The following points have to be observed when using a child seat:
• Always put a fitting helmet on your child (b) and this already before you place him/her in the child seat. Many accidents happen when the bicycle is stationary, e.g. when it tips over. Be a good example and remember to always wear a helmet yourself.
• Never set off before having buckled up your child in the child seat. Uncontrolled movements of the child can cause your URBAN JUNGLE bike to tilt.
• Do not overload your child seat. Overloading can result in breakage of the frame, the fork or the components. Risk of accident and injury!
• Cover the springs of your saddle to make sure that your child will not have the fingers pinched.
• Adjust the tyre pressure to the additional weight. The maximum pressure is indicated on the tyre side (c).
• Make yourself familiar with the modified riding and braking behaviour of your URBAN JUNGLE bike with child seat in an area free of traffic.
• Adjust your riding style especially in wet conditions to the modified riding characteristics and braking response (d) of your URBAN JUNGLE bike.
• Start by practising getting on the bike and riding with an empty child seat (e) in an area free of traffic. If you feel secure practise riding with your child in an area free of traffic.
• The weight of your child generally modifies the riding characteristics of your URBAN JUNGLE bike and extends the stopping distance! Therefore, practise riding and braking with your loaded URBAN JUNGLE bike in a place free of traffic. Ride particularly considerately and anticipate critical situations.
• Keep in mind that much payload also increases wear and tear. Therefore, check the condition of the wearing parts regularly, at least observe the intervals given in the chapter «URBAN JUNGLE Service and Maintenance Schedule». Under adverse conditions, e.g. when you ride a lot in rainy and dirty conditions and with lots of additional loads or when you cover a lot of altitude metres, you have to anticipate even clearly shorter intervals.
