country where you want to use it.
* The seat is intended for children of approximately nine months to six years
of age, who weigh at the maximum 22 kg.
* Regularly check that the weight of your child does not exceed the
maximum allowable weight.
* The total weight of the cyclist, the child and the seat must not exceed the
total maximum load of the bicycle. Check the information from the bicycle
manufacturer.
* When installing the seat, follow the instructions for tightening the bolts
(torque) that are included in the installation instructions (Figures 5M and
7M).
* After installing the seat, check that it does not tilt forward, to prevent the
child from slipping out of it. Make sure that the backrest leans somewhat
backwards.
* If the seat is attached to the carrier, ensure that the front of it is always
anchored with the safety belt to the frame of the bicycle (not to the
carrier!).
* After installing the seat, take a test ride with your child. Check that all parts
of the bike work as normal after the seat has been installed. Check that
the bike rides well, that your child is correctly seated, that all components
have been securely installed and that the footrests are at the correct
height.
* Adjust your saddle to a height that allows you to easily put your feet on the
ground when getting on and off your bike.
* Always use the safety belt and the foot straps.
* When riding, check that no part of your child's body or clothing gets near
to rotating or moving parts of the bike, for instance a foot in the spokes or a
finger near the brake mechanism. Regularly recheck this as the child gets
older.
* If you use a sprung saddle, ensure that your child's fingers cannot be
pinched between the spring coils by installing guards around the springs.
These guards are available from quality bicycle shops.
* Make sure that the child cannot come in contact with sharp objects, like a
frayed cable.
* Always close the three-point safety belt, also if there is no child in the seat. If
there is no child in the seat, closing the belt avoids loose parts of it ending
up in moving parts when cycling.
* Ensure that your child is dressed sufficiently warmly and is protected
from rain. During a bicycle ride, your child sits still and is therefore more
susceptible to the cold.
* Preferably let your child wear a correctly fitting safety helmet to increase
his/her safety.
* If the seat is left in the sun a long time, it can become very hot. Therefore,
check this before putting your child in the seat.
* Remove the seat when transporting your bike on a car bike carrier. Due
to air turbulence, the seat or its attachment can become detached and
possibly cause an accident.
WARNING
* Do not attach additional baggage to the child's seat. If you want to carry
baggage, use a carrier attached to the handlebars.
* Never change anything to the seat or the supplied attachment, otherwise
you will influence safety when the seat is used and the guarantee will
lapse.
* Take into account that the bike handles differently when you transport a
child, in particular the balance, the steering and the braking.
* Never leave your child unattended in the seat if you park your bike
somewhere.
* Do not use the seat if there are visible damage or defects present.
MAINTENANCE
* Regularly clean the seat using a soap solution. You can wash the
upholstery by hand using a mild detergent.
* Regularly check whether all of the fastenings, etc. are still tight.

* After an accident, the seat must always be replaced, also if there is no
visible damage. Contact your supplier for more information.
* If a part of the seat is defect or damaged, contact your supplier for advice
or repair.
