Using this trike is a breeze. First, assemble it according to your child's age and needs. For younger kids, keep it as a tricycle with the pedals attached. As your child grows older, use the patented wheel mechanism to transform it into a balance bike. When adjusting the saddle or parent handle, make sure to lock them firmly to avoid any movement. Always fasten the 5 - point harness when your child is riding to ensure safety. The anti - UV canopy can be attached or detached as needed, providing protection when you're out in the sun. When not in use, store the pedals in the designated storage area to keep them safe. Clean the trike regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the TPR parts. Check the wheels and all the adjustable parts periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, stop using the trike and contact customer service.
