Operating Instructions
Riding the Bobby Car:
The BIG Bobby Car Classic is a foot-to-floor ride-on toy, designed to help children develop motor skills and coordination.
- Seating Position: Children can sit comfortably on the ergonomic seat. For older children, the integrated knee recess allows them to kneel on the seat, providing more legroom and a different riding posture.
- Propulsion: The child propels the car forward by pushing off the ground with their feet.
- Steering: The easy-grip steering wheel controls the front wheels, allowing for smooth turns and a small turning circle thanks to the Ackermann steering system.
- Horn: The steering wheel includes a mechanical horn for added fun and interaction.
Trailer Coupling:
The Bobby Car features trailer couplings at both the front and back. This allows for attaching compatible BIG Bobby Car trailers or other accessories (sold separately) to expand playtime possibilities.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the Bobby Car with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic.
- Storage: Store the Bobby Car in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan and prevent material degradation.
- Inspection: Regularly check the wheels, steering mechanism, and overall body for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Ensure all components are secure before each use.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Wheels not turning smoothly | Debris caught in axles; worn wheels | Clean axles; inspect wheels for damage and replace if necessary. |
| Steering feels loose or unresponsive | Loose connection in steering column | Check the connection point of the steering wheel to the body and ensure it is firmly seated. |
| Car tips easily | Improper use; uneven surface | Ensure the child is using the car on a flat, stable surface. The low center of gravity is designed for stability, but extreme maneuvers can still cause tipping. Always supervise children. |
