Step 1: Fixing the metal frame to the AddBike
•Remove screws, nuts and plastic caps from both sides of the compact seat plaque
of the AddBike. Do the same with the screws, nuts and plastic caps from both sides
of the upper compact plate of the backrest of the Addbike;
Figure 6 –Screws and plastic protectors to be removed
During this step, if your AddBike isn't equipped with 4 plastic caps at
the 4 bar ends of the backrest and base structure (at the level of the
connection sleeve), the only preparation to install the bars is to remove
the screws at each bar end (screw without nut). Once the bars are
inserted as shown below, tighten the screws (screw without nut).
Make sure to keep in a safe place the 4 plastic caps removed during the
previous step.

•Put back the screws and nuts previously removed, but not the plastic caps (keep
these in a safe place);
Figure 8 –Screws to put back

•Insert the upper tubes into the holes of the backrest and into those of the bottom
tubes and line up the screw holes of the different parts;
Figure 9 –Insertion of the upper tubes

not the plastic caps) and fix in this way the upper tubes to the AddBike’s backrest
tubes;
Figure 10 –Screws to be put back

using two M5x30 BHC screws provided;
Figure 11 –Positioning the medium transverse bar
•In the same way, fix the other two transverse bars to the structure. One of them
between the two holes at the top of the upper tubes, and the other between the

Step 2: Fix the hammock to the AddBike
•Take the hammock and place it on the base of the AddBike according to the figure
below;
Figure 13 –Positioning the hammock
•Slip the top of the hammock on the backrest (below the upper transverse bar) and
fix it by means of the two available buckles (passing through the two compact
plaques of the backrest) and also by means of the two smaller straps (passing over
the backrest). For the moment, leave the two largest straps aside.
Figure 14 - Positioning the top of the hammock

14 VERSION V4.1
•Pass the strap of the back of the hammock behind the backrest of the AddBike
(bottom) and fix it using the buckle (without tightening too much for now, to be
able to adjust thereafter);
Figure 15 –Positioning the back straps
•Pass the front strap of the hammock over the middle transverse bar and secure it
with the buckle;
Figure 16 –Fixing the front strap of the hammock
Fit the back strap securely between the AddBike backrest and the back
plate. This strap should not interfere with the movements of the
AddBike.

VERSION V4.1 15
•Both the crotch strap of the harness and the adjustment buckle are already
positioned through one of the two holes of the hammock (below, against the
orange strip). You may remove this set and make it pass through the other hole if
your child is too big (or too small);
Figure 17 –Passing the crotch strap and the adjustment buckle through a
hammock’s hole.
The choice of the hammock’s hole through which you will pass the strap
depends on the size of your child. Test before using the AddBike with
the Carry'Box Kid module.
•Then, fix this strap on the seat of the AddBike using both the two slots provided for
this purpose, and the adjustment buckle;

Step 3: Fixing the textile envelope on the AddBike
•Place the footrest around the bottom tubes (between the Addbike’s seat and the
lower transverse bar) and close it, clipping together the snap fasteners (below the
AddBike).
•Pass the strip of the footrest in the slot of the AddBike’s seat and clip the snap
fastener
•Position the footrest textile around the transverse bar and secure using the Velcro
strips
Figure 19 –Positioning the footrest
•Draw the textile near the metal frame, with the transparent flap open and directed
downwards. Pass the orange fabric cover (located under the transparent flap inside
the module) around the medium transverse bar and attach it using both U-shaped
Velcro strips;

Figure 22 –Velcro strap to be left accessible
Be careful to keep the Velcro strap (circled in Figure 22 below) outside
the fabric during the passage of fabric cover through both sides of the
module. This strap is located on the fabric piece on each side, near the
wheel.
The Velcro strips shown above (each side of the textile) protect the
child’s fingers from potential pinch related damage.
It is important to tighten them accordingly around the structure and to
make sure they are properly positioned by attempting to go through
the textile envelope from inside.

VERSION V4.1 19
•Pull the assigned fabric cover to the left of the module;

The fabric should perfectly match the shape of the metal frame at the
front of the module.
