RIDER USE AND REQUIRED PARENTAL SUPERVISION
RIDERS MUST NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 40 LB (18 KG) AND
MUST BE OVER 18 MONTHS OLD.
The age grade for the ride-on toy is for ages 18–36 months. Just because your
child is within the age and weight limitations specified for the ride-on toy, does
not mean that his/her size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the ride-on
toy, or that he/she is capable of safely operating the ride-on toy. You are the best
judge of whether you or your child can safely operate the ride-on toy; this includes
determining whether your child is at the appropriate developmental stage for safe
use of the ride-on toy. Any rider that is unable to fit comfortably on the ride-on toy
should never attempt to ride it. A parent's decision to allow their child to use the
ride-on toy should be based on the child's maturity, skill and their ability to follow
rules. Remember that the ride-on toy is intended for use only by children who are,
at a minimum, able to comfortably and safely operate it.
Children operating the ride-on toy should be supervised by an adult at all times.
Parents should ensure that children only use the ride-on toy safely and within their
age and physical limits.
This manual contains very important safety information. It is your responsibility to
completely review this information and make sure that all riders understand all of
the warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics addressed in this manual
and to assure that all riders are able to safely and responsibly use the ride-on toy.
You should periodically review and reinforce all information in this manual with all
riders, especially children. You should also regularly inspect and maintain your
ride-on toy to ensure the safety of all riders. Make sure that your new ride-on toy
is properly fitted to any child riding it; that it is in good repair and safe operating
condition; that you and your child have gone over the use, operation and safety
information in this manual; that you and your child have learned and understand
what to do and what not to do with your new ride-on toy, including observing all
applicable laws, rules and common sense.
Children should be made aware of all possible riding hazards and correct riding
behavior before they ride the ride-on toy and should be supervised by an adult at
all times. Please explain the following to them as often as necessary.
