Using the Y Velo Flippa is a breeze. For the push trike mode, simply let your child sit on it and use the easy - steering feature to guide them around. To turn it into a balance bike, 'twist and flip' and take off the pedals. If you want to use the balance bike with a push handle, fold the back two wheels together and put the parent's handle back on. When your child is ready for independent riding, just remove the handle. Make sure your child is within the age and height limits (2 years and up, 14 - 16 inches). Don't let a rider heavier than 44lbs use the bike. To keep it in good condition, regularly check the wheels, handlebar, and seat for any loose parts. Wipe it clean after use, especially if it gets dirty or wet.
