Product Assembly Instructions

1. Install Wheels:

   First, insert an axle through one wheel and one yellow cylinder. Ensure the deeper hole in the wheel faces outward, and the larger end of the yellow cylinder goes inside the body. Maneuver the cylinder until it locks into place.

   Insert another yellow cylinder and one wheel onto the open end of the axle. Ensure the deeper hole in the wheel faces outward, and the larger end of the yellow cylinder goes inside the body. Maneuver the cylinder until it locks into place.

   Cover with a fastener, with the spindle side up and aligned with the hole in the axle, then insert the spindle through the hole in the axle. Place a cover over the fastener, aligning the holes in the cover with the holes in the fastener. Insert two screws into the cover and tighten with a screwdriver. Repeat this process for the second wheel.

   This step details attaching wheels to the main body using axles, cylinders, fasteners, spindles, and screws. The deeper hole of the wheel should face outwards, and the cylinder locks into the body.

2. Attach Handlebars:

   Insert the left and right handlebars into the designated holes on the sides of the dashboard activity panel. You will hear a loud 'click' sound, indicating they are securely fixed.

   The handlebars are inserted into the sides of the dashboard panel until they click, ensuring a secure fit.

3. Attach Dashboard to Body:

   Snap the dashboard activity panel onto the main body. You will hear it click into place. Ensure the dashboard activity panel is securely attached to the body.

   The assembled dashboard unit is attached to the main body of the toy by snapping it into place.

4. Assemble Parent Handle:

   Insert the handle grip into the middle support. Attach each side piece by pushing down the locks on the side piece and inserting the male parts of the handle grip and middle support into the corresponding female parts of the side piece. You will hear the side pieces click into place.

   The parent handle is assembled by connecting a grip and middle support with side pieces, secured by locks.

5. Attach Parent Handle to Body:

   Place the bottom of the parent handle onto the back axle at a 45-degree angle, then rotate the handle up to connect to the rear of the seat. Lock the parent handle in place by tightening the large screw.

   The assembled parent handle is attached to the rear axle at an angle and then secured to the seat area with a large screw.

Product Conversion

1. Convert to Rocker Mode:

   Press and hold the green button (?) on the side of the seat. Loosen the large screw (?) on the parent handle, then rotate the handle to a horizontal position under the body. Push the handle into the two locks under the front wheels. You will hear a click to indicate the parent handle is secure and can be used as rocker blades.

   To make it a rocker, the parent handle is folded under the body and locked into place using specific points on the front wheels, activated by a button and screw release.

2. Convert to Ride-On Mode:

   Squeeze the two locks under the front wheels to disconnect the parent handle. Rotate the handle to a vertical position behind the body. Secure the handle by tightening the large screw (?).

   PLEASE NOTE: The parent handle is designed for parental use only. This product should not be used by a child as a push toy.

   To convert to a ride-on, the parent handle is disconnected from the front wheel locks, rotated to a vertical position behind the seat, and secured with a screw.

3. Remove Parent Handle (Ride-On Mode):

   Press and hold the green button (?) on the seat and unscrew the large screw (?). Move the handle to a 45-degree angle and remove it from the axle.

   The parent handle can be removed by releasing a button and unscrewing it from the rear axle.

4. Remove Dashboard Activity Panel:

   Turn the main body over and squeeze the green locks (?) inside, under the activity panel. Remove the dashboard activity panel from the body.

   To avoid injury caused by the lock on the neck of the body, please keep the body out of your child's reach when playing with the dashboard activity panel by itself on the floor.

   The dashboard can be detached from the main body by accessing and releasing internal locking mechanisms from underneath.
