5 in 1 scooters: the best manufacturers and operating rules

For walks with children, some parents buy scooters. They are produced by a large number of companies and there is a huge lineup. But among all skaters, models of type 5 in 1 or as they are also called "Ladybug" differ. Today we will consider how these models are universal, how to assemble and operate them.

Children grow up pretty quickly, and they often need to buy the right things. This is also the scooter, because the child is getting taller and the roller is small. Especially for such situations, children's transformers scooters were created. They have several folding modes to fit your child’s size.

The most important difference from ordinary scooters can be called a complete set, which is much larger and more varied. It is worth noting that all the ladybug scooters are three-wheeled, so that there are two wheels in front and one in the back. This form of construction allows you to sharply turn and at the same time have full control over the control.

Most models of this kind have additional functions. Usually, these are luminous LED wheels, calls, baskets and much more. During assembly, you can read the instructions that should be in the box with the scooter. It describes the rules of operation and application. The name 5 in 1 appeared due to five key details that are present in the configuration.

Upon purchase, you will receive the following list of items:

• fastenings;
• basket in the form of a ladybug;
• parental pen;
• back;
• steering rack;
• key;
• platform with wheels;
• seat.

You will need to pull out the seat support. It is somewhat like a simple stethoscope. In order to remove it, you will need to pinch its edges (which are inserted into the grooves) and then pull out the support.

Turn the seat over. In the middle you can see several pairs of holes. If your child is very small, then install through the holes that are closer to the end of the saddle. We will consider the option with mounting in the center.

After that you will need to take the support and press it to the middle. Take one mount from the kit and then lean it against the middle of the seat. Use the few screws that come with the kit to screw the support.

Next, take the steering rack. Below you can see special latches that lock the steering wheel. Insert it into a special hole in front of the scooter. Press in the mechanism until you hear a distinctive click. He will let you know that the docking of the parts was successful.

In front of the seat is a special branching that needs to be fixed on the steering rack. It has several levels for the height of the seat. Adjust them individually for your child.

After that, you will need to insert a bolt with a nut into a special hole that will be between the end of the seat and the strut. You need to tighten both the bolt and the nut. Thus, the seat will be fixed with support to the platform and the steering wheel. If these steps are performed correctly, the structure will hold tight.

Then you will need to install the parent handle. The method is approximately the same as that of the steering rack. The handle must be pushed into the hole until it clicks. In order to make the structure even stronger, You can install a special ring between the parent handle and the seat.

This ring is a rim with a hole for the bolt. This mount must be put on the parent handle and then brought to the end of the saddle. Also under it there will be holes similar to those on which you fixed the support. Secure the ring with a bolt. In this way, the saddle will have fastenings already on three sides.

Next is the turn of the ladybug basket. In the fastener bag you will find a curved chip with four slots. To it you need to substitute the sides of the basket. They should coincide so that the holes of the chips and the baskets are at the same level. Fasteners also occur through bolts.

If your basket moves or staggers, then fix it tightly. To install the basket without any problems, tighten the screws crosswise. So the design will not move and will not bully in a specific direction.

The most recent detail is the back. Her fixation is the same as that of the basket. The only difference is that the mount contains two holes, not four.

The whole assembly process takes about 5-6 minutes. Of the tools you only need a screwdriver. It is worth mentioning that on the parent handle and steering wheel there are special buttons with which you can adjust their height. You can also rearrange the saddle in the slots of the steering wheel.

To activate it, you will need to turn the platform over and find a closed compartment. You can open it with a screwdriver, by unscrewing the bolt. Insert the batteries, screw the cover back. Different manufacturers also add parking stands or footrests.

If you are unable to build, then check to see if you are doing it correctly. It also happens that some manufacturers confuse components. Because of this, the buyer cannot fix any part to the scooter. In this case, you should contact the store where you purchased the scooter.

Since these scooters are universal, the choice is quite simple. It is worth noting that all presented models have different wheel diameters. The larger they are, the better will be the depreciation on bumps on the road. Colors and weight maintenance also vary.

Pay attention to the price. Although these models seem the same, their characteristics and prices vary. Before buying in the store, make sure that the components are intact, the package contains all the declared spare parts.

Most buyers respond positively about this type of scooter. They like functionality, long life, easy assembly and versatility. The owners are pleased that these scooters can change with the child, because all you need to do is remove unnecessary details as the user grows older.

There are also negative reviews that are associated with the mismatch of components. Some buyers were puzzled that some fasteners and bolts are not suitable for the desired holes. Thus, people could not assemble the scooter correctly due to the improper configuration of parts.

In addition to the design, buyers note that the steering wheel often travels not directly, but to the right. That is, if the child will ride on his own, then the scooter will ride in a circle. Such a roller is quite difficult to control, as a young child does not have enough strength to completely twist the steering wheel.
