4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1. 3-in-1 Transformation Modes

The tricycle adapts to your child's developmental stage:

• Stage 1: Stroller Mode (Parent-Controlled)
  In this mode, the child is secured in the seat with the safety harness, the canopy provides sun protection, and the footrest supports their feet. The parent controls direction and movement using the push bar.
• Stage 2: Learning Tricycle Mode (Assisted Riding)
  As the child grows, the canopy and footrest can be removed. The push bar remains for parental assistance, allowing the child to practice steering and pedaling while still having support.
• Stage 3: Pedal Tricycle Mode (Independent Riding)
  Once the child is confident in pedaling and steering, the push bar can be removed, allowing for independent riding.
