Be aware of exposure hazards such as wind-chill and heat exhaustion by
less-active trailer passengers in prolonged exposure in colder
temperatures, or by extended periods in warmer temperatures without
adequate ventilation and hydration.
Use extra caution when turning on uneven pavement, and going
downhill.
Do not ride over curbs. Avoid bumps and holes. Always signal your turns.
Do not travel on the highways, busy streets or in areas unsafe for
bicycling.
Do not use trailer in snow or icy conditions.
Do not travel or descend at high speeds.
Do not exceed 16km/h, because high speeds adversely affect your ability
to control the bike and to notice road irregularities.
Do not allow any of the child’s body, clothing, shoe laces, or toys to come
in contact with moving parts.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PASSENGERS
The safety of your child is of great concern. The trailer seat is intended for
passengers older than 12 months and able to wear an approved helmet.
Your children must be able to hold their heads upright. Check with your
pediatrician to make sure your child’s development makes him or her a
suitable passenger in this trailer. Make sure that your child is seated
securely and the harness is properly engaged. The child’s sitting height
should be below the crossbar, and the correct shoulder strap height must be
used.
