Welcome to Your Walker Assembly Guide

Thank you for choosing our walker! This guide will help you assemble your walker efficiently. If you have any questions, please consult your instruction manual or contact our consumer experience department at 1-800-230-8190. Remember, this guide complements your instruction manual, which contains essential information.

Getting Started

Before you begin, ensure you have all the components. If your walker’s toy station requires batteries, you’ll need a Phillips screwdriver for installation. Otherwise, no tools are necessary. Remove all zip ties and packaging from the parts.

Assembling the Frame

Start by identifying the right and left side support legs. A helpful tip: when assembling, the screws should face each other inside the frame. Insert the legs into the bottom of the tabletop by pressing down on the silver locking pin. Ensure the pin is fully engaged by pulling to check the connection. It’s normal for the legs to have slight movement, which aids in assembling the remaining parts.

Attaching the Base

Next, find the base and insert the leg tubes similarly. Ensure the locking pins engage securely by pulling on the connection. Now, locate the backrest for the seat. Insert the clips on each side into the side holes and press down on the top of the backrest to snap it into place.

Installing the Seat Pad

Locate the seat pad, which has eight anchors around its edge. The tallest part of the seat pad is the back. Place the seat pad over the backrest, feed the anchors through the slots, and pull from the bottom to secure them. Repeat this for each anchor around the seat pad. A tip: align all anchors with the slots first, then push them through and secure them underneath.

Adding the Toy Station

If your walker includes a toy station, it may require batteries. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the battery compartment, insert the batteries as specified in your manual, and close the compartment securely. Insert the toy station into the tabletop’s front indentation. Align the tabs with the tray slots, push them into the holes, and press downward until you hear a click.

Additional Features

Locate the link loops and insert them into the holes on either side of the toy station tray. These loops allow you to add more toys. To adjust the seat as your baby grows, find the buckles on the bottom of the seat pad. Unbuckle to lower the seat for a smaller baby, or choose from two buckled positions for a larger baby.

Removing the Toy Station

To remove the toy station, use a flathead screwdriver. From underneath the table, push the tabs to release the toy station. Pull from the top while using the screwdriver to release tabs from below. If your toy station differs, simply press the buttons on either side and lift simultaneously.

Disassembling the Walker

To disassemble, hold the top of the leg frame near the tabletop. Push the silver locking pins with one hand while pulling straight back with the other hand. A tip: pulling straight back makes it easier to remove the side legs. Then, remove the base by disengaging the silver locking pins and detaching the legs.
