PASSENGER SAFETY
NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHILD UNATTENDED IN THE STROLLER!

It is important to keep yourself
and your passenger properly
hydrated at all times so bring
plenty of water and make it
easily accessible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
This could lock up
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.
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.
