The maximum child weight for the stroller is 15 kg. For the baby carrier, the maximum weight is 10 kg.

From what age can the stroller be used in the sitting position?

The sitting position is not suitable for children under 6 months. For younger children, use the carrycot or baby carrier.

How to install the baby carrier in the car?

Place the baby carrier rear-facing, disable the airbag, push the passenger seat all the way back, pass the lap belt through the front guides and the diagonal belt through the rear guide, then tighten the belt. The handle must be in the 'auto' position.

How to clean the Rio stroller?

Clean the outer fabric and frame with lukewarm water and a mild soap using a soft cloth. Do not use abrasives, chlorine, or denatured alcohol. Do not dry the stroller in direct sunlight.

How to fold and unfold the stroller?

To unfold, place your foot on the rear axle and pull the handlebar upward until the lock clicks. To fold, pivot the reversible handlebar backward, lower the backrest, then pull both blocking levers upward and let the stroller slide down slowly.

How to adjust the stroller backrest?

To adjust the backrest, pull the metal lever located under the backrest (sport stroller) or the plastic lever for versions with 3 positions. The backrest can be adjusted progressively or in three positions.

How to install the seat extension (carrycot)?

Place the seat extension into the safety bar supports until the plastic supports click into place. Use the snap buttons to secure the fabric and prevent the diaper bag from slipping.

What to do in case of a flat tire?

The inner tube of the tire can be repaired or replaced using a bicycle repair kit. Replace tires with worn tread.

How to adjust the baby carrier safety harness?

To loosen, adjust the adjuster buckle and pull both straps forward. To tighten, pull the tension adjustment strap located at the bottom of the carrier. Ensure the straps are not twisted and lie flat on the shoulders.

Instructions for use:

I) Positioning the child in the seat unit (Fig. A-F)

Never leave the child in the seat unit without the safety harness on, even if the seat unit is outside of the car!

• Press the red button to open the harness of the seat unit.
• Place the child into the seat unit, close the safety harness and adjust the tension.
• Make sure that the child is seated properly and its back rests against the seat unit.
• The safety harness should lay flat and firmly on the child's shoulders.
• Insert the two plastic hooks into the buckle together. An audible „click“ confirms that they have locked into place correctly.
• Tighten the front adjustment harness so that the safety harnesses of the child seat rest firmly on the child's body (harness system).

Adjusting the safety harness:

• The lengths of the harnesses (harness system) must be individually adjusted to fit the child.
• The harnesses should be in the position closest to the child's shoulders and not twisted.

You can adjust the safety harness system of the seat unit to fit the individual needs of the child in the following manner:

a) To loosen the safety harness, press the adjustment buckle on the front side of the seat unit and simultaneously pull both straps of the seat unit away from it (to the front).

b) To tighten the safety harness, please pull the part of the harness on the front side of the seat unit. Make sure that the belt is not twisted and rests gently (but firmly) on the child's body.

This seat unit is equipped with a removable support pillow for babies. This offers optimal sleeping comfort and provides support for the baby's head. We recommend using the support pillow up to an age of 5 months.

II) Using the seat unit in a car

When using the seat unit in a car, always observe the following points:

• Never use the seat unit on car seats with activated airbag. The child could be severely injured if the airbag is triggered. Danger to life and limb!
  • Always attach the seat unit in the opposite direction of the vehicle.
• The passenger seat should be positioned all the way to the back.
• Pull the seat belt of the car all the way out and pull it (lap belt) through the two belt guides located on the front side of the seat unit (see Fig. C).

• The seat unit is now correctly mounted.

III) Adjusting the transport handle

To adjust the transport handle, please press the two red buttons on the sides of the transport handle with both hands at the same time and adjust it. The buttons lock into place as soon as the next position of the handle is reached. This is confirmed by an audible „click“.

The handle can be adjusted to the following four different positions (see Fig. G):

1. Use in the car
2. Transport
3. Sleep and cradle position
4. Sitting position (no cradle function)
