Product Overview

The Smoby BE FUN Blue 2-in-1 Push Along Trike is designed to adapt as your child grows. It transitions from a parent-controlled push-along trike to an independent pedal tricycle.

5. Attach the Rear Storage Basket: Secure the basket to the rear of the trike.
6. Final Checks: Verify all screws, bolts, and connections are tight and secure before first use.

Operating Instructions

The trike offers two primary modes of operation:

1. Push-Along Mode (Parent Control)

This mode is ideal for younger children (15+ months) who are not yet ready to pedal independently. The parent controls steering and movement.

• Engage Steering Lock: To allow the parent to steer, engage the steering lock mechanism on the front fork. This prevents the child from steering the handlebars.

• Engage Free-Wheel System: To prevent the child's feet from being caught by rotating pedals while being pushed, engage the free-wheel system on the front wheel. This allows the pedals to remain stationary while the wheel turns.

• Adjust Parent Handle: The parent handle can be adjusted for comfortable pushing.

2. Tricycle Mode (Child Control)

As your child grows (approx. 30+ months) and develops coordination, the trike can be converted for independent pedaling.

• Remove Parent Handle: Detach the parent handle from the trike.
• Disengage Steering Lock: Unlock the steering mechanism to allow the child to steer the handlebars.
• Disengage Free-Wheel System: Engage the pedals with the front wheel so the child can propel the trike by pedaling.
• Adjust Seat: Adjust the seat position to ensure the child can comfortably reach the pedals.
• Rear Tipper Skip: The rear basket can be used by the child to carry small toys.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the trike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the trike in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and moving parts for tightness and wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Lubrication: Moving parts may benefit from occasional lubrication with a child-safe lubricant.
