Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Taxi Cab requires no assembly; it arrives ready for play immediately after being removed from its cardboard packaging. To maintain the appearance and longevity of the wooden body, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to extreme heat. If the car becomes dusty, simply wipe it down with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the water-based paint or the clear urethane coating. If the wheels collect lint from carpet, a quick wipe with a slightly damp cloth will restore their traction.
