Burley d’Lite Owner’s Instruction and Safety Manual

Use Your Flag

Always use the safety ﬂ ag—it’s an essential safety device. The moving ﬂ ag will

help make you more visible to motorists and other cyclists.

Protect Your Child

When pulling a child, use the shoulder harness, lap belt, and child helmet at all

times. Always fasten the seat belt so that each child is held securely. For maxi-

mum stability and safety, seat a single child in the center of the trailer. Periodically

check placement of shoulder straps, especially for a sleeping child. Check that a

child cannot put a ﬁ nger into the wheel spokes.

Be aware that children get thirsty when riding in the trailer. Bring plenty of water,

especially on longer rides; keep a full water bottle in the trailer where your chil-

dren can easily quench their thirst when they desire.

Observe Age and Height Restrictions

The trailer seat is intended only for children old enough to wear a helmet and sit

upright alone. Your child must have adequate neck strength to hold his or her

head up while trailering. Check with your pediatrician if you are unsure about

your child’s ability to sit upright and hold his or her head up. Never carry a child

whose sitting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar, because their chance of

injury is signiﬁ cantly higher in the event of tip over.

Follow the Rules of the Road

Bicycles are vehicles, and are required to observe all rules of the road. Always

signal turns and stops; ride with both hands on the handlebars except when

signalling. Scan ahead for dangerous sit u a tions, and an tic i pate turning trafﬁ c.

Watch out for parked cars and opening doors. Never run stop sig nals, and never

ride against oncoming trafﬁ c. On bike paths, give au di ble warn ing when pass ing

pe des tri ans from behind. If you are not aware of your lo cal and state bi cy cle reg-

u la tions, contact your nearby police or motor-vehicles ofﬁ ce for more informa-

tion. Refer to the owner’s manual of your lead bicycle for safe cycling information.

Have Fun Defensively

Besides being practical and easy-to-use, the Burley d’Lite allows people and

children to get outdoors for some fun together, rain or shine. The fact that you’re

getting exercise and fresh air at the same time is an added beneﬁ t! So, whether

you’re going down to the corner store, across town on a picnic, or off for an ex-

tended vacation, enjoy your Burley d’Lite and remember . . . ALWAYS RIDE DE FEN -

SIVE LY!
