Road racing bicycles, fitness and mountain bikes are not suit-

able for mounting a child carrier with special fittings. For more

information on other bicycle types, see chapter “Intended Use”.

Make it a rule to take your child out of the carrier when parking

the bicycle. Risk of toppling over!

Cover the springs of your saddle so that the child cannot get his

or her fingers pinched between them.

Make sure the child you are taking with you wears a helmet!

It is recommendable to only buy a DIN or GS tested child carrier. Be sure

to fasten the child’s seat belt before you set off and make sure the feet are

properly seated in the shields (b).

Child carriers have a strong influence on the bicycle’s riding characteristics.

The weight of both carrier and child will make the bicycle somewhat top-

heavy and tend to give you a wobbly ride. Practise getting on and riding your

bicycle with a child on it!

A critical moment is when you have just placed the child in the carrier be-

cause this is when the danger of the bicycle toppling over is greatest. A

good way to obviate this danger is to use a twin leg kickstand to keep the

bicycle stable in standing.

Children must be transported in special child carriers only that

provide sufficient protection for their feet. In Germany e.g. chil-

dren are allowed to be taken by child carrier until the age of 7,

the rider taking the child must be no younger than 16 years.

Please read up on the applicable regulations in your country!

There are some cross and mountain bikes that are not suitable

for mounting a child carrier with special fittings. For more infor-

mation, see chapter “Intended Use” or ask your bicycle dealer.

15.2.2 Child Trailers

With special child trailers (c+d) that are towed behind a bicycle you can

transport one or two children. Children can play in the trailer without the

danger of toys falling out. Some models provide the option of mounting a

sunshade or rain shield.

Before hitching a trailer to your bicycle have a look at chapter

“Intended Use” or contact your bicycle dealer. Note down the

trailer type you opt for so that they can provide you with the

information you need.

Trailers affect the braking behaviour of your bicycle and occupy far more

width than the bicycle would alone. First, practise drawing the trailer without

passengers (a). Mount a long pole with coloured pennant to your bicycle to

increase visibility. It should be fitted with all the reflectors that are prescribed

for riding on public roads, just like your bicycle. If you use it in the dark, illumi-

nate the rear end of the trailer with a battery/accumulator-operated lamp (b).

Please inform yourself about the regulations concering lighting in the country

where you are using the trailer.

Always secure the little passenger(s) (c) with the seat belt, as

erratic movements inside the trailer can make it topple over.

Make sure the child you are taking with you wears a helmet (d).

A trailer is an insufficient protection in the event of an accident!

Please note that your stopping distance increases due to the

additional load of the child.

Make sure your bicycle is approved for trailer towing before

mounting one. Trailer towing requires hydraulic brakes! (See

chapter “Intended Use“).

15.2.3 Kids’ Tandem Bicycles / Trailer Systems

There are different systems on the market that allow a kid’s bicycle to be at-

tached to an adult bicycle to cycle together with your child on public roads.

Inform yourself at your bicycle dealer about the different types of kids‘ tan-

dem bicycles.

Some of them are attached to the seat tube of the towing bicycle. This single

point attachment may be a little unstable.

Systems attaching the complete kid’s bicycle to the adult bicycle provide

more stability.

Trailer systems have a strong influence on the bicycle’s riding

characteristics. The weight of both the attached bicycle and the

child will make the bicycle somewhat top-heavy. It may tend to

wobble. Practise getting on and off your bicycle as well as cy-

cling. Keep in mind, in particular when turning, that your bicycle

including trailer system is much longer.
