2. Place the seat on the luggage carrier and then fasten the hand knob
(G1) so that the seat remains slightly attached to the luggage carrier.
Check if the jaw (G3) is properly fastened to the luggage carrier.
3. Fasten the hand knob (G1) so that the seat is well attached to the
luggage carrier. As soon as the hand knob is well tightened, make sure the
security lever is properly held as shown in the picture.
4. The child seat has a centre of gravity (F) (inscribed on the child seat) that
must be positioned in front of the rear wheel axle. If it is positioned behind
the axle, the distance must not exceed 10 cm. If the centre of gravity is
more than this distance from the axle, adjust the seat to the correct
position. Special care must also be taken when positioning the child seat
to ensure that the cyclist does not touch the child seat with his feet when
cycling. Make sure that the mounting plate (G) is firmly attached to the
carrier before proceeding. This step is extremely important for child and
cyclist safety. Check the safety of the fasteners regularly.
Note: In Germany, according to the German Traffic Law StVZO, bicycle
seats may only be fixed so that 2/3 of the seat depth or the Gravity Center
of the seat is located between the front and rear axle of the bicycle..
5. Pass the safety belt (C) around the bicycle frame. Adjust it as shown
in the picture, under tension. Make sure that remain loosen belt is not in
contact with the wheel. This step is extremely important for the child's
safety.
6. (B) To place the child in the seat, first open the belt. Start by pressing
the releases on the sides of the safety buckle (B4) and pull the buckle
(B1) upwards, so that it slides out of the socket (B5). Place the child in
the seat. Insert the safety buckle (B1) in its socket again (B5). Make sure
that the buckle socket (B5) is correctly positioned and does not hurt the
child. Next adjust the belt to the size of the child to ensure that the child is
firmly secured. First adjust the height of the belt. To do this, pull the straps
according to the size of the child. Before starting the journey, always check
that the child is secured and that the belt is snug but not so tight that it
hurts the child. We recommend that the child's helmet be put on after
the belt is adjusted.
Note: Always use the restraint system.
(B.A) To place the child in the seat, first fully extend the belt straps (B),
sliding the adjusters (B2). This makes it easier to put the helmet when the
child is in the seat. Do the same for the other side. To put the child in the
seat, open the lock (B1) of the safety belt (B) pressing the three buttons of
the lock (B1) as indicated. Before starting your ride, make sure the seat belt
is properly adjusted and that it does not hurt the child. This adjustment is
made by sliding the belt adjustors (B2).
Note: Always use the restraint system.
7. To adjust the height of the footrest (E) to fit your child, release the
footrest (E) from the seat (A) by pressing the two fasteners together and
lift the footrest as indicated in the picture (it may be necessary to apply
some pressure to the fasteners).

sure the strap does not hurt the child.
