Stroller Assembl

enin

1. Lay the stroller flat on the floor and

carefully cut the cable tie which

holds the frame.

2. Lift the handle upward to a vertical

position.

1. Lift the front wheel housing upward

so that the stroller frame unfolds

from beneath.

2. Press down on the locking hinge

with your hand or foot.

the rear wheels

1. To remove the wheel simply

press the axle button in the centre

of the wheel hub and

simultaneously pull the wheel

outward.

1. Pressing the axle button, insert the

protruding long axle into the

opening in the tube at the rear of the

stroller chassis.

2. Repeat this procedure for the other

side.

If your brakes do not engage, check to see that the nylon brake cogs are on the INSIDE of each wheel when it is

attached to the chassis. If not, remove the wheel and SQR axle and re-insert the SQR axle from the other side of the

wheel, so that the cog will be on the inside of the wheel.

1. Pressing on the centre hub button,

insert the SQR axle through the

outside of the metal hub in each

wheel.

IMPORTANT: Insert through outside of

the wheel - the side which does NOT

have the nylon brake cog)

Your front bar

1. Remove the plugs from the nylon housing at either side of the stroller frame by

pressing each inner “release button” and pulling the plug upward.

2. Insert the bar ends into the nylon housing located on either side of the frame. Be sure

that the bar is securely engaged

3. Adjust the front bar by simultaneously pressing the 2 red buttons and swivelling the

bar (forward or backward). NEVER use your stroller with the front bar in the lowest

position. This position is ONLY for use when folding the stroller!

4. To remove the front bar: Feeling the side of the nylon housing that sits below the

frame at each side (facing inward), locate the release “button.”

5. Press the release button inward while simultaneously pushing upward on the bar

housing. Repeat for the other side.

IMPORTANT WARNING: The front bar IS NOT a restraining device. ALWAYS re-insert the

plugs into the housing when there is nothing inserted.

and usin

the front wheel forks

Your Runabout stroller utilizes our unique

and revolutionary new TRI-MODE™ front

swivel system:

1. To install the front fork, rotate the TRI-

MODE selection dial to the centre

(450) position.

2. Tilt the stroller frame upward on the

rear wheels.

3. Insert the fork shaft into the TRI-

MODE housing till it “clicks” into place.

enin

our stroller

1. To open, unhook the frame

locking strap reversing the

previous step.

To remove the front fork:

1. Rotate the TRI-MODE selection

dial to the centre (450) position.

2. Tilt the stroller frame upward on

the rear wheels.

3. Press the centre release button.

The fork will then be released.

The unique TRI-MODE™ swivel system is as

flexible as it is functional over a variety of

terrains and uses.

1. LOCK: This position is best for use on

extremely rough or soft terrain such as

sand etc which inhibit wheel swivel. To lock

your wheel, rotate the dial to the “LOCK”

position. Swivel the wheel around till it

locks into position.

2. O: The central position locks the wheel into

a tight 450 swivel arc. This provides more

stability for use with a toddlerseat or when

going down inclines.

3. SWIVEL: This position allows full,

unfettered swivel action.

3. Simultaneously lift the secondary

safety catch and swing the handle

forward.

4. Holding the frame at the rear,

press down with your foot on the

rear basket tube. This will

disengage the side hinge locks.

5. Continue pushing the rear of the

basket, moving the rear wheels

forward beneath the frame.

1. Fold the hood back up against the

handle.

2. Release the locking clamps at either

side of the stroller.

2. Holding on to the side of the

footrest, with your foot stopping

the rear wheels, lift the handle so

that the frame begins to unfold.

6. You can lock the frame closed by

stretching the locking strap over the

frame, placing the metal catch over

the rivet on the chassis

Your seat can be adjusted to 4 positions

using the zip system

1. To recline, pull one of the zippers

located on the seat side downward.

2. Do the same to the corresponding zipper

on the other side of the seat

3. For more recline, release more zippered

sections.

4. For seat incline simply reverse this

procedure.

BE SURE THAT ALL ZIPPERS ARE

OPENED/CLOSED FULLY BEFORE USE.

in the hood housing.

