Stage 1: Toddler Trike (12-18 months)
In this stage, the trike functions as a parent-controlled stroller. All accessories are typically in place to ensure the child's safety and comfort.
- Configuration: UV canopy, wrap-around tray, headrest, 3-point safety harness, footrest, and parent push handle are all attached.
- Operation: The parent steers and pushes the trike using the adjustable push handle. The child's feet rest on the footrest.
Stage 2: Steering Trike (18-24 months)
As your child grows, some accessories can be removed, but parent control remains primary.
- Configuration: Remove the headrest. Keep the UV canopy, wrap-around tray, 3-point safety harness, footrest, and parent push handle attached.
- Operation: The parent continues to steer and push. The child may begin to show interest in the handlebars.

Stage 3: Learn-to-Ride Trike (2-3 years)
This stage introduces independent pedaling and steering, with the parent push handle still available for assistance.
- Configuration: Remove the UV canopy and wrap-around tray. The 3-point safety harness can be removed if the child is stable. The footrest can be folded or removed as the child learns to pedal. The parent push handle can remain attached for guidance or removed for full independence.
- Operation: The child begins to pedal and steer independently. The parent can still guide the trike using the push handle if needed.

Stage 4: Classic Trike (4-5 years)
The trike transforms into a traditional tricycle for independent riding.
- Configuration: All removable accessories, including the parent push handle, are detached.
- Operation: The child rides the trike completely independently, pedaling and steering on their own.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Radio Flyer 4-in-1 Stroll 'N Trike.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the trike with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Tires: The high-density foam tires do not require inflation. Inspect them for wear or damage.
- Storage: Store the trike in a dry, protected area away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your trike, consider the following:
- Loose Parts: If any part feels loose or wobbly, re-check the assembly instructions and tighten all fasteners.
- Steering Issues: Ensure the parent push handle is correctly engaged for parent steering, or disengaged for child steering. Check for any obstructions in the steering mechanism.
- Pedaling Difficulty: Verify that the pedals are correctly installed and not obstructed. For younger children, ensure the footrest is properly positioned or removed if they are learning to pedal.
- Unusual Noises: Inspect all moving parts for foreign objects or signs of wear. Lubricate moving joints if necessary with a child-safe lubricant.
