Adjustment of the seat height (length of lower leg), knee angle and ankle angle 

 

Seat height 

The seat height is the distance between the top of the seat and floor. This distance determines (with 
the  wheel  size)  how  well  the  child  is  in  the  hoop  and  is  very  important.  The  seat  height  can  be 
adjusted in two steps of 20 mm. 

As a rule of thumb is: the distance from shoulder to the top of the hoop is at least ⅔ and max ¾ times 
the arm length. To adjust the child should be removed from the chair and then the two rear wheels 
and seat unit have to be removed. (see “6.4 Mounting / dismounting the seat unit”) 

The seat height can be adjusted by moving the entire seat forward or backward by making use of the 
hole pattern in the fenders. (Figures 15). The nuts (and bolts) (1) of the seat holders should be 
removed. The seat holders must then be fixed again in the desired position. The possible positions 
for the seat in holders are illustrated in the bottom image of Figure 14.
