Storage

Store your Switchback Seat, Switch&Roll stroller, or Switch&Jog jogger in a location that is out of direct sunlight and environmental elements.

Frame, seats, handle grips & wheels

Wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent and dry thoroughly, or hose wash. Do not use abrasives.

If the Switchback Seat or any of the frames have been exposed to salt water, rinse with fresh (tap) water as soon as possible to avoid corrosion.

If exposed to sand, use a soft brush to gently brush sand from the Switch&Roll stroller or Switch&Jog jogger parts and cycle the components until the sand is ejected and they move freely.

For an all-over wash, remove accessories and wheels, then rinse with a hose. Allow to completely air dry.

Never use a power washer on any components of the Switchback System.

Removable Switchback soft seat pad

Wipe with a damp cloth and a mild detergent and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasives.

The seat pad may also be removed for machine washing on a gentle cycle in cold water with mild detergent. Dry flat and away from direct sunlight before re-use or storage.

Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
