Operating Instructions
Adjusting the Seat
- 360° Rotation: To rotate the seat, locate the release mechanism (usually a lever or button beneath the seat). Engage the mechanism, rotate the seat to the desired direction (forward or parent-facing), and ensure it locks securely into place.
- Backrest Recline: The backrest can be adjusted to different angles for your child's comfort. Use the recline lever or strap located behind the seat to set the desired position.
Using the Parent Push Handle
- Height Adjustment: Press the adjustment buttons on the sides of the push handle and slide it up or down to your preferred height. Release the buttons to lock it in position.
- Steering: The parent push handle allows you to steer the front wheel of the tricycle. Apply gentle pressure to guide the tricycle.
Free Wheel Function
- To activate the free wheel function, locate the clutch mechanism on the front wheel (often a button or switch near the pedal axle). Engage it to allow the pedals to spin freely without moving the wheel, preventing injury to your child's feet while you push.
- To deactivate, disengage the clutch to allow the child to pedal and propel the tricycle.

Foot Brake
- The foot brake is located near the rear wheels. Press down on the brake lever to engage it and prevent the tricycle from moving. Lift the lever to release the brake. Always engage the brake when parking or when the tricycle is stationary.
Canopy Adjustment
- The canopy can be adjusted to provide optimal shade. Extend or retract it as needed.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the tricycle regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws, bolts, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten any loose parts immediately.
- Storage: Store the tricycle in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation. The foldable design allows for compact storage.
- Lubrication: Moving parts may benefit from occasional lubrication with a silicone-based spray, avoiding contact with plastic or fabric components.
