ASSEMBLING STROLLER

We recommend you choose an appropriate space 
for assembly. The stroller  has strong metal axles that 
could scratch hardwood floors or other sensitive 
surfaces. The stroller seat, handle, rear axle, wheels, 
canopy, and front armrest are ready to be attached 
to the frame. Instructions for attaching these items 
are described below. 

UNLOCKING & OPENING THE FRAME

To open the frame, push down and pull back on the 
frame lock connecting the rear leg to the handle 
Then, standing behind the stroller, lift the two handle 
tubes straight up ntil the frame opens and locks into 
place (Fig.2). Check by pressing down on the handle.

Be sure children are at a safe 

distance and cannot reach moving parts when ever 
opening cord  closing the stroller.
The handle and rear axle are separate from the 
frame.You will need to first open the frame before 
attaching those pieces to the frame. Place the frame 
on the floor so that the front wheel fork is facing up 
(Fig.1).

SECURING THE HANDLE TO THE 
FRAME

The plastic handle housings, into which the handle bar 
will be secured, need to be rotated evenly to face 
straight out from the main stroller tubes. To do this, press 
in the adjuster buttons , while rotating each housing into 
position. Then line up the handle bar with the open 
housings (Fig. 3). Press in on the spring lock buttons 
located on the inner-sides of the handle bar. Insert the 
handle bar into the plastic housing. Make sure that the 
spring lock buttons have popped out of the small holes 
located on inner-side of the plastic handle molding 
(Fig. 4).

Do not use the stroller if the handle 

cannot  be properly secured to the frame. Contact the 
appropriate  service center, listed after maintenance 
instructions, for assistance.To adjust the height of the 
handle, press in both adjuster buttons while moving the 
handle bar up or down into the desired position (Fig. 5).

ATTACHING THE REAR WHEELS

To install the rear wheels, pull out on the wheel 
retention wire located on the plastic wheel hub. 
While holding the retention wire out, slide the wheel 
onto the axle (Fig.8). Release the retention wire once 
the wheel slides as far as it will go onto the axle. 
(Fig. 9)Pull out on the wheel to make sure it has been 
properly installed. It should be locked to the axle. 
Repeat for the other rear wheel.

If you do not have two wheels 

with brake clogs, do not use the stroller, as those are 
your primar y brakes. Contact the appropriate service 
center, listed after maintenance instructions, for 
assistance. Before each use double check to see that 
both rear wheels are properly secured to the rear axle.

ATTACHING THE FRONT WHEEL

 
For easier access to the front fork, tilt the stroller on its 
back. Then loosen, but do not remove, the wheel 
locking lever and the tightening bolt on either side of 
the front wheel. Line up the flat sides of the front wheel 
axle with the front forks (Fig.10) and slide the wheel 
on. Facing the stroller, make sure the release lever is 
on the right-hand side. You will need to retighten both 
the release lever and locking nut. There should be 
resistance as you push the locking lever all the way 
over and down so that it is parallel to the right front 
fork (Fig. 11). If there is little or no resistance, push 
the lever back up and tighten the locking nut, then 
push the lever back down. Continue to do this a little 
at a time until the wheel is secure. Check that the 
wheel is securely attached to the front forks by tr ying 
to pull out on the wheel. It should not move out at all.

      WARNING:

 

Before each use, always check 

to see the front wheel is securely and tightly fastened 
to the front forks.  Do not use your stroller if the front 
wheel does not tightly lock to the front forks. Contact 
the appropriate service center, listed after 
maintenance instructions, for assistance.

ATTACHING STROLLER SEAT IN 
REAR-FACING POSITION

There are two plastic hooks on either edge of the 
bottom-front portion of the seat and one locking 
clamp with a red handle on the bottom-back portion 
of the seat (Fig.12). To attach the seat to the stroller 
frame in the rear-facing position, stand in 
front of and face the stroller. Lower the plastic hooks 
onto the rear suspension bar. It is helpful to hold the 
seat up at about a 45-degree angle, with the hooks 
facing down, so that you have a clear view of the 
hooks catching the suspension bar (Fig.13). Then 
lower the back of the seat onto the front suspension 
bar and press down. The locking clamp will "click" 
onto that bar as the seat locks into place. Make 
sure that both of the hooks catch the suspension bar. 
With your hands under the front and back of the seat, 
lift  up to make sure that it is properly installed. You 
should be able to lift the entire stroller by the seat.

CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF THE 
SEAT

To change the direction of the seat, first pull out on 
red handle on the locking clamp (Fig. 14). Then tilt 
the back of the seat upwards . This will release the 
locking clamp from the suspension bar. Finally, lift 
the seat back off toward you so that the plastic hooks 
disengage from the other suspension bar. Turn the 
seat around and then secure to the stroller frame as 
above, just reversing to which suspension bar the 
plastic hooks and the locking clamp are attached.

