Quick answer
To install the ladder rack on a Baghera pedal car, first confirm the spare part is compatible with your model, then attach it using the provided hardware and a simple hand tool. The whole job takes about 10 minutes.
Why install a ladder rack?
A ladder rack adds a realistic utility look to your child's Baghera ride-on and gives them a place to carry small toys or pretend gear. It is a purely cosmetic accessory that does not affect how the car pedals or steers.
Compatibility matters
The Baghera Ladder Rack (reference 1665) is designed for specific Baghera models. Before ordering, check your car's model number or measure the mounting area to ensure the rack fits. Installing a mismatched part can damage the car body or leave the rack loose.
Installation steps
- 1. Check the parts: Open the ladder rack package and lay out all pieces: the rack itself, mounting brackets, screws, and any washers. Compare them with your car's existing holes or mounting points. Missing a bracket? Stop and contact Baghera support before proceeding.
- 2. Position the rack: Hold the ladder rack against the rear of the pedal car where you want it mounted. Most Baghera models have pre-drilled holes or molded slots for this accessory. Line up the rack's brackets with those holes. If no holes exist, do not drill into the car — the rack is only intended for compatible models.
- 3. Insert and tighten screws: Push the screws through the brackets and into the car's mounting holes. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to tighten each screw evenly. Do not overtighten — plastic threads can strip easily. Overtightening is the most common mistake. Stop when the rack feels snug and does not wobble.
- 4. Test the fit: Gently tug the rack in all directions to confirm it is secure. Let your child sit in the car and move normally to ensure the rack does not interfere with their legs or the steering. A loose rack can pinch fingers or fall off during play. Recheck screws after the first week of use.
