Assembly Instructions

Before assembly and each use, inspect the product for damaged hardware, loose joints, missing parts, or sharp edges. Do not use if any parts are missing or broken. Contact Fisher-Price® for replacement parts and instructions if needed. Never substitute parts.

Step 1-2: Assemble Frame

1. Position each side rail so the button faces outward. Insert the seat back tube into the socket in each side rail. While pressing the tabs on the ends of the seat back tube, continue to insert it into the side rail sockets until the tabs "snap" into place. Ensure you hear a "snap" on each side. Pull the seat back tube up to confirm it is secure.

2. Fit the cross brace between the side rails as shown.

Step 3-4: Attach Cross Brace

3. Insert a screw through each side rail and into the ends of the cross brace.

4. Fit a retainer with lock nut onto the end of the screw and to the inside of a side rail. Tighten the screw. Hint: If the lock nut has fallen out of the retainer during shipment, fit it into the hexagonal hole with the rounded side facing out. Repeat this procedure for the other end of the cross brace.

Step 5-6: Attach Front Tube

5. Locate the hole in each side rail. With the vibrations unit facing forward, fit the front tube to the side rails. Hold the front tube in place.

6. Insert a #8 x 1¼" (3 cm) screw through the outside of each side rail and into the ends of the front tube. IMPORTANT: Follow step 7 carefully to completely secure the front tube.

Step 7-8: Secure Front Tube and Attach Kickstand

7. Fit a retainer with lock nut onto the end of the screw and to the inside of a side rail. Tighten the screw. Repeat for the other end of the front tube.

8. Position the assembly face down. While pressing the tab on each end of the kickstand, insert the kickstand into the receptacle in each side rail. Push until the tabs "snap" into place. Pull the kickstand to ensure it is secure.

Step 9-10: Attach Pad and Complete Assembly

9. Turn the assembly upright. Fit the upper pocket on the pad onto the seat back tube. Fasten the pad buckles around each side rail.

10. Turn the hardboard over and insert it into the slot in the front edge of the pad. Fasten the pad buckles on the front edge of the pad and underneath the seat, ensuring a "snap" on both sides. Press the fasteners together in the seat back portion of the pad. Assembly is now complete.

Battery Installation

For Toy Operation (2 x LR44 batteries):

• Loosen the screws on the toy's battery compartment door. Remove the door. Dispose of exhausted batteries safely.
• Insert two new LR44 alkaline button cell batteries.
• Replace the compartment door and tighten the screws.
• When sounds become faint or stop, it's time for an adult to change the batteries.

For Vibrations Unit Operation (1 x D LR20 battery):

• Locate the battery compartment on the bottom of the vibrations unit.
• Loosen the screw in the battery compartment door. Lift to remove the door.
• Insert one "D" (LR20) alkaline battery.

• IMPORTANT: Low battery power can cause erratic operation (no vibrations, product may not turn off). Remove and discard the old battery, and replace with a new "D" (LR20) alkaline battery.

We recommend using alkaline batteries for longer battery life.
