Mimi LUNO Stroller Setup Guide

Posted by Angie Hough on March 25, 2026

Setting up your Mimi LUNO stroller correctly helps ensure the frame, wheels and locking mechanisms are ready for everyday use.

Before placing your child in the stroller, always check that the frame is fully open, all wheels are securely attached and all locking points are properly engaged.

See how to assemble the Mimi LUNO stroller for first-time setup.

Quick Answer

To set up your Mimi LUNO stroller:

Place the folded stroller on a flat, stable surface.
Release the folding lock.
Unfold the chassis until the frame opens fully.
Install the front wheels.
Install the rear wheels.
Check that all wheels are securely attached.
Confirm that all locking mechanisms are fully engaged before use.

A click can confirm initial engagement, but you should still check that the frame, wheels and locking points are secure before placing your child in the stroller.

Before You Start

Before assembling or checking the stroller, make sure the setup area is safe and clear.

Keep your child away from the stroller during setup.
Use a flat, stable surface.
Keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts.
Remove loose packaging, bags or accessories from the setup area.
Do not force any component into place.
Check the product manual if any step feels unclear.

Why Correct Setup Matters

The LUNO stroller frame, wheels and attachment points must be correctly locked before use.

Correct setup helps with:

Stable stroller use during everyday outings.
Predictable folding and unfolding.
Secure wheel attachment.
Correct use with the stroller seat, carrycot or adapters where applicable.
Reducing avoidable setup issues before the first outing.

The stroller should operate smoothly when correctly assembled. If something feels restricted, loose or unstable, stop and check before use.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Unfold the Stroller Frame

Place the folded stroller on a flat, stable surface.

Release the folding lock.
Lift the handlebar upward using controlled movement.
Continue until the frame opens fully.
Listen for the locking click where applicable.
Check that the frame is fully open and stable.

The frame must remain stable and must not collapse, shift or feel loose when lightly checked.

2. Install the Front Wheels

Align each front wheel with the correct wheel housing.
Push the wheel upward until it clicks into place.
Gently pull downward to confirm it is locked.
Repeat on the other front wheel.

Do not use the stroller if a wheel does not lock securely.

To remove a front wheel:

Press the front wheel release button.
Pull the wheel downward.

3. Install the Rear Wheels

Align each rear wheel with the rear axle.
Push inward until it clicks into place.
Gently pull outward to confirm it is locked.
Repeat on the other rear wheel.

Do not use the stroller if either rear wheel feels loose or does not lock clearly.

To remove a rear wheel:

Press the rear wheel release button.
Pull the wheel away from the frame.

4. Check the Brake

Engage the brake while the stroller is on a stable surface.
Confirm that the stroller does not roll when the brake is engaged.
Release the brake and check that the stroller moves normally.

Do not use the stroller if the brake does not hold securely.

5. Check Everything Is Secure

Before first use, complete a full setup check.

Confirm the frame is fully locked open.
Confirm all wheels are securely attached.
Check that the brake works correctly.
Check that no fabric, straps or loose items are caught in the frame.
Confirm the stroller feels stable when lightly pushed.

Adding the Seat, Carrycot or AVARO Adapters

Once the stroller frame is open and the wheels are correctly installed, you can attach the correct component for your setup.

LUNO Stroller Seat

Align the stroller seat with both frame attachment points.
Lower it evenly onto the frame.
Confirm both sides are securely locked before use.

LUNO Carrycot

Align the carrycot with the frame attachment points.
Lower it evenly onto the frame.
Confirm both sides are securely locked before placing your baby inside.

The LUNO carrycot is for lie-flat newborn outings outside the vehicle and must not be used for car travel.

AVARO Infant Car Seat

Use the correct car seat adapters where included.
Attach the adapters to AVARO first.
Then connect AVARO to the LUNO stroller frame.
Confirm both sides are secure before use.

AVARO is the R129 / i-Size infant car seat for rearward-facing vehicle travel from 40 to 87 cm and up to 13 kg. AVARO-on-LUNO use is for short compatible car-to-stroller transitions.
