safety
Check the safety of the Bugaboo Gecko before each use. Ensure that the hook and loop fasteners, the brake and the safety belts are all working properly and that the bassinet or seat is fitted correctly to the chassis. Check whether the Bugaboo Gecko is damaged. You should ensure that any damaged or worn parts are repaired immediately (See WARNINGS section).
parts
For replacements, use only genuine Bugaboo parts, or use parts that have been approved by Bugaboo North America Inc. To prevent mold, do not fold the Bugaboo Gecko and accessories when wet or store them in a damp place. If the inner tubes of the big wheels are punctured, repair them in the same way that you would repair a bicycle tire puncture.
cleaning
To clean wheels, remove them from their holders and clean with a moist cloth, lukewarm water and a mild cleaning agent, then dry well and lubricate them with a silicone or Teflon spray. NEVER lubricate the wheel bearings.
Important Some Bugaboo Gecko components may become discolored if left in the sun.
cleaning the fabric
The Bugaboo Gecko’s fabric is detachable and may be washed in a washing machine. Wash carefully.
Note The fabric must never:
-be washed at a temperature of more than 30oC/85oF
-bleached
-ironed
-dry cleaned
-dried in a tumbler dryer
The Aerosleep® mattress can be washed at 60oC/140oF. At this temperature, the mattress will become totally clean. The Aerosleep® mattress is lying on top of the thicker mattress and can be taken off by removing the cover. Before washing, ALWAYS remove the frame, reinforcements and plastic foam parts.
