4. Make sure bicycle is stable and under control when loading and unloading child.
5. This baby seat system is not compatible with rear suspension bikes.
6. The bicycle to which the BabySeat and rack is mounted must be in good working order, of a type appropriate for the additional load, and of proper size and adjustment for the operator. See bicycle owner's manual for additional bicycle loading information. Make sure not to overload your bicycle when using the BabySeat and rack, and make sure not to attach additional luggage or accessories to the rack.
7. BabySeat rack is designed for use on 26" wheel and 700C wheel bicycles only.
8. Bicycle operator and child should always wear helmets which have been approved by nationally recognized standards.
9. The bicycle operator should avoid busy streets, bad weather and ride with extra care and reduced speed.
10. Make sure BabySeat safety harness is fastened correctly and firmly over child.
11. Never leave child alone unattended in BabySeat.
12. Rear seats that are fixed to the luggage carrier shall have an additional fastening, not removable from the seat, which shall be attached to another part of the cycle and limits rearward movement of the seat.
13. When walking bicycle with child in BabySeat, hold rack with one hand and hold handlebar with the other.
14. Tighten fasteners securely before each use and check them frequently.
