slowly lift walker in an upward and
forward motion. The frame will
straighten out to unfold the walker.

both sides are back into ‘engaged’
positions.
Caution: Please ensure locks are fully engaged before use. 9

2. Pull out lock [3] and hold it in
position.

the shaft. If not, gently slide
the shaft up or down until lock engages.
Refer to 'Basic Components' section for how to adjust
arm supports.

Basic Components:
Seat & Forearm support adjustments

Lift force is controlled by mechanisms located on both the left and right of the walker.
There are two components for each side - [A] and [B].
Seat Lifting Force
Important: [A] should be adjusted equally on BOTH sides before use. Similarly for [B].
Adjustments should also only be done when child is NOT seated.
A B AB
Right Left
14

[A] controls the amount of lifting force the
child feels when sitting down. The higher the
force, the easier it will be for the child to get up.
[B] controls how smooth the transition is from
the first contact with the seat until [A] is
engaged. Decreasing [B] means it will be easier
for the child to sit down.
