How to use
Before first use, check that all fasteners are securely tightened, the training wheels are correctly mounted and the coaster brake functions properly. Adjust the saddle height so the child can place the balls of their feet on the ground while seated and reach the handlebars comfortably. Teach the child to start by pushing with feet on flat ground, use the pedals to gain momentum and apply the coaster brake by pedaling backward to stop. Supervise initial rides until the child demonstrates consistent balance and control without assistance.
Usage recommendations
Use the HUFFY Cars 12" on smooth, level surfaces such as sidewalks and paved paths; avoid busy roads and steep slopes. Remove the training wheels gradually when the child can maintain balance and steer independently. Regularly inspect the bicycle for loose bolts, worn grips or tire damage, and follow basic maintenance: keep tires inflated to the recommended pressure, clean moving parts, and lubricate the chain as needed to ensure safe operation.
