Specific Instructions For Mounting

• This child bicycle seat must not be mounted in folding bicycles.
• This child bicycle seat must not be mounted to bicycles fitted with rear shock absorbers.
• This child bicycle seat must not be mounted to motorized vehicles such as mopeds and scooters.
• This child bicycle seat must not be mounted in bicycles with triangular, square, or carbon fiber frames.
• This child bicycle seat is only suitable for carrying children with a maximum weight of 15 Kg, and a maximum height of 93cm (and children with recommended ages ranging from 9 months up to 3 years of age - with the weight and height as the decisive variables).
• This child bicycle seat must be assembled on bicycles with round frames with diameters ranging from ∅22 to ∅32 mm.
• The child bicycle seat must be assembled on bicycles with wheels with diameters of 26", 27,5", 28 and 29".
  • The total weight of the cyclist and the child transported must not exceed the maximum

permitted load permitted for the bicycle. Information on the maximum load can be found in the operating instructions of the bicycle. You can also contact the manufacturer for this question.

• The seat may only be mounted on a bicycle suitable for the attachment of such additional loads. Please consult your bicycle instructions manual.

• The position of the child bicycle seat must be adjusted so that the bicycle rider does not touch the child bicycle seat with the feet when in motion.
- It's very important to correctly adjust the seat and its component parts for optimum comfort and safety of the child. It's also important that the seat does not slope forward so that the child does not tend to slide out of it. It is also important that the backrest slope backward slightly.
- Check if all parts of the bicycle function correctly with the child bicycle seat mounted.
- Check the instructions of the bicycle, and if you have any doubts about fitting the child bicycle seat to your bicycle, please contact your bicycle supplier for further information.

Specific Instructions for Mounting the Seat in the Bicycle

1. Pull the handrest (A2) forward until it is properly fitted and aligned with the base of the seat. Turn the bicycle seat over and insert the screws (A3x2) into the corresponding slots. Use a Torx screwdriver to fully tighten. We recommend a torque of 0.8 N.m. Push and pull the handrest to ensure it is securely fastened, and that it does not move at all.

2. Cut the security device so as to remove the

mounting block (E) from the steel rod (A1). Then, pull the mounting block (E) down to release it.

1. Remove the 2 bolts (E4) and washers (E2) from the mounting block (E). Use the key (E1).
2. Choose kit A or B. Consider whether your bike allows the Standard Kit (Option A) to be fitted or, in the case of an MTB bike, whether the special kit (Option B) is required.

Option A: Assembling with standard kit for ∅ 22-32mm steering tubes.

First, make sure that the body of the block (E5) faces up - the word "TOP" must face up. Then make sure that the front spacer of KIT A (E7.1) is correctly applied to the body of the Mounting Block (E5) as shown. Then offer up the assembly to the steering tube.

Next offer up the rear part (F7.2 + F7.3) so that the block surrounds the steering tube. Then insert the 2 bolts (E4) and washers (E2) into the mounting block (E).

Finally tighten the bolts using the key (F1). Make sure that the mounting block (E) is tightly fixed and does not move - correct tightening is extremely important for the child's safety. We recommend tightening with a 6 N.m torque. This step is extremely important for child and cyclist safety.

Option B: Assembling the 1-1/8" kit on an MTB bike steering tube.

Firstly, if necessary, remove the handlebar to obtain the required space to assemble the block - remove the original spacers of the steering tube. Then loosen the bolts to remove the block (E7.1 + E7.2 + E7.3) that is by default applied to the metallic block. No need to remove the bolts.

Before inserting the Kit B (F6.1 + F6.2), make sure the two parts are aligned as shown in the picture and that the slots of both coincide.

Correctly place the front spacer of Kit B (E6.1) in the body (F5) of the block. The slot must be at the bottom to accommodate the bolts.

Make sure that the mounting-block body (E5) faces

up - the word "TOP" must face up. Then place the kit on the steering tube as shown.

Position the mounting block (E5) as shown and slot in the rear part of Kit B (E6.2). Make sure that the slot of this part is at the bottom, aligned with the smaller part and with the bolts already inserted into the block (E5).

Having positioned the block (E5) and its Kit (E6), it will now be subject to final tightening. For the purpose place the nuts (E6.3) in the corresponding rear holes of the larger part of the Kit (F6.2). Please note that these nuts are self-threading, so they must be correctly fitted - the blue circle must face out.

Finally tighten the bolts using the key (E1). Make sure that the mounting block (E) is tightly fixed and does not move - correct tightening is extremely important for the child's safety. We recommend tightening with a 6 N.m torque. This step is extremely important for child and cyclist safety.

1. Having concluded option A or option B, make sure that the mounting block (E) is secure and properly aligned with the handlebar and the wheel. The mounting block (E) must be fitted as low as the steering tube allows.
2. To assemble the child seat insert the two ends of the steel rod (A1) of the child seat into the corresponding holes (E5.1) of the mounting block (E5). You will hear a slight click when the operation is complete and you will see that the ends of the steed rod (A1) appear beneath the mounting block (F).
3. Having fitted the child seat (A) to the mounting block (E), conclude this stage by inserting the safety ring (E3) in the hole at the end of the steel rod (A1). This step is extremely important for the child's safety. Make sure the child seat is upright.
4. Then sit on the bike and make sure that steering and braking are not affected by any component of the child seat. Also make sure that there is enough space for the child between the seat and the handlebars.

