1. Carry only a child who is able to hold his/her head up while
wearing a correctly sized bicycle helmet. The age and weight
limits for the BabySeat rack are
40lbs (9kgs ~ 18kgs) respectively. Never exceed these limits.

2. Bicycle operator's age must be at least

3. The load of a baby carrier may lessen the stability and alter
the riding characteristics of the bicycle, particularly regarding
steering and braking.

4. Make sure bicycle is stable and under control when loading
and unloading child.

5. This baby seat system is not compatible with rear suspension
bikes or bikes equipped with disc brakes.

6. The bicycle to which the BabySeat and rack is mounted
must be in good working order, of a type appropriate for the
additional load, and of proper size and adjustment for the
operator. See bicycle owner's manual for additional bicycle
loading information. Make sure not to overload your bicycle
when using the BabySeat and rack, and make sure not to
attach additional luggage or accessories to the rack.

7. BabySeat rack is designed for use on 26" wheel and 700C
wheel bicycles only. It's compatible with Topeak BabySeat
only.

8. Bicycle operator and child should always wear helmets which
have been approved by nationally recognized standards.

9. The bicycle operator should avoid busy streets, bad weather
and ride with extra care and reduced speed.

10. Make sure BabySeat safety harness is fastened correctly and
firmly over child.

4. Tighten fasteners securely before each use and check
them frequently.

15. Before each ride, ensure the mounted BabySeat does not
interfere with braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle.

16. Do not allow any of the child's body, clothing, shoe laces,
or toys to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle.

17. Make no modifications to the BabySeat and rack.

18. Never ride the bicycle at night without adequate lighting.

19. Always remove BabySeat from the rack when the bicycle is
being transported on a motor vehicle. This is necessary
because the force of the high wind on BabySeat may
degrade or damage BabySeat or the rack to the point that
they will not perform reliably.

20. Presence of a child carrier on a bicycle may require
alteration of the method used by the rider to mount or
dismount the bicycle. Care must be taken whenever the
rider gets on or off the bicycle.

21. Don't use the BabySeat if any part is broken.

22. Ensure that there are no sharp objects which the child can
touch, e.g. frayed cables.

23. When no child is being carried, fasten the retention system
buckles so the straps do not hang loosely.

instructions can lead to serious injury or
