Hi Barbara, I just submitted two images in a review that show the folding instructions. But if you don't find them. 1. Push the lock sliders on rear wheels towards the wheels as much as possible and carefully push the legs forward until folded and locked. 2. Push finger tab down with one hand while simultaneously folding down the front wheel until it locks down. Good luck.

They have youtube videos on it but for the back wheels you can pull the plastic part of the legs down in the direction of the wheel. The front wheel can be folded down by sliding the oval under the seat toward the back of the seat and it will release the front wheel. Apply some force to the handle bars and they should push down and click into the holder at the back of the seat. Good luck :)

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

hello! yes I did. There are the instructions stamped on the back...press the small (don't know the name) and WITH THE OTHER HAND (it's impossible to do it with the same one) pull out the compartment. It has to work! ;) bye

Its tricky at first. Twist it and fold backward but don't force it cause it will go by itself. You will have three loops and may have to adjust the sizes. Takes practice but once you get it a couple of times you'll find it easy. Had to do it standing up at first half dozen times. Now can do it sitting in the car.

I think it would be difficult to explain, in writing, how to fold a folding bike. I suggest doing a YouTube search such as "How to fold a Dahon folding bike." Best wishes -- I like my Dahon Boardwalk folding bike!

I don't see how you can fold it without removing the handle/bar. It was tough to unfold out of the box. I suppose you could. Maybe with time, it gets easier to unfold. I had to use my body weight to unfold it.

Just barely 'tap' that little button at the side of the top step. Don't force, just a 'baby-touch' moves it to the folding position. That's all it takes. Then it will fold closed again. Write back if you can't get it. It's easier than it seems! (That little button moves a lever.) Got it yet? :) I hope so. :)

I have not yet folded down, but it appears that you have to unscrew handlebar to bring down, and you would have to remove seat to fully fold down.

Oh, I can relate to this predicament!! The very first time I used it, I had a very difficult time folding it. Even got someone to help me to no avail because it's meant for one person to fold. What I did to make it easier is, I made sure the material was tucked in place and the zipper is open just a bit to let the air out and not create any air pockets. Once it was neatly folded to a flat position, I grabbed 2 corners and twisted them inwardly. The best way I can describe it is, if you assign a number to each corner (sorry I have to do this since I can't draw a diagram for you here) so each corner is 1, 2, 3 and 4. I have my hands on corners 2 and 4 and with some force, I twist inward creating a circle and that's it. It all fit in it's case and after the first time, it was much easier to fold the other times I've used it. Folding it is very similar to those car windshield visors. Well, I might have confused you more than I helped... so, good luck!!

when the package gets dropped off you can roll the box end for end or you could unpack it and take the pieces to the assembly location. After it is assembled you just lift the seat end (light end) and the pedal end rolls where you want it to go. Hope this helps

The handle bar folds over by releasing the swivel clasp at the bottom, then you slide it to the left I believe. It's spring loaded so it's kind of hard. While you are pushing it over you can fold it down.

The bike is quite easy to fold and unfold after the first time. Once you know where to fold, it's simple. Sorry I don't have a photo of the bike folded. Highly recommend the bike.

I was stuck on how to disassemble the rack for a couple of minutes also. I don't have it in front of me right now to give you a better explanation, but I remember pushing in the parts that fold. I think I just gave it a little wack like it was the inside of an elbow. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. Ill try and add to this later when I go home this weekend.

it should have directions on the zip up bag it came in. follow the directions and keep trying. its a pain sometimes but when I'm about to give up I seem to get it. good luck

Just pull it open - it clicks into place. When you are done, just fold it back up. You might have to push a little extra the first time, but it will be fine after that.

Let me try to remember, there should be a red tab on the side of the stroller (where the handle meets the frame), pull it upward. The stroller folds straight down. If it doesn't work just comment back and I'll go look at my stroller.

I ended up looking up on youtube on how to fold it. Pulling down the handle located on handle and then you have to push it up back up into the handle. Hope that helps.
