GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
OPENING THE STROLLER AND FIRST ASSEMBLY
WARNING: When opening the stroller, make sure that your child or
other children are at a safety distance.
WARNING: Make sure that during these operations the moving
parts of the stroller do not come into contact with your child.
1. Open the closing hook (Fig. 1) and pull up on the handle (Fig. 1A)
until the structure opens completely (Fig. 1B).
WARNING: Before use, ensure that the stroller is locked in the open
position, checking that the mechanism is effectively locked.
2. Mount the front wheels on the stroller until they are locked in po-
sition (Fig. 2). To remove the front wheels pull on the lever shown
and pull down on the wheel to remove it (Fig. 2A). The front
wheels have a swivel feature: use the lever (Fig. 2B) to activate
or deactivate the feature. When the lever is lowered the wheels
swivel freely; to lock the wheels raise the lever as illustrated. The
swivel wheels make the stroller easier to handle; it is however rec-
ommended to use the wheels in fixed mode on uneven ground
to guarantee better stability (on gravel, unpaved roads etc.)
WARNING: All wheels must always be locked or released together.
3. Fit the rear wheels by inserting the pin in the appropriate hole on
the rear tube (Fig. 3). To remove them press on the button under
the wheel support and pull outwards (Fig. 3A).
WARNING: Before use, ensure that the wheels have locked correct-
ly.
4. Install the bumper bar by inserting it into the appropriate slots
located on the joints of the stroller (Fig. 4). If it needs to be re-
moved, press on the buttons located inside the joints (Fig. 4A).
WARNING: Never use the bumper bar to lift the stroller up with
your child sitting in it.
HOW TO USE THE SAFETY HARNESS
This stroller has a five-point safety harness featuring two shoulder
straps, two adjustment holes, a waist strap and a crotch strap with
buckle.
5. WARNING: To use it with children from birth to approx. 6 months
of age, you must use the shoulder straps, first threading them
through two adjusting holes (Fig. 5), and threading the waist strap
through the vertical holes (Fig. 5A). The height of the shoulder
straps can be adjusted by using the different slots found on the
backrest.
6. After having placed the baby in the stroller, fasten the straps (Fig.
6) by passing the two prongs (A) through the buckle on the shoul-
der straps (B) and secure in the crotch strap buckle (C); adjust the
height of the shoulder straps so that they correctly fit your child's
shoulders (Fig. 6A). Always make sure that the straps are fastened
correctly. To unfasten the strap, press and pull the side prongs.
WARNING: To guarantee the safety of your child, the safety harness
must be fastened at all times.
To make sure that the belts are fastened properly to the anchoring
points, after placing your child inside the stroller, pull the end parts of
the belts firmly.
ADJUSTING THE BACKREST
