COMFORT, PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY

Now that your KidRunner is assembled, it’s time to adjust each component for 

COMFORT,  

PERFORMANCE and SAFETY. 

GEEK SPEAK:

✓

The patented innovation that enables high performance, comfortable, hands and arms free running with kids 
is driven by a combination of weight/balance and Harmonic Dampening. Combined, they insulate the motion 
of your running from the COCKPIT and your WAIST HARNES creating a smooth, comfortable ride. The next 
few steps outline how to adjust the best weight/balance of your KidRunner relative to the size/weight of your 
kid and your height. When tuned correctly, KidRunner feels 

like it’s, “floating” behind you 

but be prepared to 

take a few runs and keep adjusting until you find the, “Sweet Spot”…
