the screws excessively and check the tightness periodically.

2)  Check that the bicycle is suitable for adding supplementary 

loads. Check the information supplied with the bicycle or ask for 

information and advice from the bicycle manufacturer.

3)  Adjust the seat and its components in order to give the child 

the most comfort and safety. When the child is in the seat, the 

backrest should be slightly tilted backwards, so as to prevent the 

child from sliding forward.

4)  Check to ensure that each part of your bicycle is working prop-

erly with the seat mounted.

5)  Check the existence of any laws present in your State that govern 

the use of child bike seats.

6)  Check initially and then periodically that the weight and size of 

the child does not exceed the maximum allowed by the seat.

7)   Check that the child or part of its clothes do not come into con-

tact with moving parts of the seat or bicycle. Avoid the child’s 

hands and feet coming into contact with the wheel or being 

caught in the brakes.

8)  Ensure that there are no sharp edges that could come into 

contact with the child (for example, frayed or deteriorated wires 

etc.).

9)  Ensure that the safety belts are not loose and do not come into 

contact with the moving parts of the bicycle, especially with the 

wheels, even when the child is not being carried in the seat.

10) Always use the safety belts. Make sure your child is properly 

secured with the seat belts.

11) The child in the seat must be clothed and protected from the 

cold more than the person riding the bicycle. Protect the child 

from rain.

12)  It is advised to make the child wear an approved protective hel-

met.

13) Check that the seat is not too hot (e.g. overheated by the sun) 

prior to placing the child in it.

14) Remove the seat when the bicycle is transported by car. Strong 

wind could damage the seat or detach it from the bicycle, caus-

ing accidents.

15) Cover any saddle springs to avoid child’s fingers being trapped 

and/or squashed by them.

16) Each time the seat is used, check it is fitted onto the fastening 

block correctly: on pulling the support arm upwards, the fasten-

ing block must hold the seat down firmly. 

17) The seat material (polypropylene) loses some of its mechanical 

properties with ageing if exposed for longer periods to environ-

mental conditions (sun, rain, ice, etc.). In the case of normal use 

and exposure to environmental conditions, the seat should be 

replaced after 3 years.

Warnings

1)  WARNING: Do not place any additional baggage on the seat. Any 

additional baggage must be placed on the opposite side of the 

bicycle with respect to the seat. For example: if the seat is in the 

rear of the bicycle, use a front bag carrier and vice versa.

2)  WARNING: Do not modify the seat.

3)  WARNING: Riding the bicycle may be different with a child in the 

seat, especially regarding balance, steering and braking.

4)  WARNING: Never park the bicycle leaving the child unattended in 

the seat.

5)  WARNING: Do not use the seat if any part is missing or broken.
