Setup and Assembly

The Infantino Senso 3-in-1 Discovery Car comes largely pre-assembled. Minor setup may be required for battery installation and adjusting the handle height.

1. Battery Installation: Locate the battery compartment, usually on the underside or rear of the car. Use a screwdriver to open it. Insert 2 AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment securely.
2. Handle Height Adjustment: The handle is adjustable to accommodate different stages of your child's growth. Refer to the operating modes section for recommended heights. Press the release buttons on the sides of the handle and slide it to the desired position until it clicks into place.
3. Wheel Locking Mechanism: For the Sit & Play and Stand & Play modes, ensure the wheels are locked to prevent the car from moving. Locate the wheel locks (typically levers or buttons near the wheels) and engage them. Unlock for the Walk & Push mode.

This 3-in-1 Discovery Car adapts to your child's developmental stages:

1. Sit & Play Mode (6+ Months)
