carrier may degrade or damage the Bicycle Seat
(particularly the bicycle attachment mechanism)
to the point that it will not perform reliably, which
could result in an accident or serious injury.
• The rider of the bicycle must be a minimum of 16
years old with good bicycle riding and han-
dling skills.
• Always check whether there are any laws
specific to the carrying of children in Bicycle Seats
attached to bicycles that apply in the country in
which the Bicycle Seat is used.
• Do not carry a child who is too young to sit
comfortably, safely, and independently in the
Bicycle Seat. Carry only children that are able to
sit unaided for a longer period of time, at least as
long as the intended cycle journey (A pediatrician
should be consulted before any child younger
than one year is carried).
• Do not attempt to carry more than one child in
the Bicycle Seat.
• Ensure initially, and check from time to time,
that the child's weight does not exceed the load
limit of the Bicycle Seat (refer to the "Maximum
Capacities" section).
• Ensure that it is not possible for any part of the
child's body, clothing, shoelaces, or toys to come
into contact with any moving part of the Bicycle
Seat or bicycle and re-check as the child grows.
Particular dangers include entrapment of feet in
the wheel and of fingers in brake mechanisms
and sprung saddles.
• Always attach the 5-point harness snugly around
the child, ensuring they are restrained in the
Bicycle Seat.
• Ensure that the restraint system is not loose or
able to become trapped in any moving parts,
particularly the wheels. When no child is being
carried, fasten the retention system buckles so

that the straps do not hang loosely.
• Ensure the rider and child are wearing suitable
bicycle helmets that meet applicable safety
standards.
• Children in the Bicycle Seat need to be more
warmly clothed than riders of bicycles and should
be protected from rain.
• Check any excessive temperature (e.g. due to
direct exposure to sun) of the Bicycle Seat before
placing the child in it.
• Never ride in inclement or hazardous conditions.
• Never ride the bicycle at night without adequate
lighting.
• Ensure that the free end of the Safety Strap
cannot contact the wheel of the bicycle. If needed,
excess webbing material can be wrapped around
the Seat Tube multiple times before securing
the buckle.
• When riding for the first time with the seat fitted,
conduct a test ride in a safe environment before
riding with traffic.
• Recommended maximum speed limits:
– 15 mph (24 km/h) on smooth, straight roads
– 5 mph (8 km/h) when turning or on uneven roads
