Using the PAW Patrol Aircraft Carrier HQ is easy and fun. First, you can place the included Chase action figure and his police car rescue vehicle on the carrier. To activate the transformation, simply push down on the command center. Watch as the control room goes up and the deck splits. Push the meteor core to make it light up and play sounds. When it's time for a rescue mission, load your vehicle onto the launch ramp and press the launch button. You can also use the projectile launchers to clear away obstacles. As for maintenance, keep the toy away from water and rough play to avoid damage. If it gets dirty, you can use a dry or slightly damp cloth to clean it. Make sure small parts are not swallowed by kids. Have a great time playing with your PAW Patrol Aircraft Carrier HQ!
