The Yepp® Maxi Easyfit is suitable for:
• Fig.1 (A) fitting to an Easyfit luggage carrier* or
• Fig.1 (B) fitting in combination with the Yepp Maxi Easyfit carrier.
The Yepp Maxi Easyfit is suitable for carrying children up to a
maximum weight of 22 kg / 48 pounds including child, pack and
contents.
• The Yepp Maxi Easyfit can be installed on bicycles with luggage
carriers that are equipped with an Easyfit frame and have a load
capacity of at least 25 kg / 55 pounds. The maximum width of the
carrier is 6.75 inches. Please go to our website at www.yepp.nl
for a list of bicycles that come equipped with an Easyfit luggage
carrier as standard equipment.
• If the luggage carrier is not equipped with an Easyfit frame, the
Yepp Maxi Easyfit can be used in combination with the Yepp Easyfit
carrier (article no. 020404).
Installing on a luggage carrier with the special Easyfit frame.
The Yepp Maxi Easyfit is supplied fully assembled and can therefore
be used straight out of the box. If your cycle is equipped with the
special Easyfit frame, you can fit the seat directly on the carrier.
• Press and hold the red sliding button while at the same time
turning the grey knob counter-clockwise with the slide fully
pushed in.
• Then position the Yepp Maxi Easyfit on the carrier and put the
front hook under the front crosspiece. Place the Yepp Maxi in
horizontal position and press the red slide button again while at
the same time turning the round grey knob clockwise until you
feel resistance. The knob has an internal lock to keep the Yepp
Maxi Easyfit from coming loose by itself.
Always press and hold the red button
while fixing and loosening.
• Always make sure the child seat is properly secured by lifting it
and the bicycle.
• Make sure the Yepp Maxi Easyfit is always secured by turning the
integrated lock to the 'locked' position using the key supplied.
It is both a safety precaution and prevents possible theft of the
Yepp Maxi Easyfit. Make a note of the key number so you can get
a replacement if the original key is lost.
• To release the seat, perform the above actions in reverse order.
• Place the child in the seat and position the footrests to the correct
height. Close the straps when the footrests are at the correct
height.
• Fasten the 5-point harness and adjust it to the correct length.
To open the harness: depress both dark grey semicircles and at
the same time push both sides in.
• Always ensure that the harness is fastened snugly around the child.
• Never modify the child seat in any way.
• Use the Yepp Maxi Easyfit only on a bicycle that is in good working
order, of a type suitable for carrying the additional load, and of
a proper size and adjustment for the rider. Check the owner’s
manual that accompanied the bicycle or contact the bicycle
manufacturer or distributor to obtain this information.
• Always remove the child seat from the bicycle when the bicycle is
being transported on a motor vehicle. Air turbulence on the child
seat can damage the child seat, which could cause a dangerous
situation.
• Do not use the seat if any part of it appears damaged. Have any
damaged parts replaced by your dealer.
• Never leave your child in the
child seat unattended or with
the bicycle supported only by
the kickstand.
Note that cycling with a child in a child
seat will lessen the stability and alter the way the bicycle handles,
particularly regarding steering and braking or how the rider
mounts or dismounts the bicycle. Take a test ride without a child
in the child seat (put some weight in the seat to simulate the child’s
weight) to ensure that everything is installed properly and that the
seat does not hinder your ability to operate the bicycle safely.
• Make sure that the Yepp Maxi Easyfit is always firmly secured by
turning the integrated lock to the locked position (Drawing 8).
It is both a safety precaution and prevents possible theft of the
Yepp Maxi Easyfit.
• Always fasten the harness, even if you are not carrying a child in
the seat, so that it does not hang loose.
• Always use the foot support straps.
Ensure that both the rider and the
child are wearing approved and properly-fitting helmets.
Do not ride in inclement or hazardous
conditions, including temperatures below freezing that could
cause the child to suffer frostbite.
• Never carry bags or other luggage in the child seat. Additionally,
additional luggage and accessories should not be attached to the
child seat, as they may exceed the 22 kg / 48 pound load limit and
may lessen stability.
• Use a sturdy (two-legged) kickstand.
Only children who are able to hold
their head upright while wearing a bicycle helmet (approximately
one year old) should be passengers in a child seat. Additionally,
do not carry a child who is too young to sit comfortably and
independently in the child seat.
• Never carry two children in one seat.
• The Yepp Maxi Easyfit should not be used on a moped or a scooter.
• Check that the child seat has not become too hot in the sun before
putting a child in it.
• Never lift the Yepp Maxi Easyfit with a child in it.
• Check initially, and then regularly thereafter, that your child’s
weight does not exceed 22 kg / 48 pounds. For bigger children,
GMG offers the Yepp Junior.
Check frequently
that all fittings are sufficiently tight.
• Any damaged or broken parts must be replaced immediately.
Consult your dealer.
• Check that using the Yepp Maxi Easyfit is permitted by law in the
state in which you intend to use it. If allowed, the minimum age for
a rider to carry a child in a Yepp Maxi Easyfit child seat may vary
from state to state.
• Do not allow any of the child’s body, clothing, shoe laces, or toys
to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle.
• The rear reflectors in the seat must be visible whether the child
is in the seat on the bicycle or not.
• Always replace the child seat after an accident, even if there is no
visible damage.
Cleaning
• Cleaning the Yepp Maxi Easyfit is simple: clean with lukewarm
soapy water. Never use aggressive cleaning agents.
