For Your Safety

Only use this bicycle child's seat for its intended purpose, i.e. only mount it above the bike's rear axle by me- ans of the included mounting parts and only use it for the transport of children.

The seat is suitable for children who can already sit alone (about 9 months), and may be loaded with a maxi- mum weight of 22 kg including luggage. (Check regularly with the age of the child).

This child's bicycle seat is not suitable for fully sprung bicycles.

The child’s seat can be used for bicycles with a minimum wheel diameter of 26 inches; the diameter of the fra- me tube must be 28, 30, 32, 35 or 40 mm.

Any other use is inadmissible and may even be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for dama- ge caused by unauthorized use.

The bicycle used must be safe and correspond to the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations valid in your country. Please make enquiries if there are regulations concerning the transport of children.

If you have a special bicycle structure please ask your dealer if your bike is suitable for the use of a child's seat.

The bicycle must be suited for accepting such additional loads. Furthermore, the admissible total weight of the bicycle including child and child's seat must not be exceeded. If necessary, ask your bicycle manufacturer or supplier regarding the bicycle's carrying capacity.

If you transport your bicycle on a luggage rail on your car, you should dismount the child's seat from your bicy- cle to avoid exceeding the carrying capacity of the luggage rail.

When attaching the seat to a bicycle that has a saddle stem with suspension please take into account the di- stance between the seat and the suspension spring. You should ensure that the child’s fingers cannot reach the spring thus avoiding the danger of injury.

Please note that the riding behaviour of the bicycle changes when the child’s seat is used (irrespective of child being transported or not). Owing to the higher centre of gravity the bicycle's behaviour may change unfavou- rably and the bicycle's dirigibility may be impaired. For this reason, ride carefully – in particular with regard to braking and evading manoeuvres. Also avoid riding with one hand only.

Pay attention that the child does not handle any objects (e.g. toys) which might get caught in the wheels. Clo- thes or extremities of the child should never be able to get caught in turning parts or in the brake and transmis- sion system.

This should be checked regularly as the child grows older.

Protect your child from sharp edges of your bicycle, from worn cables and other parts that might lead to inju- ries.

Before going on a ride, and during breaks, you should check that the seat is firmly attached, and also check all components for potential damage and loose connections (screws, connections, safety belts etc.).

Attention: Only transport the child with the safety belt correctly and firmly fastened and the foot straps closed. Have a check during breaks that those safety devices are still in place.

Even if no child is carried, close the seat belt to avoid it getting caught in turning parts or catching on items that are passed during the ride.

Pay attention to suitable and sufficiently warm clothing of your child. Children who are sitting still normally cool down faster than the rider.

We recommend that adult and child wear suitable helmets.

Adjust the headrest so that its upper edge matches the child's ear level.

If in doubt or if you have any further questions do not hesitate to contact your specialized dealer.

Attention: Do not attach additional luggage to the child's seat. If necessary, use a carrier for the front axle in or- der to obtain a balanced load. Please note that the carrying capacity of bicycle and child's seat are not ex- ceeded.

Attention: The seat must not be modified. The child’s bicycle seat meets all required safety regulations. Repair works done by non-experts and alterations to the construction (dismounting original parts, attachment of parts without approval etc.) may cause harm to the user.

Attention: Please note that the riding behaviour of the bicycle may change with a child in the seat, especially
