Common problems with the Chicco Bravo

1. Make sure the child's tray is attached and the stroller backrest is reclined all the way.
2. Put the Chicco infant seat in so the baby faces you; on the Bravo it only fits rear-facing.
3. Push it down until it clicks on both sides.
4. Pull up on the infant seat to check it is locked to the frame.
1. Take the infant car seat off if one is attached.
2. Lift up the seat fabric to find the fold handle.
3. Slide the handle release button across, then pull up on the fold handle.
4. The legs and seat back fold down and the front wheels swivel on their own; the folded stroller stands on its wheels.
1. Push down the brake lock levers on each side of the rear wheels to lock them; pull them up to release.
2. After pressing the lever, rock the stroller back and forth to make sure the brakes have caught.
3. Chicco says not to leave the stroller on a slope with a child in it, even with the brakes on.
1. Yes. Chicco puts an expiration date on every car seat and every base.
2. Check that date before you use a seat or base with your child.
1. No. Chicco says to replace both the car seat and the base after a crash.
2. This applies even when you can't see any damage.
1. Hold the seat or base at the belt path, where the lower anchor strap or seat belt runs.
2. Pull it side to side and front to back.
3. It should not move more than an inch; if it does, uninstall it and start again.
4. You may need to adjust the angle, or switch from the lower anchors to a seat belt install, depending on your car.
