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 country 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
helmet.
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 a 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

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.

in the seat.
5) WARNING: Do not use the seat if any part is missing or broken.
Mounting and assembling the child seat
Illustration 1:
Position the fastening block (8) on the seat tube of the bicycle. At-
tach the supports (12) to the metal U-bolts (7) and screw up with
the block (8) using the four screws and washers (9). Do not fully
tighten the screws so the position can be adjusted later.
If there is a cable in the area where the metal U-bolts (7) are posi-
tioned, the U-bolts (7) can be positioned between the cable and the
seat tube (Fig. 1A).
Illustration 2:
Free the support arm (5) of the fastener ring. Remove the support
arm from the child seat cradle.
Illustration 3:
Insert the support arm (5) into the guide seat on the cradle as il-
lustrated in the diagram and push the guide plate (5) until it reaches
the guide seat and can go no further (see also illustration 4).
Illustration 4:
Insert the locking pin (10) into the hole B.
Illustration 5:
Rotate the locking pin 90° clockwise and click the locking pin safety
clip into the free space (see zoomed view).
DANGER: The locking pin is an important safety precaution and
must always be in place. Always check that it is positioned correctly
before every trip!
Illustration 6:
Insert the two ends of the support arm (5) into the fastening block
holes (8). When the seat is correctly in place, tighten the screws (9)
slowly and evenly until the fastening block stops rotating around the
frame. The optimum torque wrench setting is 8 Nm.
