IntroductionIntroduction
Proper use
The Kidgoo was designed as a bicycle trailer and comes with an additional buggy and walker
function. For Trailer mode, use a tow bar with coupler to connect the trailer to a suitable towing
vehicle (bicycle or motorised pedelec with a maximum speed of 25 km/h). With the buggy wheel
attached, the Kidgoo can be used as a child carrier in Buggy mode. In Walker mode you can use it
when jogging or walking.
The Kidgoo is available as a one-seater (Kidgoo) or as a two-seater (Kidgoo) and should be used
exclusively for the private transportation for one or two children on paved routes. You can also
carry baggage in the compartments intended for that purpose, provided that you observe the
permissible weight limits and stow the baggage securely so that the load is evenly distributed.
During the journey, each child must be secured in the seat by a safety harness. If you are carrying
only one child in the two-seater, you must alter the harness arrangement as per the instructions
in the chapter “Adjusting the safety harnesses (Kidgoo2)” on page 31 so that the child is seated
securely in the centre. To safely transport a baby, use the separately available adaptor and install
a baby seat of the class 0+.
The Kidgoo fulfils all safety requirements of the European standard for bicycles and bicycle trailers
(DIN EN 15918). It also considers the wheeled child conveyances norm EN 1888. Use as a bicycle
trailer is permitted in darkness or in conditions of poor visibility only if a rear light conforming to
the road traffic regulations has been retrofitted to the back of the trailer.
It must not be used on unsurfaced ground, to transport baggage in the passenger compartment,
to carry animals or for commercial use. It is essential to observe the limit values specified in the
chapter “Performance limits” on page 4 and to check them before every journey. In all cases,
the rider of the combination or the person using it in Buggy or Walker mode is responsible for the
proper use and roadworthiness of the Kidgoo.
