Parent reviews of the Aprica Stick
Your questions about the Aprica Stick
How do you adjust the shoulder harness (move it up to a higher shoulder height opening as baby grows (not just adjust to be tighter)?
Heya,
You need to open the flap on the backrest and tread the plastic parts through the holes from under the fabric. Then, retread the plastic parts through the lower or higher position to adjust to the shoulders of your child. I am attaching the right page from the manual HERE and also add an image.
Where will I find fold-up/fold-out INSTRUCTIONS, please?
Hi, Hal,
Usually, you get one in the box when buying it. There are a few manuals for the Aprica Stick online, here's one to open and check the folding/unfolding system. It is not a difficult one to do, the buggy folds as your typical umbrella stroller.
What is the maximum weight recommended for the Aprica Stick Stroller?
Hi, Fiona,
The maximum weight capacity for the Aprica Stick (and most Aprica brand prams and pushchairs) is 15 kg/33 lbs.
What is the heaviest weight a baby should be for the Aprica light stroller? I know it says 0-26 months old.
Hey, Karen,
The maximum weight capacity of the stroller is there in the Specification part that opens when you click there. It is 15 kg in the seat. Do consider the seat being a shorter, not-so-roomy, so even a 15kg child might be cramped inside a little. The pushchair should be able to hold more, in my experience, but its internal space won't allow it (that is why we recommend about 2 years old to be there at the maximum).
