under the armrests (diagram 20) and pull the bar towards
you. Open one side of the bumper bar only to seat the child
in the stroller more easily.

ness The bumper bar is NOT a child restraint device.

into the required position, according to the height and
position most suited to the user (diagram 21).
The handgrip can be adjusted to 8 different positions.

not be in the DOWN position (diagram 22 A). Make sure
that the handgrips are locked in the UP position, as seen
in diagram 22 B.
PARKING BRAKE
The parking brake is applied to both rear wheel at the same
time. To make it easier to use the stroller, a special STOP
& GO braking system has been installed, indicated by the
coloured stickers on the rear brake lever.
23. To put on the brakes, press the right lever downwards
(diagram 23). A red STOP sticker will appear and the op-
posite lever will move upwards.
24. To release the brakes, press the left lever downwards
(diagram 24). A green GO sticker will appear and the op-
posite lever will move upwards.
WARNING: Always apply the brakes whenever the stroller
is stationary. Never leave the stroller on a sloping surface
with a child inside, even with the parking brake ON.
WARNING: After applying the brake lever make sure that
the brakes are properly applied on both of the rear wheel
units.
SWIVEL WHEELS
The stroller has swivel/fixed front wheels. It is recommended
to use the fixed wheels on particularly uneven ground. It
is recommended to use the swivel wheels on normal road
surfaces as it makes it easier to handle.
25. To switch the front wheels to swivel mode, press the
front lever down with your front, as seen in diagram 25.
To switch back to fixed mode, pull the lever up with your
foot. Whatever the current position of the wheel, it will
lock in a straight position.
WARNING: Both wheels must be blocked or released at
the same time.
CLOSING THE STROLLER
WARNING: when opening the stroller, ensure that your child
and all other children are at a safe distance. Ensure that
during these operations the moving parts of the stroller do
not come into contact with your child. The stroller can be
closed when in either parent-facing or front-facing mode.
The instructions to follow are the same for both user modes.
If you wish to reduce the space the closed structure takes
up, it is recommended to close the structure with the seat
fitted in the front-facing position.
26. Raise the side compasses and fold the hood (diagram
26).
27. Pull both the small levers on the handles; keep them
raised whilst you use your toe to pull the rear cross frame
upwards (diagram 27).
28. Grasp the closure handle and pull it upwards until the
stroller locks into a closed position (diagram 28).
29. To decrease the space the closed stroller takes up, recline
the backrest as flat as possible (diagram 29 A – front-facing
diagram 29 B – parent-facing).
30. Now fold the handgrips forwards (diagram 30). When
the stroller is closed and locked in place, it will stand up
on its own
WARNING: You must always remove the joinable handle
(if fitted) before closing the stroller.
REMOVABLE COVERS
Open the stroller slightly with the safety harness unfas-
tened:
31. Release press stud A and the velcro fastener B as
indicated in diagram 31.

slide the lining off, paying attention to the harness straps
(diagram 32 A); remove the lining from the backrest by
pulling it upwards after undoing the side Velcro fasteners

USING THE CHILD CAR SEAT AND CARRYCOT
The CHICCO strollers which use the CLIK CLAK system
on the armrests allow you to fasten the carrycot and/
or child seat to the stroller frame without any need for
additional fixtures.
Please consult the relative instructions for information on
how to fit and remove the carrycot or child seat.
33. Before fitting the child car seat or carry-coat, remove
the armrest covers completely starting with the two metal
buttons on the inside of the armrests and then sliding out
the 3 tabs from their relative fixtures (diag. 33 A and B).
WARNING: only the CHICCO child seats and carrycots
which are fitted with the CLIK CLAK system can be fitted
onto the stroller. Before using the stroller in combination
with the carrycot or child car seat, always check that the
hook-on system is correctly closed and locked in place.
ONLY USE ACCESSORIES FITTED WITH THE RELATIVE
CLIK CLAK DEVICE.
34. WARNING: Incorrect fastening of the accessory to the
stroller frame can cause the fastening system to malfunc-
tion, making it impossible to remove it. In this case you can
manually release the accessory by using a screwdriver on
the levers under the armrests which can be reached through
the relative slot (diagram 34).
