Product care

IMPORTANT:

Ensure you follow the regular maintenance and care instructions. Pay special attention to maintenance and care of the brakes.

General Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the locking devices, brakes, harness assembly, catches, seat adjusters, joints and fixings to ensure they are secure and in full working order.
• Do not store your Redsbaby METRO ^2 in your car for prolonged periods of time, especially when it is hot as this may lead to warping some of the plastics parts and reduce the life of your product.

• The brakes and wheels are subject to wear and should be replaced as and when necessary. Brakes are available through contacting our Customer Care team at [e-mail]

• Should any parts of the Redsbaby METRO ^2 become stiff or difficult to operate, ensure that dirt is not the cause. Use a light application of a silicone spray lubricant, ensuring the lubricant penetrates between the components. Use sparingly, as excessive application may encourage the accumulation of dirt. Regular light lubrication of moving parts will extend the life of your Redsbaby METRO ^2 and make operating, opening and folding much easier.

• Do not leave the Redsbaby METRO ^2 in sunlight for prolonged periods of time, as the colour of some fabrics may fade.
• Store the Redsbaby METRO ^2 in a dry, well-ventilated and safe place.
• Do not use your Redsbaby METRO ^2 if any screws are loose or missing or if any component is damaged.

Cleaning

Plastic and metal parts

• Sponge clean with warm water and a mild detergent and then air dry.
• Do not use any abrasive or corrosive cleaning products on your Redsbaby METRO ^2 .
• Do not use products that contain alcohol, as they may cause stains, discolouring and damage to the leatherette parts on your Redsbaby METRO ^2 . This includes applying hand sanitiser to your hands or directly on the product.

Fabrics

• May be cleaned by sponging lightly with warm water and a mild detergent (ensure your child is not allergic to the detergent you use). Then air dry.
• For more instructions, follow the care labels on each fabric item.

IMPORTANT:

Do not place any fabric or other component of your Redsbaby METRO ^2 in the dryer. Allow all parts to dry thoroughly before storing.
