My First Skates are designed to be worn on either foot.

Protective equipment shown in this photo

is not included with this toy.

WARNING

Protective equipment should be worn.

Use helmet, wrist guards, knee pads

and elbow pads (all not included).

Not for children with a body weight

of more than 44 lbs. (20 kg).

IMPORTANT! Please take a moment to review the
following safety tips with your skater.

• Your skater should wear shoes or sneakers, not
open-toe shoes.

• Your skater should wear a helmet, knee pads, wrist
guards and elbow pads to guard against bumps and
bruises (all not included).

• Keep loose pant legs away from the wheels.

• Supervise beginner skaters. Hold the beginner’s hand
and guide the new skater along a smooth, level surface.

• Make sure your skater learns how to brake and stop
safely in these skates.

• Choose areas for skating which are free of obstacles.

• Never skate in areas with water, wet spots, snow, ice,
sand, oil, gravel etc.

• Make sure your skater never skates on streets,
roadways and driveways which enter vehicle
traffic routes.

• Towing skaters with bicycles or cars is unsafe.

• Do not skate at night.

• Make sure your skater does not skate down hill.
Braking is gradual with these skates. Your skater
should keep this in mind to allow enough
stopping distance.

• Please use with caution, as this product requires skill
to operate safely. Avoid falls, collisions, and injuries
to yourself and others.

• Before skating, check to be sure all wheels, the brake,
straps and other plastic parts are not loose, cracked,
broken or worn out. Tighten all parts as necessary.
If any parts are cracked, broken or worn out, discard
the skates.

Wheel

Control Switch

Wheel Control Switch

• Locate the wheel control switch on the side of the skate.

• Press and slide the wheel control switch to:

FULL STOP (WALK)

The second wheel completely locks.
Your skater can walk on the skates to get
used to them.

FORWARD ONLY

Your skater can roll forward. The second
wheel locks to prevent the wheel from
rolling backward. It is normal to hear
a clicking sound in this mode.

FREE WHEELING

Your skater can roll forward and
backward unrestricted.

• Make sure both skates are set to the same wheel
control position.

• The wheel control function works only when your
child is wearing and putting weight on the skate.

IMPORTANT! Your child must first learn how to
stop using the heel brake in Forward Only and
Free Wheeling modes. While leaning forward, bend
at the knees and tilt a skate, toe up. Apply pressure
to the heel brake. The heel brake stops your skater
gradually. Please be sure your skater keeps this in

mind and always allows enough stopping distance.
