5.4 WEAr And tEAr

This child carrier is very durable and allows you to
transport your child(ren) for long periods of time. It
is subject to wear and tear over time depending on
several factors.
Use and Mileage
The more often this child carrier is used and the farther it
goes the more it will wear.
Service and Care
Keeping this child carrier clean and well maintained is an
important factor in keeping it in good condition.
Storage
Storing this child carrier properly will reduce the amount
of wear, especially to the fabric.
Type of Use
Hard cornering, fast acceleration and braking all
contribute to premature wear of components.
Weather
Various weather conditions affect individual components
differently. Direct sunlight prematurely wears the fabric,
windows and rubber wheels. Salt in the air or on the road
affects the wheel rims and fabric floor. Dirt and mud can
get into moving parts and contribute to wear as well.
Premature wear of a component is not necessarily signs
of a defective product. The way this child carrier is used
and cared for will greatly affect how quickly it wears.