Never remove or reverse the seat 

with your  child sitting in it. This adjustment must be 
made before putting your child in the stroller. Also, 
remove canopy before making seat adjustments for 
better access and view.

ATTACHING THE ARMREST TO THE 
STROLLER SEAT

To attach the armrest to the stroller seat, line up the 
two metal inserts with the two plastic slots on both 
sides of the stroller seat (Fig.15).  Slide the inserts 
completely into these slots, making sure that both 
sides secure into a locked position. Lift up on both 
sides of the armrest to make sure they are properly 
locked into the slots. To remove the armrest, locate 
the metal tabs on the inside of the seat, positioned 
just below each armrest slot(Fig.16), and beneath the 
seat fabric. Press each  tab separately while pulling 
up on the armrest above each tab. The tabs can be 
pressed by pushing on the fabric that covers them. 
You do not have to pull the fabric away and press the 
metal surface itself. Follow the same instructions as 
attaching the armrest to attach the tray.(Fig.17)

To avoid serious injur y, ensure 

that children’s hands, arms and fee are well clear of 
the bumper bar before opening or closing it.

ADJUSTING THE SEATBACK

To lower the backrest, lift up on the plastic lever 
located in the middle of the seatback and move the 
seatback down into the desired position. Then release 
the lever to secure the seatback (Fig. 18). To raise the 
backrest, push up on the back of the  seat until it 
clicks into the desired position. 

Always keep your child in sight 

when making these kinds of adjustments. Check the 
fitting of the safety harness each time the backrest is 
adjusted to be sure a snug, yet comfortable fitting is 
maintained.

USING THE SAFETY NETTING WHEN 
SEATBACK IS FULLY RECLINED

The safety netting must be used whenever the seat 
is in a fully reclined position. The safety netting is 
stitched into a pocket underneath the footrest 
fabric.  Pull the netting out of this pocket as far as 
the stitching will allow. Then zip up each side of 
the netting so that it connects  completely with the 
footrest fabric. Finally, pull the  netting under the 
front armrest, (toward baby), and then back over 
the top of the armrest, (away from baby)  (Fig. 19). 
Be sure to pull the netting all the way around and 
down on the armrest so that it covers the metal 
insert clips of the armrest.

Your child may slip into leg 

openings and strangle. Never use the stroller with the 
backrest fully reclined unless this baby safety netting 
is looped around the armrest and secured in place. 
Only when the boot portion of the seat pad is fully 
zipped onto the seat pad, may the stroller be fully 
reclined without using the safety netting. The canopy 
must also be snapped onto the seat fabric.

ATTACHING THE  REVERSIBLE 
CANOPY

To attach the canopy, insert the plastic shafts into the 
plastic slots located on the sides of the seat (Fig. 20). 
Lift up to check that each side is locked into position. 
Whenever the seatback is in the fully reclined 
position, be sure that the canopy snaps are buttoned 
onto the back and sides of the seat fabric. The 
canopy can be converted to allow more air flow 
through the stroller. Unzip the lower half of the canopy 
from the upper half. This will leave a mesh cover that 
can snap to the back of the seat.  (Fig. 21)  To remove 
or reverse the canopy, first undo the snaps. Then press 
the release tabs, located on the plastic slots, while 
pulling up on the canopy shafts. 

Whenever the seatback is in the 

fully reclined  position, make sure that the canopy 
snaps or mesh snaps are buttoned onto the back and 
sides of the seat fabric. Do not overload the canopy 
pocket: Maximum load is 2 lbs (1 kg). Excessive weight 
may create a hazardous unstable condition to exist.

ENGAGE

Never allow your child to sit on the 

footrest. This may result in injur y to your child and / or 
damage your stroller. 

SAFETY HARNESS

Zooper provides a special 5-point harness safety 
system on all our strollers. Used properly, this harness 
will keep your child seated and safe. To secure your 
child in the harness, push buckles (A) and (B) into the 
buckle housing (C) until the buckle prongs snap into 
position. Carefully adjust slider (D) to fit snugly and 
comfortably around your child (Fig. 23).Follow the 
same procedure to adjust the shoulder straps. 
Always retighten the harness when your child is in a 
sitting up or reclined position.

      WARNING: 

Avoid serious injur y or death from 

falling  or sliding out. ALWAYS use the seat belt. NEVER 
leave your child unattended.

USING THE FRONT SWIVEL-LOCKING 
WHEEL

The front wheel is designed to turn for extra 
maneuverability on smooth surfaces, as well as to be 
locked in a fixed position for uneven terrain, hills, fast 
walking or whenever traveling over height related 
terrain changes, such as curbs. The swivel-lock is 
located, (standing behind the stroller), on the left side 
of the frame, on the inward side of the plastic handle 
housing (Fig. 25). To set the front wheel in swivel mode 
pull downward, toward you if standing behind the 
stroller, on the plastic switch. To lock the front wheel in a 
fixed position, press upward, away from you if standing 
behind the stroller, on the plastic switch. 

