Advice Follow the instructions in this user guide to assemble the Bugaboo Cameleon. Assemble step-by-step so that you become familiar with all of the Bugaboo Cameleon's parts and possibilities.

1. basic steps

This section explains how to assemble the Bugaboo Cameleon. Each basic step in the Bugaboo Cameleon's assembly is explained separately in the text boxes. It is advisable to practice the basic steps.

chassis

The parts are attached to the chassis. The chassis comprises:

• axle for the large wheels;
• axle for the swivel wheels with holder;
• handlebar with frame bearers, parking brake and wrist strap.

You also need the following for the assembly:

• 2 swivel wheels;
• 2 large wheels.
  Frame and carry handle complete the chassis for further assembly.

Advice Use the cardboard packaging as a mat during assembly.

step 1 folding out the chassis and handlebar

a Place the chassis with the 4 points on the floor.

b. Stand with the handlebar in front of you.
c. Hold the handlebar lightly in your hands. Do not push.

d Press the 2 white buttons on the inside of the handlebar. The button on your left hand side has a secondary lock and therefore has to be slid forward a little before pushing.

e Let go of the white buttons and then move the handlebar upwards and away from you. You will hear a 'click' when the handlebar is uptight.

e 'click' 'click'

swivel wheels

The swivel wheels provide optimum manoeuvrability.

step 2 placing the swivel wheels in the holders

a Without releasing it, move the handlebar to the floor. The wheel axles are now facing upwards. It is easy to install the wheels this way.

4. various uses of carrycot and seat

You can use the carrycot from the child's birth until the child is aged around 6 months. It is only intended to be used for children who cannot sit or get up onto their hands and knees unaided. Do not use the carrycot for children who are longer than 76cm / 29.9 inches or heavier than 9kg / 19.8 lbs.

You can use the seat for children older than 6 months who do not weigh more than 17 kg/37.5 lbs.

carrycot

The child is able to lie down completely. This means the spine is not placed under any stress and the child can stretch his/her legs. For use as a pram, only place the carrycot horizontally on the chassis. The carrycot can be turned around easily. This enables you to see into the carrycot and the child can look at you. The carrycot can also be used without the chassis, provided it is placed on a horizontal, stable and dry surface.

WARNINGS

• Use the carrycot only if installed on the chassis or when placed on a horizontal, stable and dry surface.
• Only use the carrycot in the horizontal position. In any other position, the child may slide or fall out of the carrycot.
• Ensure that all the touch fasteners and fasteners are securely fastened before use.
• NEVER use the carrycot as a car bed. Avoid injurious or fatal accidents.
• NEVER use the carrycot fabric when it is not attached to the frame.
• Before picking up the carrycot by the carry handle, always check that the carry handle is properly secured.
• Use the carrycot only if installed on the chassis or when placed on a horizontal, stable and dry surface
• Use a harness as soon as your child can sit unaided.

seat

You can set the seat to one of three positions. This is only possible if the seat is on the chassis. The 3 positions are:

1. sitting 2. reclining 3. lying

Note The child's posture (angle between the back support and seat pad) remains the same in the 3 positions.

The seat can be turned around easily. That is how you change the direction your child is facing. The seat can also be used separately from the chassis. You can use the seat as a free-standing seat on the ground, if you fold out the frame supports completely.

WARNING

• Before picking up the seat by the carry handle, always check that the carry handle is properly secured.
• Use safety belts when your child can sit up on its own.

5. using the seat safety belts

The Bugaboo Cameleon seat has a 5-point harness, which comprises: 2 shoulder belts, 1 crotch belt and 2 waist belts (fastened to the frame). Use the safety belts when the child is sitting in the seat. Prevent the child from falling out of the seat and being injured.

23

en

Note The Bugaboo Cameleon's carrycot and frame are fitted with extra fastening rings. If required, you can use them to attach an extra harness or extra belts. The fastening rings are attached to the base of the carrycot. The waist belts with extra fastening rings are attached to the frame.

step 1 using safety belts

a. Fit the seat to the chassis (with the brake applied) or on the floor.
b. Place the child in the seat.

c Pull the crotch belt forwards between the child's legs. If the child slides down, first pass the crotch belt through the black loop on the seat pad.

• The safety belts must be adjusted to fit the child and must be properly secured.
• If your child slides down, pass the crotch belt through the loop on the seat's seat pad before attaching it to the waist and shoulder belts.

6. fitting the underseat bag

The underseat bag hangs under the carrycot or seat.

step 1 fitting the underseat bag

The underseat bag is fastened between the wheels of the chassis.

a. Remove the frame from the chassis.

b Fit the underseat bag to the chassis in between the axles of the wheels with the Bugaboo logo facing the large wheels.

10. maintenance and accessories

safety

Check the safety of the Bugaboo Cameleon before use. Ensure that the touch fasteners, the brake and the safety belts are still working properly, the carry handle is attached properly and that the carrycot or seat is fitted correctly to the chassis. Check whether the Bugaboo Cameleon is damaged. You should ensure that any damaged or worn parts are repaired immediately.

parts

For replacements, only use parts that have been approved by Bugaboo International BV.

To prevent mould, do not fold the Bugaboo Cameleon and accessories when wet or store them in a damp place.

cleaning

Clean the Bugaboo Cameleon regularly. Use a moist cloth and mild cleaning agent.

The swivel wheels soon get dirty. Remove them from the holders and clean them with lukewarm water. Dry them well.

cleaning the fabric

The Bugaboo Cameleon's fabric is detachable and may be washed in a washing machine.

Wash carefully. Before washing, ALWAYS remove the frame, reinforcements and plastic foam parts.

Note When washing the fabric, remind the following:

• maximum temperature 30 °C
• do not use bleach
• do not tumble dry
• do not iron
• do not dry clean

The aerated inlay can be washed at 60^ C. At this temperature, the inlay will become totally clean. The aerated inlay is placed on top of the thicker foam mattress and can be taken of by removing the mattress cover. After washing the fabrics, ensure that all parts are replaced in their original positions. The aerated inlay should be placed on top of the foam mattress. Do not use the mattress without the aerated inlay.
