Tips
- Make sure you confirm the car seat is securely in place when you attach it to the stroller. Some travel systems have an indicative click when they are well secured.
- When in doubt about the cleaning method, always opt for spot cleaning—it works for most travel systems. However, the cleaning method for some of the detachable parts may be hand-wash only.
- It is important to confirm compatibility if you are planning to use another car seat with the stroller of your travel system. You can contact the manufacturer or supplier directly to clear any doubts.
