Operating Instructions
The QPLAY Prime Tricycle offers multiple configurations to support your child's development:
Stage 1: Parent-Facing Mode (Approx. 6-18 Months)
In this mode, the seat faces the parent, allowing for direct interaction. The backrest can be reclined for naps. The child's feet rest on the central foldable footrest.
- Seat Rotation: To switch between parent-facing and forward-facing, use the swivel mechanism located under the seat.
- Reclining Backrest: Adjust the backrest to one of three levels for optimal comfort.
- Safety Harness: Always secure your child with the 5-point safety harness.
- Safety Bar: Ensure the safety bar is closed and locked.

Stage 2: Forward-Facing with Parent Handle (Approx. 18-24 Months)
The seat is turned to face forward, allowing the child to observe their surroundings while the parent maintains control with the telescopic handle.
- Parent Handle: The telescopic parent handle allows for steering and pushing.
- Pedal Lock: Engage the pedal lock system to prevent the child from pedaling independently.
- Footrests: The central foldable footrest can be used, or the child can place their feet on the removable footrests.

Stage 3: Tricycle with Parent Handle (Approx. 24-36 Months)
The child can begin to pedal independently while the parent still has the option to steer and assist with the handle. The safety bar can be removed.
- Pedals: Unlock the pedal system to allow the child to pedal. The pedals are anti-slip.
- Removable Safety Bar: The safety bar can be removed as the child gains confidence.
- Canopy: The extendable anti-UV canopy provides sun protection.
