Setup
The Farmstand See & Bee Steering Wheel is designed for two stages of play: tummy time and seated play. The steering wheel mechanism can be tilted to adjust for your baby's comfort and developmental stage.
- For Tummy Time (Stage 1): Gently push the steering wheel down until it locks into a flat position. This allows your baby to interact with the toy while lying on their tummy, encouraging head lifting and reaching.
- For Seated Play (Stage 2): Gently pull the steering wheel up until it locks into an upright position. This configuration is suitable for babies who can sit independently, allowing them to engage with the toy from a seated posture.
