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 means
of the included mounting parts and only use it for the transport of children. Please observe the legal provisions
of your country.
■
The bicycle child's seat is suitable for children who can sit still on their own for the duration of the journey (mini-
mum age: nine months). The maximum permitted weight (including bags) is 22kg. Please check the weight and
size of your child regularly to make sure that you do not exceed the permitted maximum weight.
■
This child's bicycle seat is not suitable for fully sprung bicycles.
■
The child seat is suitable for bicycles with a minimum wheel diameter of 28 INS and a frame height from 47 cm.
Lower wheel diameters and frame heights must be checked in individual cases. Furthermore the child seat can
be used with a frame tube diameter of 28, 30, 32, 35 and 40 mm.
■
Any other use is inadmissible and may even be dangerous. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage
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 sup-
plier regarding the bicycle's carrying capacity.
■
You must remove the child's seat from the bike before transporting it on a car bike rack. If you do not, the very
high air resistance can lead to damage to the bike and the child's seat, the load capacity of the rack could be
exceeded and accidents could potentially be caused.
■
When attaching the seat to a bicycle that has a saddle stem with suspension please take into account the distance
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 unfavoura-
bly and the bicycle's dirigibility may be impaired. For this reason, ride carefully – in particular with regard to bra-
king and evading manoeuvres. Also avoid riding with one hand only.
■
Ensure that the child cannot handle items (e.g. toys) that can get caught in wheels etc. and that no parts of clo-
thes or the body can access the moving parts of the bike or child's seat (e.g. brakes, spokes, saddle springs, etc...).
Use a saddle spring protector if your bike saddle has saddle springs. Otherwise, your child could get his/her fin-
gers caught in them. Always use the foot straps. Tuck away dangling belts, parts of clothes and similar carefully.
■
Protect your child from sharp edges of your bicycle, from worn cables and other parts that might lead to injuries.
■
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. It is therefore imperative that you dress your child in warmer clothing than the rider.
