Operating Instructions
Modes of Use:
- Parent-Controlled Stroller Mode (12 months+):
In this mode, the parental guide handle is attached, allowing the parent to steer and push the tricycle. The child can rest their feet on the adjustable footrests. The safety harness should always be used. The 360-degree swivel seat allows the child to face forward or backward.

- Assisted Tricycle Mode (Older Toddlers):
As your child grows, they can begin to use the pedals. The freewheel function allows the pedals to rotate independently of the front wheel, preventing them from hitting the child's legs while the parent is pushing. The parental handle can still be used for guidance.

- Independent Tricycle Mode (3-5 years):
Once your child is confident in pedaling and steering, the parental guide handle, canopy, and safety bar can be removed, transforming it into a classic tricycle for independent riding.

Adjustments:
- Parental Handle Height: Adjust the height of the parental handle using the quick-release mechanism to a comfortable pushing position.
- Seat Position: The seat can be rotated 360 degrees by pressing the release button underneath and turning. It can also be adjusted forward or backward to accommodate your child's leg length.
- Footrests: The footrests can be folded up or down, or removed entirely, depending on your child's age and ability to pedal.
- Canopy: Adjust the canopy's angle to provide optimal shade. It can also be folded back or removed.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe down the frame with a damp cloth and mild soap. Fabric parts can be spot cleaned or removed for hand washing if specified on the care label.
- Wheels: Check the inflatable wheels regularly for proper inflation and wear. Ensure they are free from debris.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of lubricant to moving parts like the pedal axle and steering mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
- Fasteners: Regularly check all screws, bolts, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are tight and secure.
- Storage: Store the tricycle in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prolong its lifespan. The folding frame allows for compact storage.
