6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Qaba Toddler Tricycle, refer to the following common solutions:

• Tricycle feels unstable: Check all assembly points, especially the handlebar and seat connections, to ensure they are securely tightened.
• Wheels do not spin freely: Inspect the wheels for any debris or obstructions. Ensure the wheel axles are not overtightened during assembly.
• Pedals are stiff: Check for any foreign objects obstructing the pedal mechanism. A small amount of lubricant can be applied to the pedal axle if necessary.
• Child cannot reach pedals: Adjust the seat position forward to ensure the child's legs can comfortably reach and operate the pedals.
