SAFETY PRECAUTIONS during operation and maintenance.
Parents/adult supervisors read this page first.
PARENTAL AND ADULT RESPONSIBILITY AND SUPERVISION ARE NECESSARY
Because scooters can be hazardous -- and not every product is appropriate for every age or size of child -- different age
recommendations are found within this category of product which are intended to reflect the nature of the hazards and the
expected mental or physical ability, or both, of a child to cope with the hazards. Parents and supervising adults need to select
riding products appropriate for the age of the child and take care to prevent children who may be too immature or inexperienced
for a product’s characteristics to endanger themselves around it.
PARENTS/SUPERVISING ADULTS MUST ASSEMBLE AND INSPECT THIS PRODUCT, AND MUST TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SAFELY RIDE
THIS SCOOTER. If the rider fails to use common sense and heed these warnings, there is an increased risk of damage, serious injury
or possibly death.
Age and Weight Limits
• Not for children under age 3.
• Maximum rider weight 22 kg (48 lb).
• Rider weight does not necessarily mean a child’s size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the scooter.
• A parent’s decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child’s maturity, skill and ability to follow rules.
Razor Jr. products are intended to allow younger children to learn and to enjoy their early experiences using ride-on toys. Studies suggest
that children at age 3 have the coordination required to use a steering wheel or handlebar and can use a 3-wheeled scooter, but may not
have developed the balance required to operate 2-wheeled scooters. This ability is expected to develop with time and experience to where,
depending on experience, most children by the age of 5 have the balance and coordination to use 2-wheeled scooters. Adult supervision
is required as children learn and grow because children do not understand the risks of riding in areas with cars and are at a very high risk of
falling and injuring themselves.
USE SCOOTERS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE.
WARNING. To avoid serious injury:
• Protective equipment should be worn. Not to be used in traffic. 22 kg max.
