Welcome to the Phoenix Buggy User Guide
The Phoenix Buggy has been designed to provide a robust,
transportable mobility solution for children from 6 month to 4 years.
The seating system gives good support from a very early age, but is
very light, making the parents lives easier. The seat removes and
the stroller base also folds for storage or stowage, improving your
convenience.
The appearance is designed to look as normal as possible on the high
street. It is, in fact, based on a high street stroller.
Please read this User Guide before using your Phoenix Buggy for the
first time. If you have any further questions after you have read the
User Guide, please contact your dealer. Retain the User Guide for
future reference and for other stroller users.

SAFETY NOTES
Please read this user guide fully before using your stroller.
Expert medical advice must be sought before using your stroller. If you have any doubt about this speak
to your Occupational Therapist.
Before using the stroller it is essential to check that the Frame Catch is locked, and that the Tilt-in-
space mechanism is tightened.
Each attendant should be familiar with the operation of the stroller. If there is any doubt they should
read this User Guide.
Before setting off, ensure that the occupant is comfortable, and that clothes and rugs are tucked in, so
that they do not catch on the wheels.
Always apply the parking brake when the stroller is stationary and when getting in and out of the
stroller.
Never tip the stroller forward when going down a kerb.
If the stroller is going to be used for transport in a vehicle you should carefully read the Transport
Section of this User Guide.
The attendant must take precautions against fire risk. In buildings, check the locations of fire exits and
make sure the emergency procedures are understood.
Do not let children play with, or hang on the stroller.
Do not use your stroller in a manner for which it is not designed.
Ensure that children are clear of moving parts before making adjustments.
Patron Bohemia, Activate, and your dealer, cannot accept responsibility for the use of accessories
other than those supplied by them.
Full concentration must be maintained during travel to avoid collisions or other dangerous situations.
Make sure that the stroller brakes are applied while adjusting the tilt of the seat. This will leave both
hands free to operate these features, avoiding sudden movements which will cause discomfort to the
occupant.
The seat base attachment must not be released while the stroller is occupied. Make sure that the seat
is empty before removing the seat or changing its direction of travel.
Do not overload the stroller. Other children should not ride on the back of the stroller, or loads
attached to the frame other than on the approved accessories.
Ensure that the occupant has the appropriate harness attached and adjusted to prevent them from
falling out of the stroller while travelling. The attendant should know how to fit, adjust, and release
these features.
Do not stand on the footrest
Never leave the child unattended in the stroller, even for the shortest time.
At all times when operating the stroller, be aware of the danger of injury to yourself, the occupant or
any other person, especially when going through doorways.
Patron Bohemia, Activate, and your dealer, cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage or injury
resulting from the incorrect operation of your stroller.

Take care to avoid trapping fingers!
Always keep a firm grip on the stroller while folding or unfolding.
