5. Do not modify , x any part, or alter child carrier or bike.
Contact Customer Service if you are not sure whether your
bicycle is compatible with your child carrier or if you have
questions or concerns about any parts or components.
6. Do not operate a bicycle with a child carrier attached without
rst reading and understanding this manual. If you have any
questions, contact our Customer Service.
7. Do not use on any bicycle with rear suspension, bicycles
that have a suspension seat post or with frames with square,
triangular or carbon ber tubing.
8. Do not leave the child unattended in the child carrier .
9. Both cyclist and child must wear approved bicycle helmets.
10 . Children must be old enough to wear a bicycle helmet and
to sit upright without assistance. If your child is too small to
properly wear the smallest size approved bicycle helmet, he/
she should not ride in the child carrier . Some states have
mandatory helmet requirements and minimum age limits for
children riding in bicycle carriers. Consult your pediatrician
before carrying any child.
11 . Do not exceed the maximum seat load of 40 pounds for
child, pack and contents. The load of a rear child carrier may
lessen the stability and maneuverability and alter the riding
characteristics of the bicycle, particularly regarding steering
and braking. Check child’ s weight periodically to ensure they
have not exceeded the weight capacity .
12 . Always fasten harness securely around child. Periodically
check placement of harness, especially for a sleeping child.
Do not allow any of the child’ s body , clothing, shoelaces or
toys to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle.
Make sure there ar e no sharp objects the child can touch
while in the child carrier .
13 . Instruct your child not to bounce, rock or lean. Sudden
shifting of weight can lead to serious injury or death to you
and your passenger .
14 . Presence of a child carrier on a bicycle may requir e
alteration of the method used by the rider to mount or
dismount the bicycle. Care must be taken whenever the
rider gets on or off the bicycle.
15 . Cyclist must be an experienced, strong rider weighing
100 pounds or more.
16 . Do not use a kickstand or other parking device to support the
bicycle with a child carrier attached. Attaching a carrier can
change the balance of the bicycle making kickstands ineffective.
The bicycle can fall over , damaging it and the carrier .
17 . Do not transport bicycle on an automobile with the child
carrier attached. The force of the high wind on the carrier
may degrade or damage the carrier to the point that it will
not perform reliably .
18 . Avoid riding at night. Y our ability to see and to be seen is
greatly reduced. If you must ride at night, use pr oper lighting
and reectors on your bike and wear reective clothing.
19 . Never ride in inclement or hazardous conditions. Children
should be properly clothed to be protected fr om the
elements. Check the temperature of the child carrier before
placing child in it to make sure the carrier is not too hot.
20. Never install both a r ear child carrier and a front child carrier
on a single bicycle.
21. Do not mount anything else to the carrier rack except for
the Bell child carrier .
22. Before each ride, ensur e the mounted carrier does not interfere
with braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle.
23. When no child is being carried, fasten the r etention system
buckles so the straps do not hang loosely and potentially
become trapped in any moving parts of the bicycle.
24. Always check any local laws specic to carrying of childr en
in carriers attached to bicycles before riding.
25. A r ear reector that complies with CPSC regulations must be
visible whether the carrier is on the bicycle or not.
