child’s sternum.

Hook seat divider strap to snap

hook at front of trailer.

Crotch strap O-ring must meet at

child’s sternum.

Child and cyclist must wear helmets when trailering. Helmets can prevent

or significantly reduce head injury in event of accident.

The straps and sliding buckles sewn to the backrest of the child seat

are part of a self-adjusting system that keeps the shoulder straps at the

correct height for children of various sizes. When you tighten the

shoulder harness, the sliding buckles allow the shoulder belts to come

across the top of the child’s shoulders, creating a snug fit. In addition,

the sliding buckles keep the straps from falling off of the shoulders.

IMPORTANT: Always fasten and adjust the two buckles behind the

child seat when using the trailer.

Thread each shoulder strap thru the back of each O-ring located on

the crotch strap and connect buckle (A) at opposite shoulder.

Tighten as necessary. Adjust the crotch strap (B) so the O-ring is at

the child’s sternum. Be sure to connect and tighten the lap belt (C)

after connecting the shoulder straps.

Starting and Stopping

Because of the trailer’s additional weight, a bicycle pulling a trailer

will be slower to start up and stop, and because of its length it

requires more time to cross streets or paths. Your entire vehicle is

heavier and less responsive. This means you should think further

ahead in anticipating stops, turns, and starts. Note that your trailer

extends out further on the left; allow for this difference when

turning, passing pedestrians, or approaching obstacles (like posts

on bike paths). We recommend you spend some time experimenting

with a loaded trailer in an uncongested area to become familiar with

how your heavier, longer vehicle responds.

Prevent Trailer Tip Over

Just like automobile and motorcycle trailers, bicycle trailers can tip

over. To avoid overturning: Do not pull your trailer over curbs or hit

holes or other obstructions in the road. Instruct children not to

bounce, rock, or lean, which can cause a shift of weight. Do not make

high-speed turns or descents when pulling the trailer. Always

corner with caution at 5 m.p.h. or less, as the trailer cannot lean into

a turn the way a bicycle can. Do not under any circumstances travel

faster than 15 m.p.h.—all road irregularities and your slowness to

react are greatly magnified.

Trailers can tip over causing damage to trailer and serious injury to cyclist

or passengers.

AVOID causes of tip over, especially

• Children leaning or bouncing

• Hitting potholes, curbs, other road

obstructions

• Taking turns too fast

• Sudden swerving

• Off-banked turns

• Improper wheel installation

• Improper tire inflation

Fit, Alert, Adult Pilot

To safely pull a trailer, you need to be a fit, experienced cyclist. You

must be alert, have good sight and hearing, and adequate strength
