Why it's dangerous
Injuries
The minimum stem insertion mark is placed incorrectly, which may affect the correct installation or adjustment of the stem with the seat. The stem could therefore detach and cause the child to fall, suffering injuries.
The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive nor with the European standard EN 71-1.
