The walker offers three adjustable height positions to ensure your child's feet can comfortably touch the floor. To adjust the height:

1. Locate the height adjustment mechanism on the underside of the walker.
2. Press the release buttons or levers (refer to your manual for exact location).
3. Raise or lower the seat to the desired position. Ensure both sides click securely into place.

For easy storage or transport, the walker can be folded flat:

1. Ensure the child is removed from the walker.

The interactive toy bar requires batteries for lights and sounds. (Battery type and quantity are typically specified on the toy bar itself or in the manual).

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the toy bar.

3. Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
4. Replace the cover and secure it with the screw.

6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Bright Starts Giggling Safari Walker.

• Frame and Toys: The plastic frame and attached toys can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse the toy bar in water due to electronic components.
• Wheels: Periodically check the wheels for any accumulated dirt, hair, or debris that may hinder smooth movement. Clean as necessary.
• Storage: When not in use, store the walker in a clean, dry place, preferably folded flat to save space.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Bright Starts Giggling Safari Walker, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Walker not moving smoothly: Check the wheels for any obstructions (e.g., carpet fibers, hair) and remove them. Ensure the walker is on a suitable flat surface.
• Toy bar not producing sounds/lights: Verify that the batteries are correctly installed and not depleted. Replace batteries if necessary. Check the volume switch to ensure it is not set to the 'off' position.
• Difficulty adjusting height or folding: Ensure all locking mechanisms are fully disengaged before attempting to adjust or fold. Do not force components. Refer to the assembly section of your manual for specific instructions.