How to safely place and secure the child on the seat

1. To place the child in the seat, first fully extend the retention system harness (B), by pressing the adjuster button (B2.1) of the belt guide (B2), then pull it up - this makes it easier to put the child in the seat.

Open the safety buckle (B1) by pressing the safety buckle button. After releasing the buckle, detach both sides by sliding one up and the other down.

To safely place the child on the seat you must place the bicycle on flat and solid ground for maximum bicycle stability. Even if your bicycle offers robust quick stands, you must always hold the bicycle, while placing/ removing the child. You must carry your child in your lap and safely place him on the seat. It's forbidden for the child to climb alone on the bicycle or using the footrests to reach the seat.

Seat the child, place the shoulder straps and then connect it by sliding the two parts of the buckle together and close the safety buckle. Before fastening the buckle, ensure that both sides are securely connected.

Before starting the journey, always check that the child is secured and that the belt is snug but not so tight that it hurts the child. According to the child

growth, current height, and weight, you can adjust the height of the retention system harness (B) on all the strap adjusters (B2), by pulling up or down the straps until reaching the desired size

1. Adjust the height of the footrest to the child's size. For the purpose, press the footrest button (D2) and slide the footrest (D) up or down as appropriate. Release the button to fix the footrest (D) in the desired position. You will hear a slight click when the operation is complete and the button (D2) will jump to its normal position.

To remove the footrest strap, lift it slightly to release it from the footrest peg (D3) and slide it upwards to disengage it from the footrest slot (D). Put the child's foot in place. To fix the strap (D1), place its narrower part of the footrest slot. Then pull the strap down to fasten the appropriate hole to the footrest pin (D3). On conclusion of these steps the footrest strap (D1) is securely fastened to the peg (D3). Note - The chosen position should cause the child's knee to be slightly straighter rather than bent, a more comfortable position.

How to Remove the Seat from the Bicycle

1. To remove your child seat remove the split ring (E3) and pull the child seat upwards and backwards to release it from the mounting block (F).

Attention

Make sure you have followed and fulfilled all the instructions given. When done so, the child bicycle seat is ready for use.

IT IS MANDATORY TO READ the following chapter on safety instructions about using your child bicycle seat.

Specific Instructions for Use

• Remove the non-safety-related stickers from the child bicycle seat before use.
  • The rider must be at least 16 years of age.
• Check for any laws and regulations that might be in force in your country, relating to the carrying of children in seats attached to cycles.
• Carry only children that can sit unaided for a longer period, at least as long as the intended cycle journey.
• Do not carry a child less than 9 months of age in this child bicycle seat. To be a passenger, the child must be able to sit up straight with the head held upright while wearing a bicycle helmet. A doctor should be consulted if the child's growth is questionable.
• Make sure that the weight and height of the child do not exceed the maximum capacity of the seat, and check this at regular intervals. Check the weight of the child before using the child seat. Under no circumstances should you use the child bicycle seat to transport a child whose weight is above the permissible limit.
• Make sure to check from time to time that the weight and height of the child do not exceed the maximum permissible load of the seat.
• Make sure that it is not possible for any part of the child's body or clothing to come into contact with moving parts of the seat or bicycle and check this as the child grows.
• You must cover any sharp or pointy objects on the bicycle (e.g. frayed cables) that may be reached by the child, in any situation.
• A wheel protector is mandatory to prevent the child from inserting its feet or hands between the spokes. Make certain that the child is not able to hinder the brakes, thus avoiding accidents. These adjustments should be revised with child's growth.
• When the child bicycle seat is not in use, fasten the waist buckle of the security harness to prevent the straps from dangling and entering in contact with

some turning part of the bicycle as wheels, brakes, etc. as these may be a hazard to the cyclist.

- Secure the child into child bicycle seat ensuring that all the safety belts and straps applied firmly but not so tight as to cause discomfort to the child.

- Check the security of fastners frequently.

- You must ensure that you always use the restraint system, and that the child is secured in the seat.

- Dress the child in proper clothes according to weather conditions.

• Children in child seats need to be more warmly dressed than riders of cycles and should be protected from rain.

- Remove the seat when transporting the bicycle by car (outside the car). Air turbulence might damage the seat or loosen its fastenings or other suspended elements, which could lead to an accident.

- Accompanying persons should carefully consider stability / balance when placing the child on the bike in the seat.

• Make sure that children wear a suitable helmet that complies with EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 while riding in the seat. Not wearing a helmet exponentially increases the risk of death, long-term disability, head trauma, or other injuries. As bicycle seat manufacturers, we care about the safety of seat passengers, so we strongly recommend that children wear properly fitted and fastened bicycle helmets.

• The seat and cushion can get hot if under the sun for a long time. Make sure that they are not too hot before seating the child.

- This child seat is not suitable for use during sporting activities, or in extreme conditions as per example: enduro, hard mountain biking, big road holes, jumps and off-road ways.

- When riding for the first time with the seat fitted - to test ride the cycle in a safe/quiet environment before riding on the highway.

- When the steering angle to each side is reduced to less than 45^ , change the type of handlebar.

WARNINGS

WARNING: Do not attach any additional luggage to the child seat. If you carry extra luggage, the bicycle's carrying capacity must not be exceeded, and we recommend that it be placed at the back of the bike.

WARNING: Do not modify the seat. WARNING: The cycle could behave differently with a child in the seat particularly with regarding to balance, steering and braking.
