Operating Instructions
The Alphabet Train offers multiple ways to play and learn:

2. Walker Mode
As your child begins to stand and walk, the train can be used as a walker. The sturdy handle provides support, and the motion sensors activate sounds and music as the train moves, encouraging your child to take their first steps.
