How do you put on the string? My son tried and while he can do tricks, it doesn't retract. Is this normal?

you need open the yoyo and put your string, did you sand my yoyo ? becouse it never got here

For this yoyo it is "unresponsive" which means that the yoyo does not come back to the hand with a simple pull. In order to have the yoyo come back to the hand you have to do a "bind". http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=npYfNhkzbaE this video will show you how :)

At the bottom of the string there is a loop, so to put it on the barring you unwind the loop and slide it in. As to get it back up, being an unresponsive yo-yo, you need to do a "bind" (look it up on YouTube) in order to get the yo-yo to come back up.

It doesn't retract normally because it is an unresponsive yoyo. What he needs to learn is how to bind the yoyo. There are many instructional videos online as to how to do a bind.

This particular yoyo requires you to bind to get it to snap back. Look up yoyo binding techniques.

Make sure you are using the lever to make it retract. Mine stopped retracting and I had to send it back. The send it back it me in two weeks and it's working now.

The only problem I have had is the same as others when it does not fully retract. I resolve this by doing what they did, and that is to pull it out further and then retract it again. I have never had a problem of not retracting at all, and have had ours for about 3 years.

u need to adjust the weight in the slide(tan piece that makes it go up and down). sometimes its too heavey and if that doesn't work, you have to manually slide the tan piece yourself. For some reason when you dive, it goes to far down on the string.Just slide tan piece back half inch to the right and you can dive and climb again. just try not to hold dive button down to long. I have two and it happens on both.

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

Hi Dr. Mark it is really hard to do it. I was unable to do it. I had to have my brother come and help me and try to figure it out. He was able to do it but then just last week after one week of it staying on it fell down. I wish I could help you with it but you just need to turn it and then it is suppose to hold. The directions are very poor so it does not help much. Sorry.

This might sound obvious, but have you tried reclining it a bit more? Also you may have the shoulder traps slightly too high, they should be at or slightly below his shoulders. This has never been a problem for either of my sons, I hope you get it figured out and end up loving your Pavilion as much as we do! Good luck!

You will have to re-string it backwards but it would work. if this his first guitar , use nylon strings and not steel ones. ( easier on the fingers). order strings and re-string when it arrives.

Did not have this problem yet. Have a problem with the strings always breaking. I guess wood glue could do it.

Follow the instructions. I had my kids help me during the stringing portion as it was too tricky for one person to do.

When my elastic string broke I got a shoe string and stapled it to the top . I then tied the toy to the height I wanted and it worked good. Good Luck

You might need to lower the strings. If too high, one or some might not be exact when holding down all.

Just untie the string and pull the plastic part (lock) that holds the string, down. I tie the string in a bow so it is easy to untie.

My son does both but I see him tripping and falling off bc of his pants so try to encourage him to take off first. It guess depends on child but I try to encourage him to take it off first.

My daughter doesn't complain but I see her struggle with it and then simply use her right hand. Found this thread while trying to figure out how to rig it up for her. I just used a round hairband (like a rubber band) and extended it out. It seems pretty sturdy - we are traveling with it so if it holds up I will let you guys know.

Ok, so I tried today and like Lara D. said, it does come off. You have to pull REALLY hard, but it does come off and you won't break it. It goes back on easier than it comes off. Thanks to Lara D. for your help and giving me confidence to pull at that darn head really hard!

The video is on YouTube and the guy gives a physical demonstration stringing the bow by bracing the already hooked opposite end around is ankle while using his leg to provide a fulcrum for bending the bow back towards himself so it can be strung.. Clear as mud? It's really quite simple and intuitive.
