3. Assembly Instructions

The BIG Premium Push Bar is designed for easy assembly. It attaches to compatible BIG Bobby Car models using a fixed coupling pin.

Steps for Assembly:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
2. Prepare Bobby Car: Position your BIG Bobby Car on a flat, stable surface.
3. Attach Push Bar Base: Align the base of the push bar with the designated attachment point on the rear of the BIG Bobby Car. The coupling pin, which is pre-fixed to the push bar, should slide into the corresponding slot on the Bobby Car.
4. Secure Connection: Push firmly until you hear a click or feel the connection is secure. Verify that the push bar is stable and does not wobble excessively.
5. Install Steering Lock Adapter (Optional): If you wish to lock the Bobby Car's steering, insert the provided adapter into the steering mechanism as per the Bobby Car's specific instructions. This allows steering solely through the push bar.

4.2. Steering Control

The push bar allows adults to steer the Bobby Car effectively.

• Direct Steering: Gently push the handle in the desired direction to guide the Bobby Car.
• Steering Wheel Lock: If the steering lock adapter is installed, the Bobby Car's front wheels will be fixed, and all steering input will come directly from the push bar. This is particularly useful for maintaining a straight path or navigating specific routes.

The movable side protection ensures the child's safety and comfort.

• Engaging Protection: Once the child is seated, lower the side protection arms to secure them in the seat. Ensure they are properly latched.
• Disengaging Protection: To allow the child to exit, simply fold the side protection arms upwards.
