Read instructions carefully before placing a pet in this
seat. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury. By attaching the Buddyrider pet seat to a
bicycle you are acknowledging that you have read
and understand the warnings and instructions.
Please note that there are the inherent dangers that
may be associated with transporting a pet on a
bicycle just as there are to you when riding a bicycle
and in no way is Buddy Ventures International Ltd.
responsible if injury does occur. Only experienced adult
cyclists, who are very confident in their abilities as a
rider should transport a pet using this seat. The
Buddyrider is intended for pleasure riding only, if you
decide to partake in extreme cycling with your buddy
on board you run a greater risk of injury.
You should check that screws and bolts are tight and
secure before each ride.
DO NOT MOUNT TO CARBON FIBER SEAT POST.
If you have a carbon fiber seat post you must replace it
with an aluminum or steel seat post.
Stay Safe!
Just like a seat belt on a child car seat, the Buddyrider
safety harness is designed to limit unnecessary
movement so your pet remains in a safe position to
enjoy the ride. This harness should be used at all times.
Prior to using, check the seat is secure to the bicycle and
no parts are cracked, loose, missing, or broken.
Due to the size and weight associated with transporting
a pet on a bicycle, extreme care must be taken at all
times. The rider may be required to make quick
corrective action when the pet moves its weight.
Care should be taken when placing your pet into the
seat, and also when removing them. This should be done
in a safe place away from distractions such as other pets
and traffic.
Initial rides should be brief, over smooth ground, in a safe
location and away from all distractions.
Increase the duration only when both rider and pet
become accustomed and confident. Extended rides
during extreme temperatures (hot or cold) should be
avoided. Always bring water along for the ride.
Never leave a pet unattended in this seat. Due to the
higher center of gravity, a bicycle may fall over if parked
on its stand or without proper support.
Do not allow your pet to become a distraction when
riding. Keep your focus on the safe operation of your
bicycle, the rules of the road, the environment around
you and other cyclists, pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
