4.1 Adjusting the Handlebar

The telescopic handlebar can be adjusted to suit your height for comfortable pushing. Locate the adjustment buttons on either side of the handlebar and press them to extend or retract the handle. Release the buttons to lock it in place.

Always secure your child using the 5-point safety harness. Place your child in the seat, bring the shoulder straps over their shoulders, and the waist straps around their waist. Connect the buckles and insert them into the central buckle until they click. Adjust the straps for a snug, secure fit. To release, press the button on the central buckle.
