1. Seated Play Mode

For younger babies (6 months+), the activity panel can be detached from the walker frame for floor play. This allows babies to interact with the light-up musical keyboard, gears, and other sensory features while sitting or during tummy time.

2. Cruising Mode (Walker)

As your child begins to stand and take their first steps, the activity panel can be attached to the walker frame. The non-skid rear wheels and speed control switch provide stability and adjustable resistance, helping your child gain confidence and balance.
