Tips & Advice
Based on customer troubleshooting questions we have received.Parking Brake will not lock
If you are new to the product you are pehaps being too timid with the lever and need to push it down harder until you hear a 'click', this is now locked.
When you first use your Ergo Lightweight Pushchair the brake cable has not been stretched at all, so the lever may offer more resistance than later in it's life.
The tension can be adjusted, now or later to adjust the firmness of the brake.
Safety Harness has come off (and cannot get it back on)
Not complicated to fit the Safety Harness (once you know how).
To fit the Safety Harness:
- Standing behind the pushchair drape the Vest part of the harness over the front of the seat (as if someone in the seat) and with the shoulder straps over the back of the seat.
- Take the RIGHT hand waist strap and feed under the fabric below the armrest, then around the back feeding between the frame and the brake cable.
- Clip the right hand waist strap to the left hand shoulder strap.
- Take the LEFT hand waist strap and feed under the fabric below the armrest, then around the back feeding between the frame and the brake cable.
- Clip the left hand waist strap to the right hand shoulder strap (so the two straps cross over on the back of the seat.
- Unclip the two sides of the vest to allow a child to put their arms though, then clip up to secure.
- It is helpful to clip the vest together before folding the pushchair otherwise it may come unthreaded, fallen off or be tangled up when the pushchair is next used.
Static Electricity Shocks
An electrical charge can build up in the pushchair. It is formed by movement between the materials in the pushchair and fabrics worn by the occupant. (for example wool is more likely to build up a charge than cotton)
The rubber wheels insulate the pushchair from the ground preventing the electrical charge from discharging normally so it builds up until it can find an alternative route - you.
It isn't a health hazard but the shock is an unpleasant surprise.
It is quite common for people to get a static electiric shock from cars which again are insulated by rubber tyres.
The solution for your pushchair may be the same as for a car - an Anti Static Strip (not expensive) which keeps the metal frame in constant contact with the ground to prevent electrical charges building up. Readily available from Halfords and many other shops.
