To change the stroller back to the

three wheeled vehicles can be
easily influenced to deviate from
a straight path. In some cases
strollers can have or develop a
tendency to pull to the right/left due
to many different factors including tire pressure, wheel installation,
road conditions and manufacturing tolerances. If you find your BOB
stroller to significantly track or pull to the left or right while in the
jogging configuration during use on flat terrain, follow the sequence
of instructions below.

The front fork’s dropouts are slotted to receive the front wheel (Fig.
8). Slide the wheel into the dropouts so that the quick release lever
is on the left hand side of the stroller when the fork is rotated forward

Do not strap parcels or bags to the handle as it affects the balance
and stability of the stroller and can cause it to tip over backwards.
The maximum carrying capacity of the stroller is 70 pounds.
Do not place sharp objects in the seatback pocket as your child
leans against this and can be injured as a result.
When starting out, always make sure that your kid’s hands and feet
are away from wheel spokes.
The stroller is not equipped for use after dark. If you intend to use
it at night, we recommend installing reflectors and a lighting system
available through your local bike shop.
We do not recommend wearing roller skates or in-line skates while
pushing stroller.
Always use wrist safety strap.
Never run with the stroller in Swivel Mode (see section 6)
Do not use stroller on stairs or steep inclines. Stroller can tip over,
resulting in injury.
Never pull a loaded stroller backwards up stairs. Doing so could
damage the suspension system – leading to frame failure and serious
injury to the user and/or the occupants.
Tracking Adjustment Instructions:

order to catch and return the stroller. Fig. 12 illustrates the roll test
process.
