Help can't get Mini Mircro scooter to turn!!!

[Nimme]

Have just bought my toddler this scooter and thought we'd take it to the park today. Opened box and stuck handlebars in - great so far so good. It goes well in a straight line but it won't turn. I'm sure it's supposed to be able to turn (isn't is???). The instructions just say "make sure the steering rod is fully engaged" - how?????

Help please.

You turn by leaning in the direction you want to go - it doesn't actually turn like a steering wheel.
(although I wouldn't worry too much about the turning for a while yet - it took my DS1 (3) a good few weeks to get comfortable enough with it to be able to turn!)
Enjoy your trip to the park.

have you put the handlebars on the right way round. - My ds has a cheapo one that does steer BTW

There were some bits underneath that I have taken off - now it "leans". Hope I have done the right thing!!!!

can u link to which one you have?

This one. Have I done something disastrous?

oh i dont know anything about those ones, sorry!

Never mind. Thanks for looking though. We'll head off to park and see how it goes

you get it to turn by applying pressure on one or the other side of the T handle bar. the firmer the pressure, the tighter the turn. excellent little scooter.