3. Slide the hood housing downward,

over the track, so that it completely

engages onto the stroller frame.

“no zi

” recline

(selected units)

The new “no zip” recline offers an

almost infinite amount of seat

adjustments:

1. RECLINE: While squeezing the centre

release mechanism in a pincer action,

ease the seat down to the desired

position.

2. INCLINE: Place your hand in the

centre of the rear of the seat.

3. Pull the incline strap while gently

pushing on the rear of the seat until

the desired position has been

reached. IMPORTANT: Always check

that the brake has fully

engaged

ALWAYS TEST that the seat is securely

locked in place.

hinges (on the basket) to lock the

frame in the open position.

4. Secure the handle to the frame by

engaging the locking clamps on

both sides.

In addition to the 4 adjustment

positions using the zip system, your

stroller has an additional 5th position

which raises the seat to an even more

upright sitting position.

1. With all zippers fully closed, lift

the seat back further upward with

your hand.

2. Secure the seat with the two sets

of straps (one at the top and one

at the bottom of the seat back),

inserting each buckle into the

corresponding buckle housing in

the matching strap.

NOTE: Before using your stroller, be sure to attach the tether straps around the stroller frame by feeding the strap through

the slit in the steel buckle. While not essential for safety, these help reduce the motion of the seat within the stroller frame.

NOTE: Special care must be taken when

adjusting the seat position with a child in

the stroller. Before adjusting the zippers,

place your hand beneath the seat at its

current position and lift it slightly. This will

relieve pressure on the zippers and make

them easier to adjust.

There are two available brake systems

available for the Runabout Tri Mode

series:

STANDARD BRAKE (pictured)

1. Press down on the centre of the

brake bar until the bar ends engage

in the nylon brake cogs on the

wheel.

upward till it locks in the upright

position.

CONCEALED BRAKE:

1. Press the centre toggle down firmly

with your foot until you feel the

Your Runabout stroller is fitted with our unique new multi point safety harness system. Your

child MUST always be harnessed while in the stroller.

TO SECURE YOUR CHILD IN THE HARNESS:

1. Overlap buckles (A) and (B) so that they fit together to form one complete buckle.

2. Insert the completed buckle into the Buckle Housing (C) until it engages securely in place.

3. Carefully adjust the harness straps to snugly fit your child by adjusting the Sliders located on all

Shoulder Straps, Waist Straps and the Crotch Strap.

4. Your harness can be adjusted for even more comfort for smaller or larger children (at the top of the

seat back and front of the seat) by threading/removing the shoulder straps through the webbing

sewn into the seat. (NOTE: Your stroller must ONLY be used with the Crotch strap threaded

beneath the front webbing strap.) You will need to detach the waist straps at the sides of the stroller

in order to do so. (To detach the waist straps: With a pincer movement, depress the centre buckle

button and pull the strap free from the housing.)

5. To prevent older children tampering with the strap adjustments and for greater child comfort, your

RUNABOUT stroller is provided with 2 soft strap covers for each harness. To fit, detach the waist

straps at the sides of the stroller (as in point 4) and thread the strap through the strap cover. Re-

attach each strap.

The harness should be snugly fitted to the baby’s body, tight enough so that the baby cannot

wriggle itself free of the straps but loose enough so as not to cause the baby any discomfort.

Usin

our harness

Your Runabout is equipped with a tire

pump that hangs in a special pocket found

sewn beneath the seat at the rear.

Your tires should be kept at a pressure of

40 p.s.i. Under inflated tyres can cause

excessive and uneven tire wear, greater

susceptibility to punctures and greater

difficulty in smooth operation.

Your Runabout is equipped with a

removable “Head Hugger” and

shoulder harness covers. The “Head

Hugger” is designed to optimize the

comfort of newborn babies within the

stroller. The shoulder straps increase

your child’s comfort levels when in the

harness as well as keeping harness

adjusters away from busy fingers.

