at the same time.
22. To operate the brakes of the stroller, push the lever
located between the rear wheels in a downward direc-
tion, as shown in the diagram. To release the brake, pull
the lever located between the rear wheels in an upward
direction.
WARNING: Always apply the brakes whenever the stroll-
er is stationary. WARNING: Never leave the stroller on
a sloped surface, with a child on board, even with the
brakes applied.
SLOWING DOWN BRAKE
WARNING: The intended use of the slowing down brake
is to slow down the speed of the stroller. Never use the
slowing down brake as a safety brake.
23. To slow down the stroller’s speed, use the brake
lever located on the handle (diag. 23 A). It is recom-
mended to adjust the brakes regularly by turning nut A
(as shown in diagram 23 B), which adjusts both brake
shoes; If the two brakes are not aligned, it is possible
to adjust them independently operating nuts B. In both
cases, the brakes operate more efficiently if the nuts are
screwed in an anti-clockwise direction.
FRONT SWIVEL WHEEL
The stroller has a fixed/swivel front wheel.
It is recommended to use the fix wheel when using the
stroller on particularly uneven surfaces. The use of the
swivel wheel is recommended to increase the manoeu-
vrability of the stroller.
24. To use the front wheel in the swivel mode, push the
front lever in a downward direction with your foot, as
shown in diagram 24. To use the front wheel in the fixed
mode, lift the lever with the foot: the wheel will lock in the
straight position independently of its position.
ADJUSTABLE REAR SUSPENSION
The stroller has an adjustable rear suspension.
25. To adjust the suspension, operate the lever indicated
in diag. 25. By moving the lever inward, the suspension
becomes softer (ideal for use with young children), while
by moving the lever externally, the suspension becomes
harder (ideal for older children).
Both suspension must be adjusted in the same way.
HOW TO USE THE CAR SEAT AND CARRYCOT
WARNING: Please read carefully the instruction booklets
on how to use the carrycot and car seat.
WARNING: Only the CHICCO car seats and carrycots
featuring the CLIK CLAK devices can be fitted to the
stroller. Before using the stroller with the carrycot or car
seat fitted to it, always check that the locking system is
correctly and safely locked.
The stroller has the Clik Clak system, which allows you
to fit the carrycot or car seat without using any further
locking devices.
The stroller can be fitted with the carrycot or the car seat,
both with or without stroller cover. To fit and remove the
cover of the stroller, please refer to the paragraph “How
to fit/remove the cover”.
26. The Clik Clak locking system is located on the arm-
rests of the stroller. First unfasten the fabric cover of the
armrests as shown in the diagram. It is recommended
to raise the central part of the flap and then release the
plastic joints from the slots located on the armrests. Re-
move the bumper bar.
27. Operate the rear buttons on the armrests (diagram
27 A), and adjust them to the highest position (diagram
27 B).
WARNING: Before fitting the carrycot or the car seat,
check that the armrests are locked in the highest posi-
tion. To fix the carrycot or car seat to the frame of the
stroller, please refer to the instructions supplied.
28. Remove the carrycot or the car seat as indicated in
the instructions, and readjust the armrests to the lowest
position, operating the rear button located on the arm-
rests. Then push the armrests in a downward direction,
until they are safely locked into position (diag. 28).
WARNING: When using the transport system as a stroll-
er, before seating the child on the cover of the stroller,
ensure that the armrests are adjusted to the low position,
with the fabric part fixed to the armrests.
The stroller may be closed with the armrests in the high-
est position; this will make the fitting of the carrycot and
car seat easier when the stroller is reopened.
ACCESSORIES:
WARNING: The accessories described below may not
be available for some of the models purchased. Please
read carefully the instructions on the accessories avail-
able for the model purchased.
SUMMER/WINTER HOOD
29. The stroller has two slots located on the sides which
allow you to fit accessories like the sun canopy and the
hood. To fit the canopy, insert the locking system of the
hood into the slots of the stroller’s frame, as shown in
diagram 29. To remove the hood, it is sufficient to slide
the locking devices in the opposite direction.
30. To open the hood, push the small front arch in a
forward direction, and lock it by operating the two small
side arches, as shown in diagram 30.
31. The hood may feature a zip, which allows you to
detach the rear panel and use the hood as a summer
canopy, as shown in diag. 31.
WARNING: Some stroller models may have a simpler
hood that does not feature the removable rear panel.
WARNING: The hood must be fixed on both sides of
the stroller. Check that the hood is safely fitted to the
stroller.
WARNING: Some hood models have a side pocket
that allows you to store some small object (e.g.: keys,
glasses, etc).
WARNING: Do not overload the pocket, since it has
been designed to store only small objects.
PILLOWS/INSERTS
The stroller can be fitted with two pillows/inserts, one for
the seat and one for the head. They can be used on ei-
ther side. On one side, they have a soft and warm fleece
cover that is ideal for the winter, while on the other side
they have a special netting cover that ensures maximum
aeration in the summer (diag. 32).
The pillows have been designed and realized to ensure
