• Keep children away from stroller while unfolding.
• Position the stroller with the handle bar closest to you.
• 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 fingers 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

the stroller will not roll away. Never leave stroller unattended, especially on a
hill or incline, as the stroller may tip over or slide.

The footrest can be adjusted to two positions – horizontal or all the way down.
• To place the footrest into the horizontal position, pull up on the footrest and position
the footrest lower bar into the upper slot at the middle of the plastic bracket on the
underside of the footrest. See Figure 18.
• Ensure that the bar is located securely into this slot on BOTH sides of the footrest.
Lower the footrest slightly to lock it into this position.

WARNING
Never allow a child to step onto the footrest in either position in order to get into
or out of the stroller. This may cause the stroller to tip over and injure the child.
Securing the Front Seated Child
• Ensure that the two snaps on both armrest pads that hold the seat onto the frame are
securely snapped together.
• Ensure that both shoulder straps are attached to the waist strap buckles. See Figure 20.
• Unlatch the waist/shoulder buckle by squeezing the latch releases on both sides of the
buckle and removing the male ends of each buckle.
• Carefully place the child in the stroller seat with the shoulder straps over their shoulders
and chest. Then place the crotch strap between the child’s legs.
NOTE: that there are three height adjustment positions for the shoulder harness
straps. For a younger child, the shoulder straps should be positioned through the
lower sewn-in loops on the seatback. For a young child that is tall, the shoulder straps
may be positioned through the upper sewn-in loops on the seatback. For a taller
child, use the shoulder straps WITHOUT positioning them through these sewn-in
loops. To re-position the shoulder straps, unbuckle them from the harness buckle
and feed these straps through the sewn-in loops, insuring that they are not twisted.
Re-buckle the shoulder straps onto the harness buckle to secure them.

buckles on these straps. See Figures 22 and 23.

that is at least 2-1/2 years old but LESS than 44 inches tall and less than 45 lbs.

pad. These straps will lock the seat into the most rearward position. To
lock the seat, pull the straps from EACH side of the pad and loop them around
the frame as shown, then snap them together. See Figure 26. To slide the
seat forward, undo EACH snap and reattach the webbing to the underside of
the seat pad using the hook and loop attachments.
• Position the canopy to its most forward position.
• Unlatch the waist buckle by squeezing the latch releases on both sides of the
buckle and removing the male ends of each buckle.
