3. Attach the front and rear wheel assemblies to the main frame as indicated in the packaging diagrams. Ensure all connections are firm and stable before use.

4. Operating Instructions

The BAMMAX Balance Bike is operated by the child's own movement, promoting natural development of balance and coordination.

• Sitting Position: Ensure your child sits comfortably on the seat with both feet flat on the ground, allowing them to easily push off and stop.
• Propulsion: Encourage your child to use their feet to push off the ground and propel the bike forward.
• Steering: Guide your child to use the handlebars to steer and change direction. The limited steering angle helps prevent sharp turns and tipping.
• Stopping: Children can easily slow down and stop by placing their feet firmly on the ground.
