chassis

The chassis is the main component of the Bugaboo Cameleon. The Bugaboo Cameleon frame clicks into the chassis and becomes the base for the bassinet and seat. The parts are attached to the chassis. The chassis is comprised of the following components:

The tires of the 2 big wheels should be inflated to the correct pressure (1 bar/15 PSI) at the time of delivery. Double check this pressure before using your new Bugaboo Cameleon.

The parking brake is on the handlebar. It prevents the big wheels from turning. Always apply the parking brake when the stroller is stationary so it cannot roll away. When the handlebar is above the big wheels, the parking brake is on the right on the handlebar, with the release button on the outside.

The frame is fastened to the chassis; the chassis is then secured. The bassinet or seat is fastened to the frame. The frame has 2 frame supports, which ‘click’ onto the 2 frame bearers. The round side of the frame is always the head end of the bassinet or seat.

The carry handle fits on the frame. You can easily pick up and turn around the bassinet or seat using the carry handle. When carrying the bassinet with child by the carry handle, its position should be horizontal at all times. Place one hand at the edge of the frame to stabilize and to correct. With your other hand you carry the weight. Keep the weight as close to your body as possible.

bassinet

The bassinet consists of the frame, the bassinet fabric, with base plate, mattress and the apron. Touch fasteners ensure that the bassinet hangs securely in the frame. The child is able to lie down completely in the bassinet. This means the child’s spine is not under any stress and the child can stretch his/her legs. For use as a pram, only place the bassinet horizontally on the chassis. The bassinet can be turned around easily. This enables you to see into the bassinet and the child can look at you. The bassinet can also be used separately from the chassis. The bassinet can also be used as a nighttime sleeping bassinet.

The seat comprises the seat fabric, which is pulled over the frame. The seat fabric is fitted with back pad supports, foot support and seat pad. The seat has 2 shoulder belts, 2 waist belts, 1 crotch belt and 1 tensioning belt with metal O-rings. When fastened together, the waist belts should stay in place at the height of their attachment. You can set the seat to one of three positions. This is only possible if the seat is on the chassis. The 3 positions are: sitting, reclining and lying. The seat can be turned around easily. This enables you to see the seat and the child can look at you. The seat can also be used separately from the chassis. You can use the seat as a free-standing seat on the ground, if you fold out the frame supports completely.

The underseat bag hangs under the bassinet or seat.

various uses of bassinet and seat

You can use the bassinet from the child’s birth until the child is aged around 6 months. It is only intended for children who cannot sit or get up onto their hands and knees unaided. Do not use the bassinet for children who are longer than 76 cm/30 inches or heavier than 9 kg/19.8 lbs. You can use the seat for children older than 6 months if they weigh less than 17 kg / 40 lbs.

using the seat safety belts

The Bugaboo Cameleon seat has a 5-point harness, which is comprised of 2 shoulder belts, 1 crotch belt and 2 waist belts. Use the safety belts when the child is sitting in the seat. Prevent the child from falling out of the seat and being injured.

The standard version of the Bugaboo Cameleon comes with a sun canopy, rain cover and mosquito net, so you can protect the child against the sun, wind and rain, as well as insects. The necessary steps to make the Bugaboo Cameleon ready for use in good or bad weather are the same for the bassinet and the seat.

The Bugaboo Cameleon’s fabric is detachable and may be washed in a washing machine. Wash carefully. Before washing, ALWAYS remove the frame, reinforcements and plastic foam parts.
