GENERAL INFORMATION
Rear child seat for children weighing a maximum of 22 kg; periodically check that the child does not
weigh more than this.
Only use with children able to remain seated on their own for a long time without requiring support (1
to 7 years of age approx.).
Use on bikes that have 26”-28” diameter wheels that can support additional loads of at least 27 kg.
Refer to the bike manual or retailer.
Support bracket for circular section frames (from 25 to 46 mm.) and a wide range of oval section
frames. Read Table 1 carefully .
Seat equipped with mounting system comprising support fork and welded post.
Check that the distance between the symbol indicating the barycentre on the external sides of the child
seat and the axis of the wheel is less than 10 cm to avoid tipping.
Do not mount the child seat so that it leans forwards. Lean it slightly backwards in order to hold the
child in more effectively.
Mount the child seat facing front.
Do not use the child seat on motorcycles, racing bikes or bikes with suspensions.
Check that none of the child’s or cyclist’s limbs or clothing risk being caught in the moving parts of the
bike or the child seat.
Check that the child cannot poke his/her fingers into the springs on the back of the bike saddle. Use a
saddle cover or a saddle with internal springs.
Check that the child cannot poke his/her fingers or feet into the spokes on the bike wheel. We
recommend the use of a wheel guard.
Check that the child can not reach sharp or cutting edges (e.g. frayed brake cables)
Always fasten the child in using the straps and the ties on the foot rests.
Check that the child is always wrapped up warmly enough, more than the cyclist and that he/she is
protected in the event of rain.
It is mandatory for the child to use an approved helmet suitable for his/her head size.
Never carry two children at the same time.
The cyclist must be at least 16 years old.
Always fasten all the straps, even when there is no child being carried.
Check that the straps do not reach the wheels or other moving parts on the bike, both with and without
child on board.
Never leave the child seat in the sun: the heated plastic could burn the child.
Remove the child seat from the bike each time the latter must be transported on the outside of a vehicle
