3.2 General safety instructions
Basics
Before using the Carrier, please read through the Owner’s •
Manual carefully. Failure to comply with the safety
instructions may result in risk to health, life and limb, both
of the user and the occupants of the Carrier.
When using the Carrier, always comply with local safety •
and accident prevention regulations, as well as the local
Road Trafc Act, all of which may restrict use in some way.
Safe and appropriate use of the Carrier is your •
responsibility. Before using the Carrier for the rst time,
acquaint yourself with its handling characteristics away
from public roads and without carrying children. An empty
Carrier will tip over more easily when negotiating obstacles
with one wheel only than one carrying a load. A fully laden
Carrier makes greater demands than an empty one on the
braking system.
Negotiate downward paths and bends with the utmost •
caution and reduce speed when doing so.
As regards the children carried
Never leave your child unsupervised in the Carrier.•
Regularly check that your children are appropriately clothed •
and that they feel comfortable (e.g. heat or cold).
Only children who can sit up without support may be car-•
ried, unless the Baby Seat or Baby Supporter (Accessory)
is used.
The maximum height of children who may be carried is •
117 cm, and the maximum age is 6 years old.
In the Croozer Kid for 2 a maximum of 2 children may be •
carried, and in the Croozer Kid for 1 only one child may be
carried.
Make sure that the limbs, clothing or toys of the children do •
not come into contact with the Carrier wheels or the rear
wheel of the bicycle that is towing.
As regards the Carrier
Items of luggage should be well secured so that they •
cannot move around during the journey. Unsecured items
of luggage and overloading reduce stability and make the
Carrier more difcult to handle.
The Carriers must never be towed behind motorised vehi-•
cles.
The Carriers must not be carried on the roof of a vehicle, •
even when folded.
At various points on the Carrier, self-locking nuts are used. •
If these have been loosened they must not be reused.
Once they have been loosened they lose their original
function, and this can lead to unexpected loosening of the
screw connection with potentially serious consequences.
Do not use the Carrier at temperatures below -20°C (-4°F) •
and do not store it at these temperatures, as the windows
might crack.
When opening out or folding up the Carrier, there is a risk •
of trapping your hand or ngers.
As regards the children in the Carrier
When converting the Carrier from Bicycle Trailer mode to •
Jogger or Stroller mode, or vice-versa, there should not
be a child sitting in the Carrier. The same applies when
maintenance or repair work is being carried out.
The permitted cargo load of the Croozer Kid for 2 is limited •
to 45 kg, and that of the Kid for 1 is limited to 35 kg. The
permitted cargo load must not be exceeded. The cargo
load is the weight of the children together with any luggage
there might be.
Please explain to your child that he/she must not bounce, •
dget or lean out of the Carrier.
3.3 Safety instructions for all travelling
situations
As regards the children carried
Never carry items of luggage on the seat next to your child.•
Never carry animals together with your children.•
As regards the Carrier
Always avoid going over obstacles with one wheel of the •
Carrier only, especially on bends – the Carrier might tip
over, even at walking pace!
In the event of the Carrier tipping over, the handlebar acts •
as a safety bar. For this reason, keep it permanently tted.
The safety wrist strap needed for use as a Jogger and •
Stroller should always be attached to the handlebar as
required by the instructions. During use as a Bicycle Trailer,
hang the safety wrist strap up inside under the storage
space cover.
Before each journey check the tyre pressure. The mini-•
mum recommended pressure is 30 psi (1.5 bar) and the
maximum is 35 psi (2.5 bar). Even if a higher pressure is
permitted for the tyres tted, we recommend that 35 psi
(2.5 bar) not be exceeded.
Do not use compressed air lines (e.g. at service stations). •
The tyres may burst due to the small volume of the tubes.
Never negotiate steps with the Carrier.•
Before each journey, check that the wheels are fully •
engaged.
Before each journey, check that the Auto-lock disk is fully •
engaged.
Before each journey, check that the security pins of the •
handlebar are correctly inserted and secured.
Always insert the security pin for the stroller wheel in •
the hole provided on the stroller wheel bearing bushing.
Secure it with the safety clip.
