GENERAL SAFETY GUIDELINES
THINK SAFETY FIRST! Check the working conditions of
both bike and trailer before each use. If you discover broken
components, misalignments or missing parts, correct the
problem prior to use. Please refer to all warnings and
guidelines for the proper use of this trailer. Be aware of what is
necessary to safely control the bike-trailer combination. Follow
these safety guidelines for safe and effective performance.
Inspect the trailer and its parts before and after each use.
Proper care and maintenance of the trailer are essential to
safety.
When assembling the trailer, make sure that the wheels are
correctly and securely installed as described in the assembly
instructions. Inflate the tires to the desired pressure and check
the pressure before each use. Over-inflation may cause the
trailer to bounce or turn over. Use only tires with street tread
and not with BMX or knobby tread.
Attach the hitch connector securely to the bicycle frame. The
connector should be tightened and the safety strap wrapped
around the stay or frame and the hook snapped into the

4
D-ring
The person riding the towing bicycle should be at least 18
years of age and in good physical condition.
Be sure that the bicycle used with the trailer is in good
working condition and has good brakes. A bicycle shop can
help you with inspection and maintenance. It is
recommendable to equip the towing bicycle with rear-view
mirrors. Riding at dusk or dawn with this trailer is not
recommended.
Do not overload the trailer. The load limit for cargo and/or
passengers is 45kg (100lb). Position the load as low as
possible and center it within the trailer (front to rear and left
to right). Any extra gear should be placed towards the rear.
All loads should be secured so that it does not shift.
IMPORTANT: Instruct children riding in the trailer not to
bounce, rock or lean; such movements may cause the trailer
to lean or flip. The tow-bar must not bear any extra load.
Do not attempt to install other seating systems in the trailer. It
is not designed for car seats, stroller seats, infant beds, or any
other type of seating. Use of any seating system other than
the original equipment seat will void the warranty, and may
result in damage to the trailer or injury of the passengers.
Pulling this trailer affects the operation of the bicycle.
Stopping, starting and turning are affected, depending on the
weight of the cargo. To familiarize yourself with the changes,
load the trailer to capacity and practice in a safe area. Do not
use your trailer until you have become accustomed to how it
affects your bicycle handling.
SUFFOCATION WARNING: Plastic bags can be
dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags
away from babies and children.

RIDING SAFETY GUIDELINES
Follow these safety guidelines for safe and effective performance.
Before using, be sure the trailer/jogger/stroller is correctly
assembled according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Before attaching this trailer to your bicycle, please have your
bicycle inspection by a qualified bicycle mechanic for
compatibility.
Before each ride, ensure the attached trailer does not interfere
with braking, pedaling or steering the bicycle.
Make sure your bike brakes work properly. Braking
distance is increased when pulling a trailer.
A bicycle with trailer attached requires a wide turning radius!
Do not turn sharply.
When pulling one child in the trailer, seat him/her in the
center.
Never remove protective canopy when pulling children in the
trailer.
Never pull this trailer or push jogger/stroller at night without
adequate lighting and reflectors, obey all local legal
requirements for lighting and reflectors.
Always use the safety flag when pulling this trailer.
A reflector that complies with CPSC regulations must be
mounted and visible on the rear of the trailer.
Be aware of exposure hazards such as wind-chill and heat
exhaustion by less-active trailer passengers in prolonged
exposure in colder temperatures, or by extended periods in
warmer temperatures without adequate ventilation and
hydration.
Use extra caution when turning on uneven pavement, and
going downhill.
Do not ride over curbs. Avoid bumps and holes. Always
signal your turns.
Do not travel on the highways, busy streets or in areas unsafe

6
for bicycling.

Do not travel or descend at high speeds.
Do not exceed a safe speed. We recommend no speed over
13kmph (8 mph) and reducing speed to 5kmph (3mph) when
turning, because high speeds adversely affect your ability to
control the bike and to notice road irregularities.
Do not allow any of the child’s body, clothing, shoelaces, or
toys to come in contact with moving parts.
PASSENGER SAFETY GUIDELINES
Follow these safety guidelines for safe and effective performance.
The safety of your child is of great concern. The trailer seat is
intended for passengers older than 12 months and able to wear a
CPSC approved helmet. Your children must be able to hold
their heads upright. Check with your pediatrician to make sure
your child’s development makes him or her a suitable passenger
in this trailer. Make sure that your child is seated securely and
the harness is properly engaged. The child’s sitting height
should be below the crossbar, and the correct shoulder strap
height must be used.
