|
The responsible
adult must be a competent off road cyclist |
|
|
This product is
primarily designed to be used off road |
|
|
To avoid 'shaken
baby' syndrome, very young children should not
be ridden on rough surfaces as this may cause undue
vibrations |
|
|
Ensure the child
has bent knees and or changes position to relax
when travelling over rougher terrain |
|
|
The extermities
of your child are at risk of catching a chill so
ensure they are covered adequately and check frequently
they are not getting cold |
|
|
Do not ride for
extended periods of time |
|
|
Do not ride on
very rough terrain or down very steep slopes |
|
|
Considering the
additional weight of the child, always ride well
within your cycling competence. |
|
|
Check bike brakes
and fastenings thoroughly before departure |
|
|
We recommend the
product is only used on a full suspension mountain
bikes. If an unsuspended bike is used, compensate
for vibration of the child by riding on smoother
surfaces only |
|
|
To protect you
and the child in the event of a fall, ensure that
the child wears a full suit, approved cycle helmet,
cycle gloves, and their feet are adequately restrained
in the stirrups, tight enough to secure their feet,
yet loose enough to free their feet in the unlikely
event of a fall |
|
|
Over hold the
child's hands on the handle bars, and ensure that
the brake levers and gear change clusters are adjusted
to ensure that when the brakes are full on there
is plenty of clearance for their fingers |
|
|
Ensure the child's
position is as rearward and central as possible
within your bodyspace, so that handle bar movement
is not impeded, and the child's feet are away from
the front wheel. |
|
|
Ensure that the
handle bars turn freely through at least 60 degrees
from the straight ahead position, without tight
spots stiffness or slackness in the bearings when
correctly adjusted |
|
|
The top of the
child saddle should be set the same height as the
handlebar stem. For smaller children the seat should
be further forwards so that they are almost sitting
upright, whereas larger children can be set more
rearwards leaning forwards with arms slightly bent
rather than fully outstretched |
|
|
Ensure that the
child's body, restraint system and clothing are
clear of any moving part of the seat or cycle,
and recheck as the child grows |
|
|
Check that no
part of the system could become entrapped in any
moving part when the product is used without the
child on the saddle |
|
|
Always use the
footstraps |
|
|
Ensure that there
are no sharp objects that could injure a child,
for example frayed cables |
|
|
Check that the
seat is not hot when the child sits due to direct
exposure to the sun |
|
|
Check before after
and intermittently during the ride that the product
is securely attached to the bicycle frame using
standard tools |
|
|
Check whether
there are any laws specific to the carrying of
children on saddles attached to cycles that apply
in the country in which the saddle is used |
|
|
Only carry children
that are able to sit unaided for the duration of
the ride |
|
|
Check from time
to time that the childs weight does not exceed
the maximum of the saddle |
|
|
Set the height
of the foot stirrups and the angle of the arm so
that the feet are in line with the front down tube,
or along the line from the headset to the pedal
crank, so that they childs feet are completely
clear from the front wheel when the suspension
is compressed |
|
|
Keep all small
components away from children during the assembly
process, and ensure that all components are tightened
before you ride out |
|
|
Do not overtighten
or force fixings which could damage or weaken your
cycle frame |
|
|
To prevent the
child sliding off the seat, secure the stirrups
as soon as the child is positioned on the saddle |
|
|
To create the safety
net for your child, while you are riding ensure
that your hands are on theirs on the handlebars
and arms are around the childs body at all times.Only

use |
