USE SAFELY DURING EVERY USE

Guide for Safe Strolling
Wear a helmet.
An unprotected head is highly susceptible to injury, even from the slightest contact. Children in a stroller should wear a helmet that is comfortable, fits properly, and meets CPSC or CE safety testing standards. Helmets should be removed when not riding in the stroller to avoid entrapment in the straps.
Know and observe your local pedestrian laws.
•Use your jogging stroller defensively (expect the unexpected). Remember: You and your jogging stroller are hard to see. Many drivers simply are not trained to recognize the rights and special considerations of a jogging stroller.
Do not use unsafe jogging stroller practices.
While most pedestrian rules can be classified as common sense, it is still necessary to list a few of the things you should NOT do with a jogging stroller.
•Never leave a child unattended in a jogging stroller. Not even for a moment.
•Do not walk ‘no hands’. Without a firm grip on the handlebars, the slightest road imperfection could cause the jogging stroller to turn unexpectedly.
•Do not walk with loose objects attached to the handlebars or any other part of the jogging stroller. They could get caught in the wheel spokes, cause the handlebars to turn unexpectedly, or in other ways cause loss of control.
•Do not walk while intoxicated or while using medications which might make you drowsy. Jogging strollers require attention to the child in the jogging stroller, and walkers must be alert for hazards.
•Do not use the jogging stroller at night or in poor visibility conditions. Other vehicles may not be able to see the jogging stroller.
•Never push the jogging stroller while wearing
Do not submerge any bearings of your jogging stroller.
Bearings allow the parts of a jogging stroller to rotate smoothly, and water will make them rust and lose their smoothness. If any bearings on your jogging stroller get submerged, take your jogging stroller to your Chariot dealer for service.
WARNING
Avoid unsafe practices. Keep the safety of yourself, the child, and the jogging stroller in mind. Failure to follow these rules may cause loss of control resulting in personal injury.
