Safety Guidelines

Legal requirements for transporting children

Be sure to observe all laws that apply to the transport

of children in child trailers. Some countries prohibit the

transport of children in child trailers, and others prescribe

certain age limits. In case of doubt, familiarise yourself with

the legal requirements of the country or region where you

plan to use the Croozer.

Before your rst ride...

It is vitally important that you familiarise yourself with the

Croozer before you use it for transporting children. Prior to

your rst outing with passengers, Croozer GmbH recom-

mends that you practice towing the trailer (without passen-

gers) in a calm, trafc-free area; load the trailer with cargo

of approximately the same weight as the child or children

you will be towing, for example, by strapping a loaded

rucksack into the child seat. This is a great way to become

acquainted with the handling of the bicycle and the dimen-

sions of the Trailer.

Buckle up!

Children riding in the Croozer must be strapped into the

safety harnesses at all times. Follow the instructions pro-

vided in this manual for adjusting and fastening the safety

harnesses correctly. Children who are not properly secured

in a safety harness could sustain life-threatening injuries in

the case of accidents or sudden braking.

Adult supervision

Never leave children in the Croozer unattended. It is

the adult’s responsibility to ensure that the ventilation

and temperature conditions in the Croozer are safe and

comfortable for the child at all times. Check on the child’s

well-being frequently.

Keep handlebar attached

Leave the handlebar attached to the Croozer at all times.

In the event of an accident, it acts as a roll bar, protecting

the passengers.

Pinching hazard

When folding and unfolding the Croozer, keep ngers

and hands clear of all possible pinch points (e.g. movable

frame parts and locking mechanisms).

Pulling the Croozer as a Bicycle Trailer

Before each ride, check the following:

• Are the wheels securely attached?

• Are the locking mechanisms on both vertical frame

tubes securely engaged?

• Are all attached components correctly inserted and

secured (i.e. the respective fastening/locking mecha-

nisms engaged)? Check that none of the security pins

are hanging freely from their straps.

• Are the tyres inated to the recommended pressure?

The actual tyre pressure should never be higher or

lower than the maximum and minimum ination pres-

sures marked on the tyre sidewall. (See also page 35.)

Never use compressed air, e.g. from a petrol station,

to inate your tyres. The quick ow and high pressure

can overinate the tyres, causing the tube and/or tyre

to burst.

Using the parking brake

When loading or unloading children, or when passengers

are getting into or out of the trailer, the parking brake of the

Croozer must be engaged to prevent unintentional rolling.

Turning

Always reduce your speed to a walking pace when mak-

ing turns with the Bicycle Trailer. Keep in mind that riding

speed is often underestimated, especially on bikes with

electric assist (i.e. pedelecs). When turning at high speeds,

the increased centrifugal force could cause the trailer to

skid or tip over, which can result in accidents with serious

injury or death.

Riding downhill

Always reduce your speed when riding downhill. Riding at

excessive speeds could cause the trailer to skid, which can

result in accidents with serious injury or death.

Riding over kerbs or uneven surfaces

Riding over a kerb or other obstacle with only one wheel

of the trailer could cause the trailer to tip over, resulting in

accidents with serious injury or death. Empty trailers are

especially susceptible to tipping. Therefore, if you have

to ride over a kerb or similar obstacle, always use ex-

treme caution and ride at very low speeds. Never use the

Croozer on stairs or escalators.

Risk of injury from rotating parts

Always make sure that the child cannot reach the wheels

of the Croozer or the rear wheel of the towing bicycle.

Touching wheels that are in motion could result in serious

injuries.

Close the cover

When riding with the Bicycle Trailer, always close the front

mesh cover (with the plastic window either open or closed)

in order to protect the passengers from potential injuries

caused by ying insects or small stones thrown up from

the rear wheel of the towing bicycle.

The plastic windows have a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection

Factor) rating of 80+, and the Croozer’s fabric body has a

UPF rating of 50+.

Being visible to others

Never use your Croozer as a Bicycle Trailer in road trafc

without its safety ag mounted. The safety ag makes it

easier for other road-users to see you.

If you plan to use the Croozer as a Bicycle Trailer at night,

dusk or dawn – or when visibility is in any way reduced –

the trailer must be equipped with a fully functional light-

ing system. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the legal

requirements of the country or region where you plan to

use the Croozer.

Carrying cargo

Never transport cargo items together with children on the

seat or in the foot area. Cargo must be well secured in

the rear cargo compartment to ensure that it cannot shift

during transport. Loose cargo and overloading can change

the handling of the Croozer, making the vehicle more dif-

cult to control. Furthermore, cargo items can fall against

the seatback and injure the child. Never transport animals

together with children in the Croozer.

Never use the handlebar for carrying loads, such as chil-

dren’s vehicles or bags. Cargo attached to the outside of

the Croozer can drastically affect its handling and stabil-

ity, potentially resulting in accidents with serious injury or

death.