EXTRAS

Your Runabout hood is fitted with a zip

system to which attaches our unique

silver insect mesh (optional extra on

most models)

This protective mesh has been tested

and proven to block out up to 80%*of

UV rays

(*tested to Australian Standard 4399)

tional Extra on most models

AIRGO™ SYSTEM

Your Runabout has been designed to maximise air flow within the

stroller by way of our exclusive Airgo™ system. This unique

system combines a special breathable seat fabric, with our new

flexible hood. The hood incorporates a built in storage bag,

designed to zip off when more air flow is required, to reveal an

additional mesh air vent. The bag is designed “to go” or can be

easily hung from the stroller handle.

TO OPEN YOUR HARNESS:

1. Press down on the Buckle Prongs (1).

2. Simultaneously push the release button in the centre of the buckle (2)

3. Pull the buckles from the Buckle Housing.

Your harness system has been designed to meet very stringent safety standards and incorporates our

unique secondary action. This helps ensure that your child cannot release the harness unaided.

OPTIONAL/ADDITIONAL

ACCESSORIES

UV Protective Insect Net

Our unique insect net zips directly in to the inside of your

RUNABOUT Tri Mode hood. In addition to keeping baby cool,

comfortable and safe from insects, it also blocks up to a

massive 80%*of the sun’s harmful UV rays.

(*tested to Australian Standard 4399)

Toddlerseat

Available in versions for both Single and Twin Runabout models, the

optional toddlerseat sits firmly inside the chassis. Perfect for twins

and an older sibling (Twin model) or when a new baby comes along

and junior still likes to go for a ride! Both Twin and single models

even fold totally out of the way with the stroller! See your local

specialist retailer for more info and suitability.

Travel Storage Bag

Available in BLACK only, the

travel bag is specifically

tailored to the RUNABOUT

model and provides sections

and compartments for all the

components including

wheels, axles etc.

Boot cover

The generous proportions of

this fleecy lined boot keep

your child warm and

protected from the elements

while offering a sense of

space without constriction.

Foot Muff

standard model, the 4 season

model includes a zip out top

section which reveals our

unique 80%* UV protective net.

This allows even more cool

and regulated airflow in warmer

conditions.

Sunstopper (Universal fit)

The unique SUNSTOPPER

provides the ultimate protection

from the suns harsh rays, while

providing a comfortable open

environment for the child. The roll

up blind system means that the

child can be shielded from the

sun without being fully enclosed,

and folds up into its own self

enclosed pouch for easy storage.

Bottle/Cup Holde

(Universal fit)

The revolutionary VALCO

BABY cup/bottle holder was

designed for the busy lifestyle

of today’s parents and carers.

With the specially designed

holding section big enough to

accommodate up to a 1.5 litre

bottle or those big coffee cups,

refreshment is always within

easy reach!

The VALCO HITCHHIKER is a boon to any parent with a child who is old enough to walk but young

enough to need to rest along the way. Made of high quality and extremely sturdy materials (maximum

weight 30 kg’s / 66 lb’s), the HITCHHIKER is easily adjustable for height, width and distance from the

stroller which makes it fit most brands, makes and models of strollers. The handy “hang up” system

means it can hang out of the way when not in use, while the unique quick release systems allows for

quick and easy removal.

All this and more makes the HITCHHIKER the perfect option for that “in between” age child. See your

local specialist retailer for more information.

Caring for your stroller

Moving parts may be lubricated with silicone based lubricants – do not use oil.

Regularly check wheels for loose spokes – tighten as necessary.

Your Runabout chassis is made of aluminium alloy but does include some metal parts. Special

care must always be taken to avoid rust. If this pram is used near the ocean or salty air

environments, spray the chassis and seat frame with water and dry thoroughly. This is

particularly important for parts such as wheel spokes and springs. We recommend rust

inhibiting product should be applied to prevent accelerated rust and fatigue of these metal parts!

We recommend that you wipe down axles and lubricate the wheels every 3 months,

particularly the front wheel and housing. Sand and dirt can grind down axles so, if you

live, walk or run near/on the beach or in a dusty environment, you must remove and

wipe down the axles and wheels, then lubricate them MONTHLY.

AXLES AND MOVING PARTS ARE BEST LUBRICATED WITH SILICONE BASED

PRODUCTS. DO NOT USE OIL BASED PRODUCTS.
