Proper Fit And Size Adjustments; Safety - Dynacraft TALKING THOMAS TRIKE Manual

PROPER FIT AND SIZE
ADJUSTMENTS
When properly adjusted, the rider should be able to pedal
comfortably and steer with both feet remaining on the pedals at all
times. If the rider has to stretch to reach the pedals or is too cramped,
the seat should be adjusted for or aft accordingly.
WARNING:
If you are too small or too large to comfortably reach the pedals
or handlebars, do not ride the tricycle. As a parent, you are the
best judge of whether your child can safely operate the tricycle;
this includes determining whether your child is at the appropriate
developmental stage for safe use of the tricycle. Any rider that is
unable to fit comfortably on the tricycle should never attempt to ride
it. A parent's decision to allow their child to use the tricycle should
be based on the child's maturity, skill and their ability to follow rules.
Keep the tricycle away from small children and remember that it
is intended for use only by those who are, at a minimum, able to
comfortably and safely operate the tricycle.
Children operating the tricycle should be supervised by an adult at
all times. Parents should ensure that children only use the tricycle
safely and within their age and physical limits.
WARNING:
bolts and clamps that affix the handlebars, seat and rear wheels
can cause you to lose control and fall. When properly tightened,
you cannot twist the front wheel out of line with the handlebars or
move the saddle out of adjustment. If you can twist or force these
components to come off by hand, re-adjust and properly retighten
the screws and bolts.

SAFETY

HELMETS.
Although not every state or municipality requires
juvenile-age cyclists to wear a helmet, Dynacraft strongly recommends
you wear a properly approved helmet, such as ANSI or SNELL, even if
the law does not mandate the use of a helmet.
Keep feet on the pedals at all times while riding in the seated
position. Do not ride more than one person at a time. Never use
near steps or swimming pools.
