Important Safety Information
• Please use this product with caution, as it requires skill to operate
safely to avoid falls, collisions, and injuries to yourself and others.
• This product is intended for outdoor use on smooth, paved surfaces.
• Never ride at night.
• Make sure your child learns how to stop safely.
•
It is a good practice to start training children very young regarding
the importance of helmet use. When children are older and riding
bicycles and faster vehicles, it is important that they use a helmet
each and every time they ride. For this reason, even while riding
a tricycle, it is a good idea to familiarize your child with helmet use,
so that it becomes a habit for life. Choose a helmet that complies
with requirements of the applicable certfiying agency for bicycle
helmets.
• Your child must always wear a bicycle helmet when using this
product in the bike mode. Helmets reduce the energy of some
impacts, minimizing or preventing head injuries. Make sure your
child’s helmet has a label stating/certifying conformance with
the applicable certifying agency and includes the intended age
requirement for use with a child. In addition, children ages 1 to
5 years require helmets specifically designed and labeled for
younger children. These helmets cover a larger portion of the
head and provide more protective coverage than other helmets
for older persons.
•
For maximum protection during an impact, the helmet must be
properly secured to your child’s head. The helmet must have a
strap that goes under the chin with a buckle that stays securely
fastened. The helmet should be worn level/low on the forehead,
not tilted back. The chin strap should be adjusted so there is
no slack and it is firmly buckled (please refer to the helmet
manufacturer’s instructions). After securing the helmet to your
child’s head, test to be sure that the strap stays tight, the buckle
remains secure and the helmet cannot be removed from your
child’s head by twisting or pulling the helmet.
• Remind your child to remove the helmet when playing on any
kind of playground equipment or any place where the helmet
may present a risk of strangulation.
• If the helmet is involved in a crash, replace it or have it examined
by the manufacturer before reuse.
To avoid serious injury:
•
Protective equipment should be worn. Use
a bicycle helmet when in the bike mode.
• Adult supervision is required.
• Never use near cars and other motor vehicles,
near streets, steps, sloped driveways, hills,
roadways, alleys, swimming pools or other
bodies of water.
• Always wear shoes.
• Never allow more than one rider.
This product contains small parts in its
unassembled state. Adult assembly is required.
