INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE
•
WARNING: A CHILD’S SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY.
•
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED AT ANY TIME.
• Always ensure that your pushchair is fully erect and all locking clips are engaged. (Take particular care if the PVC Raincover is fitted. Check that it is not entangled or preventing the locking mechanism from functioning correctly).
• Your pushchair is supplied with a five-point safety harness. We recommend that the harness is worn by your child at all times. Ensure that the harness is correctly adjusted, providing a snug fit around your child. Adjustments can be made using the buckles on the shoulder, waist and crotch straps. Please refer to “Using and Adjusting the Safety Harness” on page 12. The pushchair is supplied with ‘D’ ring harness attachment points. These are located on either side at the base of the backrest and are for fitting a separate harness conforming to BS 6684 if required.
• Always ensure the brakes are correctly engaged whenever the pushchair is left for any reason, even if only for a short time on a flat surface. Check the brakes are engaged by rocking the pushchair backwards and forwards.
• Care should be taken when using any PVC raincover. Regularly check that your baby is comfortable and not over heating. There are ventilation holes in the sides of the raincover. These are essential to aid the flow of cool air around your baby. When it is not raining or the pushchair is indoors always remove the raincover.
• Always ensure your child is clear of moving parts before adjusting the position of the backrest, hood or sun canopy.
• When you change the angle of the backrest, always ensure that the harness is correctly adjusted.
• Always manoeuvre your pushchair up and down kerbs and steps gently. Do not let your pushchair drop. Carry it up stairs whenever possible.
• Never allow additional children to ride on the pushchair at any time.
• Never overload your pushchair with additional goods.
• Do not hang shopping from the handlebars.
• Do not use any replacement parts or accessories e.g. child seats, raincovers, stand-on platforms etc, except those recommended or supplied by Mamas & Papas. The use of non-approved replacement parts or accessories may damage your pushchair or make it unsafe.
•
Never force your pushchair.
Adjustments and locks should be free and easy to operate.
• Do not store your pushchair in a damp place. Always allow the fabric to dry naturally away from direct heat.
• The basket supplied with your pushchair is designed to hold a maximum of 3kgs. Excessive weight could damage the basket or impede the safe operation of the pushchair.
• We recommend that you fit a Mamas & Papas Sun Canopy to shade your child from direct sunlight. We recommend that this is used in conjunction with the appropriate sun protection cream and clothing.
• The tyres of the pushchair should be regularly checked and inflated if necessary using the hand pump supplied, or a suitable foot pump. Do not use high pressure air lines or mechanical pumps as used in garages to inflate the tyres.
IMPORTANT: Never inflate the tyres above - 28 P.S.I.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TYRES
Regularly check that the tyres are correctly inflated. When pushing your pushchair always check that no sharp objects are in your path as these may puncture the pneumatic tyres.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your pushchair is a valuable piece of equipment and deserves careful handling.
• Regularly check that the safety harness is correctly fitted and that the webbing straps have not become frayed or damaged. If the harness is damaged, we recommend that a new one is fitted. For more information contact our Customer Services Helpline on: 0870 8307700.
• Clean the plastic parts of the pushchair with a damp cloth.
Do not use abrasives or bleach
.
• Clean and lubricate the wheels, locks (where appropriate) and sliding parts using a light oil or silicon spray. Do not use heavy oil as this will attract dust and grit which tend to clog and damage moving parts. If in any doubt contact our Customer Services Helpline.
• We strongly recommend that you have your pushchair serviced regularly, particularly after the first six months. To do this contact either your retailer or call our Customer Services Helpline.
• Do not over fill the pocket on the hood, (maximum weight 0.5 kgs).
Fabric care
• All the Mamas & Papas pushchair fabrics are shower resistant. Should your pushchair become wet, do not fold the hood or the pushchair when you take it inside. Always allow the fabrics to dry naturally away from strong heat sources such as fires, radiators and out of direct sunlight.
• Whilst fabrics are carefully selected and tested, washing, wear and normal exposure to bright sunlight may cause their colour to change.
• The exposed edges of fabric covers are often the first to wear and fray, remember this when storing or transporting your pushchair and accessories.
• Light soiling to the pushchair can be removed with a damp sponge and a mild detergent.
Washing instructions
• Remove the fabrics following the information given in these instructions. Clean the fabrics according to the instructions on the washcare labels. Do not use abrasives or bleach to clean the fabric.
• Should a fault arise with your pushchair please contact either your retailer or phone our Customer
Services Helpline.