Always secure the front wheel in the 

locked, fixed position for uneven terrain, hills, or while 
walking at a faster than normal pace. The front wheel 
must also be secured in the fixed position whenever 
strolling onto or off of curbs or other height related 
terrain changes. The swivel mode is only designed for 
smooth, flat surfaces and a normal walking  pace.

SECURING AN INFANT CARRIER

(Fig. 28) It is possible your infant carrier will NOT be 
compatible with this stroller. Therefore, for first-time 
installation, evaluate according to these directions 
without your child in the carrier. To install the infant 
carrier, first be sure it has been removed from the car 
seat base. Also be sure the stroller seat is in the forward 
facing position. Recline the backrest of the stroller 
about  3/4 of the way down enough so that your carrier 
will fit level onto the stroller seat. Place the carrier onto 
the stroller seat so that your child will be facing you 
when you walk. The mounting notch of the infant carrier 
fits onto the front armrest, (although you may need to 
remove the fabric cover), and the front of the carrier 
rests on the backrest. If the mounting notch of your 
carrier is too small to fit onto the armrest, then position 
the entire carrier between the armrest and the backrest. 
As long as it fits level onto the seat and can be secured 
as described below, then it is still compatible with the 
stroller. The restraint safety strap attaches to the two 
metal "D" shaped rings on either side of the seat belt. 
Place the restraint safety strap through the provided 
spaces on each side of the car seat, (auto seatbelt 
path), or over the top of the carrier if your model 
does not have that opening. Now adjust the strap to 
tightly secure the carrier to the stroller. The tighter that 
you set this strap will directly affect how secure the car 
seat feels in the stroller. A well-tightened strap will be 
easily demonstrated by lifting the entire stroller and car 
seat as one solid unit, by the handle of the car seat. 

CLOSING THE STROLLER FOR TRAVEL 
OR STORAGE

Each time, before closing your stroller, check the 
following:

  

 Your child is clear of moving parts

    The rear brakes have been set
    The backrest is fully reclined
    The front wheel is in the unlocked, swivel position
    The canopy is retracted to a closed position
    All items have been removed from the basket 
underneath the stroller

To close the stroller, locate the plastic sliding 
mechanisms just below the height adjustment buttons on 
the handle (Fig. 26). Pull up on the metal secondar y 
safety latch located on the underside of the left sliding 
mechanism. With the metal latch held up, slide the 
mechanisms toward you (standing behind the stroller) 
and ease the handle down until the stroller is completely 
folded (Fig. 27). Then engage the frame lock located on 
the left side of the stroller. 

Fig.25

Fig.26

Fig.27

The restraint safety strap must 

always be tightly secured whenever an infant carrier is 
placed on the stroller. Do not use an infant carrier  
model with this stroller if it does not secure as  
described above. Infant carriers rated for weights  over 
20 lbs ( 9kg) are not compatible with any Zooper stroller 
model. Excessive weight may cause  a hazardous 
unstable condition to exist.

Only the following infant car seat 

models are compatible with this stroller: 
Graco - Snugride, Peg Perego - Viaggio, 
Britax - Companion.

SECURING THE REAR AXLE TO THE 
FRAME

Standing behind the stroller, line up the rear axle with 
the lower frame tubes. The brake levers must be facing 
out, away from the stroller. Locate the spring lock 
buttons on the inner-side of the rear axle tubes (Fig.6). 
Make sure the buttons are coming out of the 
buttonholes and are not stuck inside the tube. Press in 
on the buttons as you insert the rear axle into the frame 
openings. Apply pressure firmly and evenly on the rear 
axle.
Make sure the buttons are visible in the small holes 
located on the inside of the plastic moldings (Fig. 7). 
The spring lock buttons will not pop all the way out 
of the plastic moldings. They will, however, be visible by 
looking in the molding hole. If the spring lock buttons do 
not pop out of the holes the first time, apply more 
pressure on the axle to ease it into place. Pull down on 
the rear axle to make sure that it has locked into plac

Do not use the stroller if the buttons 

do not  properly pop out and lock the axle in place. 
Contact the appropriate service center, listed after 
maintenance  instructions, for assistance.

USING THE BRAKES

To engage the brakes, step down on each rear brake 
lever located on each rear wheel.  The brake levers 
should be facing out.  Always check that the brakes 
have fully engaged by pushing forward on the stroller 
to make sure it stays in place.  Lift the brake levers with 
your foot to release the brakes.(Fig.24)

Always engage both brakes when 

you are not holding onto the stroller and check that 
the brakes have been properly engages as described 
above.  Always engage the brakes when putting your 
child in, or taking your child out of the stroller.
