Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Fire Engine comes ready to play straight out of the box, requiring no complex assembly. It is specifically designed to be compatible with other figures in the Budkin series, allowing children to expand their rescue team. To maintain the wood's finish, keep the toy in a dry environment and avoid submersion in water. If cleaning is necessary, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dust; avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scrubbers, which could damage the non-toxic paintwork.
