1 Safety precautions
DANGER! Follow and comply with the following safety precautions! If
you do not, an accident or defect could seriously endanger your childʼs life.
General warnings
The total weight of the rider, child and seat must not exceed the total load
allowed for the bicycle. Check that the bicycle is suitable for adding sup-
plementary loads. We also advise checking the information supplied with
the bicycle or asking information and advice from the bicycle manufacturer.
Never carry two children at the same time in the seat or on the bicycle. An
excessive load could prevent the bicycle being ridden correctly. In addition,
correct safety for the child may not be guaranteed Periodically check that the
childʼs weight does not exceed the maximum weight for the seat.
No modifications must be made to the child seat! After an accident, have the
seat checked by a specialized dealer or a specialist and replace the damaged
parts.
Never use the seat if it has not been checked or has damaged parts!
The seat material (polypropylene) loses some of its mechanical properties
with ageing if exposed for longer periods to the environment (sun, rain, ice,
etc.).
In the case of normal use and exposure to environmental conditions, the
seat should be replaced after 3 years.
Always remove the seat from the bicycle if it is to be carried on the roof of
a car or by a bicycle-holder. Resistance to the air could damage the seat
or pull it from the bicycle. To carry a child under 7 on the seat, the bicycle
rider must be at least 18 years old according to the Highway Code in force
in Italy. If the seat is to be used in other countries, please check the law in
force each time.
For safety reasons, both the rider and child should always wear helmets.
Always ride carefully and respect the rules of the highway code.
OKBABY SIRIUS Child bicycle seat
Place the child in the seat only if able to sit up unaided and without any effort
(from about nine months and/or a weight of about 9 kg).
Safety precautions when mounting the seat and/or for the bicycle
The child seat should be fitted on touring bicycles with normal wheels. The
use of the seat on racing bikes with thin wheels may be a risk for safety.
Cover any springs under the saddle with an appropriate cover (available at
specialized dealers) to avoid the childʼs fingers getting trapped.
Cover the rear wheel with suitable side protection (available from your spe-
cialized dealer) to prevent the child coming into contact with the wheel as it
turns. To increase the stability of your bicycle, we recommend fitting it with
a robust and stable stand.
Make sure that the child cannot operate any safety systems, locks or other
blocks present on the bicycle whilst in the seat. Never carry other luggage
or additional equipment apart from the child seat. If luggage or additional
equipment has to be carried, place it at the opposite end of the bicycle, for
example in the case of a seat fixed at the rear, position the additional load
in the front and vice versa.
If the child seat is not correctly fixed, this may be a danger for the childʼs
life!

2 Appropriate use
The SIRIUS child seat is designed and approved to carry children weighing from 9
to 22 kg and/or from nine months to 6 years of age. The child must be capable of
setting upright on his own before using this seat. The child seat can be fitted on
to bicycles or bicycles with assisted pedalling by an electric motor; fitting it on to
a two-wheeled vehicle other than bicycles (such as scooters, motorcycles, mopeds
etc.) does not comply with regulations and is therefore inadmissible. The child
seat is mounted onto the bicycle frame column tube under the saddle, behind the
rider as illustrated in the assembly instructions. All other use is forbidden.

Before using the seat the first time:
After installing the seat and placed the child inside it, become familiar with
the bicycle and make sure you realize that the balances and weights have
changed, before going on to the road.
Before setting off on every ride:
1) Check the support arm: It must be fixed in the right position. Check that
the fastening block safety button has clicked correctly into the two slots on
the support arm. Pull the support arm upwards to make sure it is well secu-
red.
2) Check the tightness of the screws of the fastening block. It must not
move and/or move on the frame. Check this at regular intervals.
3) Make sure that the child seat once installed does not interfere with the
operation of the brakes and that the moving parts of the bicycle – pedals
and rear wheel – do not come into contact with the seat.
4) Failure to use the safety belt endangers the childʼs life! Always fasten the
safety belts, even if it is only a very short ride. The belts must be comfortab-
le, but without sliding off the shoulders. If the seat is empty, fasten the belt
otherwise it could become entangled in any obstacles. Always fasten the foot
straps so that the child cannot get free.
5) The seat and the padding can get hot if exposed to the sun for a long
period. Make sure that neither are not too hot before putting the child in the
seat.
6) Make sure that the child and its clothing cannot come into contact with
the moving parts of the bicycle, in particular the childʼs feet with the wheels,
the fingers with the brake mechanisms and the support springs of the bicyc-
le saddle. Check these points periodically as the child grows.
7) Make sure that the child cannot come into contact with any sharp objects
on the bicycle, for example frayed or deteriorated brake cables.
During the ride:
Never park the bicycle leaving the child in the seat, even if the position of
the bicycle seems stable. If the child is in the seat, the bicycle must always
be held by the rider. Remember that the child perceives the weather diffe-
rently (wind, cold etc.) as it is not moving. Protect the child with suitable
clothing.
Instructions for use and assembly LIB006R06EU Edition: 09-2007

4 Product Description
The seat is suitable for bicycles with wheels of 26ʼʼ/28ʼʼ and frames with a
round cross-section of 28-40 mm. It can not be installed on different sized
frames or those with oval or square bars.
It can not be installed if the luggage rack on the bicycle is over 15 cm in
width. In this case remove the luggage rack and replace it with a narrower
model before installing the child seat. The child seat is fitted with an A.B.S.
inclination adjuster system. We have designed and patented this system
(Automatic Baricentre System) which automatically keeps the barycentre of
the weight in the correct position on the bicycle wheel axis to guarantee
safety when carrying your child. We have combined comfort with riding
manageability.
Please contact the manufacturer if you are not certain that the child seat is
suitable for your bicycle.

Fastening and unfastening the childʼs
feet.
Always make sure your childʼs feet are
well fastened to the footrests. The safe-
ty belt is long for easy adjustment. To
release the belt 22, lift it out to free it
from the bridge trapping it.
WARNING! Never pull the belt on
your childʼs foot too tight, this could hurt
him or cause him to get cramp during the
ride.
DANGER! After having fixed the
footrests for your child, it is very impor-
tant to check that the child cannot release
its feet on its own: lift up your childʼs leg
to check it is well secured.
DANGER! It may occur that your
child is able to pull his foot out of
his shoe, which remains attached to the
footrest by the strap 22; to prevent this
from happening, always check that your
childʼs shoes are correctly fastened.
DANGER! Once you have placed the
child in the seat, check to see that the
seat is slightly inclined backwards to pre-
vent the child from slipping forwards and
sliding out of the seat. Check therefore
that the child seat backrest is adjusted so
that it inclines backwards slightly.
