitor children to insure that all body
parts, clothes, toys and any other objects
are kept away from the wheels and other
moving parts.
• Slow down when turning and avoid sudden
swerves or directional changes.
• Do not strap bags or packages to handle; it affects the
balance and stability of the stroller and can cause it to
tip over backwards.
• Always cross tracks, curb cutouts and grooved road
surfaces at a 90-degree angle. Narrow angles when
crossing such obstacles could cause tip over resulting
in accident and injury.
• Not intended for off-road travel. Run on paved surfaces
only. Avoid curb hopping, potholes and any other road
obstructions as you run with your stroller.
Bouncing or rocking by passengers can

WARNING:
cause serious injury or death.
NIGHT RUNS:
Avoid jogging at night by planning your
run in the daylight hours.
PASSENGER SAFETY
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED IN THE STROLLER!
Avoid direct sunlight on the passengers.
Heat can build quickly in intensity and cause
serious injury. You can open or close the
canopy to help cool or warm your child but
always be aware of the wind chill factor and
the dangers posed by UV radiation.
Everyone
Needs
Water
H2O
It is important to keep yourself
and your passenger properly
hydrated at all times so bring
plenty of water and make it
easily accessible.
BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS —
In wet, rainy or slick conditions
observe the following safe handling procedures:
Your stopping distance will at least DOUBLE in wet or slippery
conditions.
Check your children frequently
Make sure the child is safe and
comfortable. Remember that the
environment inside the stroller is
not the same as it is for you. Be
aware of the wind chill factor on
small children.
Safety, comfort and well being
are essential on every one of
your runs; use common sense
and pay close attention to your
passenger’s needs as well.
Dress your passengers
Use the layering system
and bring some extra
clothing, a hat, and a
blanket just in case.
Never leave your child
exposed to the elements.
Jogging in adverse weather
conditions on roads that have
become wet or slippery can be
incredibly dangerous and
should be avoided whenever
possible. If you find yourself
out in such conditions, use
extreme caution because your
ability to control and stop a
stroller is greatly impaired.
NEVER CARRY MORE THAN TWO PASSENGERS!
This stroller is designed for two children. Do not attempt to carry more than two
children. Do not allow a third child to climb into or on the stroller at any time.
At frequent intervals, lightly apply the hand brake to clear the wheel
rim and brake pads of excess water buildup. Remember, in wet
conditions it can take two full revolutions of a wheel just to clear
away the water and begin to slow down.
Never pull the brake lever forcefully or suddenly.
the front wheel and cause dangerous, uncontrolled skidding.
Keep your speed to a minimum and allow for a greater margin
of error when starting through intersections, stopping and cornering.
Avoid riding over slick substances such as sand, loose gravel, ice, oil
and other debris not intended as a strolling surface. These slick
spots put a thin layer between you and the road, essentially
removing your tires from the surface they are trying to hold. If
slippery surfaces cannot be avoided it is advisable that you walk
your stroller to reduce the risk of accidents and injury.
