Responsibility of parents
Unforeseen situations may arise when your child
uses the balance bike� Please make your child a-
ware of possible dangers� Good bike-handling
skills are necessary in order to avoid falls or cras-
hes which may injure your child or other children
playing nearby� Show your child how to use the
woom balance bike correctly and how they can use
their feet to stop safely at any time�
Warnings
When using the woom balance bike, your child
must wear sturdy, closed shoes and suitable pro-
tective equipment (children's helmet and gloves).
Never let your child ride unsupervised� Do not let
your child ride near stairs, slopes, steep terrain or
bodies of water� Never let your child continue to
ride the woom balance bike if it develops a techni-
cal defect� We use materials of the highest quality
to make our steering limiter, a device designed
to prevent children overturning the handlebars�
However, there is still a risk that under certain cir-
cumstances the rubber ring may break� If there is
ever a problem with the steering limiter, replace
it immediately� The original spare part is available
from our online shop�
Correct use
The woom balance bike is classed as a toy and
must not be used in road traffic. We recommend
the woom 1 balance bike for children who are 82–
100 cm tall and the woom 1 PLUS balance bike for
children who are 95–110 cm tall� The saddle height
can be adjusted to your child's height by opening
the seat clamp using a hex key and moving the
seat post up or down� Please ensure that your
child's legs are slightly bent at the knees and that
both feet are touching the ground� Please ensure
that your child can easily reach the handlebars�
Check the tire pressure regularly�
Brake
The woom balance bike is designed for children
aged 18 months and older� They may not yet be
able to understand the braking system and cor-
rectly operate the hand brake� As a parent, it is
important that you do not rely on your child being
able to stop whenever they want� You must make
sure that your child is always supervised by an
adult when they are riding their balance bike for
this reason�
The woom balance bike meets the requirements
and testing methods set out in the EN 71 toy safe-
ty standard and fulfills the requirements set out
in European Directive 2009/48/EC on the safety of
toys and the requirements of ASTM F963, the US
standard for toy safety�
