• When not carrying a child, fasten the retention system buckles so the straps do not hang loosely.
• Check child seat’s surface temperature before seating your child. Direct exposure to the sun will
increase the surface temperature, potentially burning your child.
• Mount and dismount your bicycle in a manner that allows you to maintain full control of the bicycle
and avoid striking your child with your foot as you mount.
• Ensure bicycle is stable and under your control when loading and unloading child.
• When transporting the bicycle outside of another vehicle, remove child seat. Air turbulence might
damage the seat or loosen its fastening to the bicycle, potentially resulting in failure when used.
• Dress your child warmly during use. Properly outfit your child with rain protection in inclement
weather.
• Always use an approved helmet for yourself and your child.
• Please notify your dealer for replacement if any component is missing or broken.
• A rear reflector that complies with CPSC regulations must be visible whether the carrier is on the
bicycle or not.

trouble-free use.

Hooks before each use.

PRE-INSTALLATION
•
PeaPod LT is ONLY designed to be mounted to a bicycle rear rack, an approved Xtracycle cargo
sport utility bicycle or other LongTail Standard compliant bicycle.
• PeaPod LT must ONLY be mounted to a standard bicycle rear rack or Xtracycle using the supplied
hardware. Installation on an Xtracycle requires FlightDeck, SuperHooks and Whatchamacollars.
PeaPod LT must NOT be used with the SnapDeck, TekDeck, or SnapHooks for installation or use.
Installation of PeaPod LT on an Xtracycle with anything other than the FlightDeck, SuperHooks and
Whatchamacollars will void warranty & could lead to product failure, serious injury and/or death.
• PeaPod LT must be installed to a bicyle or Xtracycle that is in good working order, able to handle
the additional load and is of proper size and adjustment for the rider. Ensure the standard bicycle
rack is properly installed. If in doubt, refer to or obtain information from the bicycle & bicycle rack

USE & CARE
•
The PeaPod LT child seat is designed to carry one child who’s age is younger than 7 years-old and
older than 12 months, who can sit upright by him/herself and weighs no more than 22 kgs/48.5 lbs.
Never exceed these limits!
• Bicycle operator’s age must be at least 18 years old.
• Ensure initially, and check from time to time, that your child’s age, size and weight are within age,
weight and fitness requirements.
• DO NOT carry a child that is too young to sit safely in the seat. Carry only children that are able to
sit unaided for a sustained period of time.
• Before use, check to ensure there are no sharp edges or objects near or in the seating area (e.g.
broken plastic).
• Before each ride, ensure the mounted carrier does not interfere with braking, pedaling, or steer-
ing of the bicycle.
• Ensure there is no possibility of child’s body or clothing contacting any moving part of the bicycle.
Avoid scarfs or clothing with long sections that may become wrapped in any moving parts.
• Ensure the child seat harness is fastened correctly and securely over child. Depending on your
child’s size, you may need to thread the shoulder harnesses through the seat in a lower or higher
position.
• Always ensure child’s feet are properly secured in foot rests and strapped in.
• Cover any exposed rear saddle springs to avoid possible pinching injury using the provided plastic
spring covers.
• Always use the restraint system. Children unable to remain calm and seated while riding are
recommended not to use the seat until able to remain calm. Also ensure the restraint system is
not loose or able to be caught in any moving parts, including the wheels.
