- Rocker Mode: For the youngest children, providing a stable rocking experience with protective headrests and a safety belt.

3.2 Changing Between Modes
Specific instructions for transforming the toy between modes are typically found in the quick-start guide included with the product. Generally, this involves adjusting or removing components such as the rocker base, footrests, safety bar, and parent handle. Ensure all parts click securely into place for each configuration.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Rocker Mode (9+ months)
Attach the rocker base. Ensure the protective headrests and safety belt are securely in place. Place your child in the seat and fasten the safety belt. Gently rock the toy. Always supervise your child in this mode.
4.2 Push-and-Guide Mode (9+ months)
Remove the rocker base. Attach the removable footrest and the parent handle. Ensure the safety belt is fastened. An adult can use the handle to push and steer the toy, guiding the child. The child's feet should rest on the footrests.
4.3 Push-and-Walk Mode (12+ months)
Remove the footrest and parent handle. The rear handle provides support for children learning to walk. Encourage your child to hold the handle and push the toy forward, aiding their balance and mobility.
