Full details

The Janod Brico'Kids Bear Car is designed for children aged 3 and up who love to build and imaginative play. Its key benefit is developing fine motor skills and fostering creativity through its DIY assembly and push-along functionality. A potential caveat for younger children is the need for adult supervision during initial assembly due to small parts. This FSC-certified wooden toy transforms into a rolling car, complete with a bear driver, offering a 2-in-1 play experience that combines construction with active play.

Troubleshooting

Screwdriver is difficult to use with fasteners.

Ensure the correct fastener is being used with the screwdriver. Check that the fastener is properly aligned with the hole. Adult assistance may be needed for younger children.

Wooden parts do not fit together easily.

Double-check the model card to ensure parts are oriented correctly. Gently try to align the pieces without forcing them. Ensure no debris is blocking the connection points.

Car does not roll smoothly.

Verify that the wheel axles are inserted correctly and that the wheels spin freely. Check for any obstructions around the wheel hubs or axles.

Plastic fasteners seem loose after assembly.

Carefully tighten the fasteners with the screwdriver. If a fastener will not tighten, ensure the corresponding hole is clear and the fastener is not damaged.
