3.2 Adjusting the Handlebar
The handlebar can be adjusted for height and reversed to change the seat direction. To adjust the height, locate the release buttons on either side of the handlebar. Press these buttons and slide the handlebar up or down to your desired height. Release the buttons to lock it in place.

The extendable sun canopy provides ample coverage. Pull the canopy forward or push it back to adjust the level of shade. The canopy also features mesh sidewalls for improved airflow, which can be covered for warmth or opened for ventilation.
