Learn the proper way to fold and store your Gen7Pets Grey Shadow Regal Plus Pet Stroller to save space, protect the canopy zippers, and keep it ready for the next walk.
Quick answer
To fold the Gen7Pets Grey Shadow Regal Plus Pet Stroller, release the canopy locks, collapse the frame using the central release lever, and secure it with the built-in storage latch. Store it in a dry area away from direct sunlight to protect the fabric and zippers.
Why proper folding matters
The Gen7Pets Regal Plus Pet Stroller has a Smart Canopy with hidden front steel bar and Smart Zippers that should not be forced when the frame is partially collapsed. Folding in the correct order prevents zipper snags and keeps the canopy enclosure safe for your pet.
Storing the stroller fully collapsed also saves significant floor space in a closet, car trunk, or mudroom.
Steps to fold and store your stroller
- 1. Empty and secure the stroller: Remove your pet, any toys, bags, or blankets from the storage compartment. Close all zippers on the canopy so nothing catches during folding. A common mistake is leaving a zipper partially open, which can snag when the canopy collapses.
- 2. Release the canopy locks: Locate the two canopy lock clips on each side of the frame near the handle. Press the release buttons and fold the canopy down flat against the seat area. If the canopy does not lower smoothly, check that the hidden steel bar is not caught on the fabric edge.
- 3. Collapse the frame: Stand behind the stroller and pull the central release lever (usually a red or black tab under the seat). Push the handlebar down while pulling the front wheel assembly inward until the frame clicks into the folded position. Do not force the frame. If it resists, confirm the canopy is fully flat before trying again.
- 4. Engage the storage latch: Once the frame is fully collapsed, hook the built-in storage latch (a small plastic or metal clip attached to the frame) to keep the stroller from unfolding during transport or storage. Without the latch engaged, the stroller may spring open in a trunk or closet.
- 5. Store in a dry, shaded area: Place the folded stroller in a closet, garage, or car trunk away from direct sunlight and moisture. Sunlight degrades the canopy fabric over time, and moisture can rust the frame joints. For long-term storage, cover the stroller with a breathable cloth to keep dust off without trapping humidity.
