How to fold the stroller: step by step instructions

Even before the birth of a baby, many parents begin to wonder what kind of stroller to buy for him. Some pay attention to the price, others - to the popularity of a particular model, and others - to weight, maneuverability and other indicators. Most often, newborn babies choose transforming models for their versatility, as well as modular strollers. However, not always parents, especially mothers, are able to immediately understand the mechanism for assembling and disassembling children's transport. This article will help to deal with this issue.

Only born babies need to be in a horizontal position on a completely flat surface while walking. For the transportation of such babies, there are three types of wheelchairs - transformers, modular and cradles. Since the last option is relevant only until the moment when the baby sits, it is worthwhile to dwell in more detail on the first two options. Transforming strollers are a design that, with the help of simple machinations from a cradle for newborns, turns into a walking unit for grown-up children. Modular models of children's transport consist of a chassis with wheels and two, and sometimes three blocks.

In order to assemble the stroller, you must first remove the cradle from the chassis, then install another unit. For some parents, the choice of a transformer is obvious. After all, do not have to look for additional space for storage of removable units. In addition, the bed in the position of the cradle of these models is larger than in the box of modular types of children's transport. Often these two types are confused with each other, since it is difficult from the outside to distinguish a transformer from a modular one.

The strength of both models can be called powerful wheels. The most common are inflatable and with good cushioning, which are able to overcome off-road, snow-covered terrain and other difficult areas. Modular strollers, in addition to the bassinet and the walking unit, often have a self-contained trolley in which you can carry a baby in a car and fix it on the chassis without any problems. For some families, such a purchase may be more practical than buying a seat and a wheelchair separately.

The mechanisms for assembling and unfolding the two types of children's transport described above are different. Usually when buying a stroller in a store in a box, in addition to the product itself, you can find detailed instructions from the manufacturer on how to handle this model. However, parents do not always buy new things for the child, so the instructions may simply not be. Models of strollers such as transformer are usually sold in the folded form. Therefore, upon coming home, parents face the primary task of unfolding and correctly assembling the stroller.

• To do this, you must first expand the frame in the correct position. To do this, you must pull the handle until a characteristic click.
• The next step is to fix the wheels. Pressing the center of the wheel, you need to put each of them on the axle.After checking the reliability of the mounting of all wheels, the wheel of the stroller should be put on the brake to make it easier to attach the rest of the parts.

• Then install the handrail, first passing it through the cover. Usually on such models the fabric is fixed on the sides of the buttons. For those children who are already sitting, it is also necessary to fix a jumper for the legs on the handrail.
• Now you can install the stroller handle in the correct position.. It is necessary to pull the clips, while throwing the handle on the other side, then adjust the handle height. Additional accessories, such as a bag for mom, a cover on the legs or a clutch on the handrail, are usually fastened with buttons. This allows you to keep the stroller clean, to easily remove and fasten the fabric elements after washing.

Many parents often transport the stroller by car or simply fold it into a compact position after a walk. To fold a baby carriage-transformer, it is necessary to do such manipulations as:

• set the vehicle in the brake position and lower the hood to the stop, while the back of the stroller must be strictly horizontal;
• Throw a handle and pull the clips on the sides of the stroller. Movements should not be obstructed, otherwise it will result in the wheelchair folding in half. The folded stroller is additionally fixed with a special lever.

The assembly stages of modular wheelchairs largely coincide with the transformer.

• Initially, you need to expand the chassis, bending the sides.
• Then the handle of the stroller is attached. You just need to insert it into the special holes to a characteristic click, after which you need to click on it to check the reliability.
• After that, you can proceed to attach the wheels. Pulling up the lever on the wheel, you should put it on the axle. When releasing the lever, a click should be heard, signifying a secure fit. To continue the assembly, put the stroller on the brake.
• The product basket is attached to the chassis separately. Usually it is mounted on the buttons.
• After that, you should select the necessary module - cradle, walking block or car carrier. Turn the hooks on the frame on both sides clockwise, insert the bayonets on the block into the slots and turn the hooks again clockwise. The block is fixed.

To preserve the original form of children's transport and not to break it during operation, should read some tips.

• Proper care will ensure the long life of any stroller. Regular cleaning of wheels from dirt and lubrication of axles with special oil will protect the undercarriage from premature wear. And keeping the metal parts clean and dry will not allow the wheelchair to rust.
• Immediately before folding, remove all foreign objects from the box and shopping basket. This will allow you to easily and compactly fold the transport and avoid accidental breakage.
• Do not forget to remove from the handle bag for mom, because it can interfere with the assembly process or get dirty during transport.
• Hood before folding the stroller should be as low as possible, so that the upper part was not too bulky.
• The folded design should be carried, holding only metal parts or a handle specially designed for this purpose.

Manufacturers do not stand still and constantly improve models of wheelchairs for maximum convenience of parents. So, many buyers leave positive feedback on the modular stroller Marimex Armel. It is not inferior in its characteristics more expensive counterparts and copes with its task. Attractive looks original color model. Many people point out a convenient way to mount a shopping basket under the box.Instead of the usual buttons, the manufacturer used a more reliable fastener in the form of a zipper.

Among the models of transformers, Ultra 2 in 1 stroller from the manufacturer Happy Baby is worth mentioning. Buyers have appreciated the functionality and ease of operation of this model, as well as the simplicity of its assembly, and all this at a very reasonable price. In addition to the transforming unit, the kit comes with a car carrier, which is very convenient for many parents.

The model assembly mechanism is extremely simple and automated, the main thing is to find and press the necessary buttons. Unlike most transformers, this model is assembled by analogy with modular models - a transformable block is attached after assembling the chassis and wheels.
