Child seat

• When a child seat is installed, ensure the seat suspension

is fully covered.

• When a child seat is installed ensure that all moving parts

are covered, e.g. using a spoke protector.

Figure H-2: Transporting children in a child seat with seat

protection (left) and in a child trailer with passenger compart-

ment and the pennant flag required by law (right). The child is

strapped in.

Child trailer

• Keep in mind that your bicycle is significantly longer with

the trailer system attached.

• Transport a maximum of two children in the child trailer.
• Install on the trailer fully operational lights which correspond

to regulations.

• For the child’s safety, choose a trailer with a restraint system.
• Ensure that you equip the trailer with a luminous-coloured

pennant flag on a flexible flagpole with a minimum height of

1.5 m and install covers for the spokes and wheel housings.

• For maximum safety, select a model with a sturdy passenger

compartment and safety belts.
