MODIFIED VEHICLE SECURING THE BUGGY TO THE TRACK SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE FLOOR The Phoenix Buggy must be secured to the vehicle floor using a 4-point webbing restraint system. We prefer the tongue and buckle style connection as it will not cause scratching to the stroller frame.

Before folding the Phoenix Buggy, set the seat carriage level. You may always have the seat tilted, but the buggy must not be folded with the seat carriage in this position. Attempting to fold the buggy incorrectly may damage the frame and invalidate the warranty.
