Assembly Instructions
Assembly is required. Please follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to have a second adult assist during certain steps.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and verify against the components list.
- Attach Rear Wheels: Securely attach the two rear wheels to the tricycle frame using the provided hardware. Ensure they are firmly in place and rotate freely.
- Install Front Wheel and Pedals: Insert the front wheel assembly into the designated slot on the frame. Attach the pedals. Ensure the freewheel mechanism is functional (allows pedals to remain stationary while the tricycle moves).
- Mount Seat and Backrest: Position the seat onto the frame and secure it. Adjust the backrest to the desired recline level.
- Attach Parental Steering Handle: Insert the parental handle into the rear of the tricycle frame. Adjust its height for comfortable steering. Ensure the steering control mechanism is engaged.
- Install Sun Canopy: Attach the sun canopy to the designated points above the seat. Adjust its angle for optimal sun protection.
- Attach Footrests: If needed for younger children, attach the ergonomic footrests to the sides of the front wheel assembly. These can be removed later as the child grows.
- Secure Storage Basket and Bottle Holders: Attach the storage basket to the rear and the bottle holders to the handlebar or parental handle.
- Final Check: Before first use, double-check all screws, bolts, and connections to ensure they are tight and secure.

Operating Instructions
For Younger Children (6 months - approx. 18 months):
- Ensure footrests are attached and the child's feet are comfortably placed on them.
- Secure the child using the 5-point safety harness.
- Use the parental steering handle to control direction and movement.
- Engage the freewheel function so pedals do not rotate with the wheel, preventing injury to the child's feet.
- Adjust the sun canopy to protect the child from direct sunlight.

For Older Children (approx. 18 months - 3 years):
- Remove the footrests if the child can reach the pedals comfortably.
- Disengage the freewheel function to allow the child to pedal independently.
- The parental handle can be removed once the child is confident in steering and pedaling on their own.
- Always ensure the safety harness is used until the child is fully capable of maintaining balance and control.

Braking:
The tricycle is equipped with a brake mechanism, typically located near the rear wheels or controlled via the parental handle. Engage the brake to stop the tricycle or to keep it stationary when parked.

Maintenance
Cleaning:
Clean the tricycle regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the materials. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storage.
Storage:
Store the tricycle in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions can degrade materials and components.
Inspections:
Periodically inspect all parts for wear, damage, or loose connections. Pay close attention to the wheels, pedals, steering mechanism, and safety harness. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately. Ensure the freewheel mechanism is operating correctly.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Pedals are not turning the front wheel. | Freewheel function is engaged. | Disengage the freewheel function (refer to assembly instructions for specific mechanism). |
| Tricycle feels unstable. | Loose assembly bolts or damaged frame. | Inspect all bolts and connections for tightness. Tighten as necessary. If the frame is damaged, discontinue use and contact support. |
