WARNINGS
CYCLING WITH A CHILD IS A POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS ACTIVITY!
This manual contains many WARNINGS and notes. Be sure to
read and understand the manual thoroughly BEFORE taking
your child for a ride. If you have any questions, please call us
directly at 1.800.456.BELL.
1. Read all instructions before use! Failure to read, understand
and follow these instructions may result in an otherwise
avoidable accident. You or your passenger could
be seriously injured or die.
2. The safe and proper use of this product is your responsibility!
In addition to obeying all traffic laws, and using proper hand
signals, the rules listed below must be followed at all times.
3. Use this child carrier only with non-motorized bicycles
capable of supporting the additional load of the child carrier,
child, pack and contents. Do not use your child carrier on
motorcycles, mopeds, automobiles or any other motor
vehicle. Check the information supplied with your bike to
verify compatibility or ask your retailer.
4. We recommend a frequent safety check of your bike. The
bicycle to which the child carrier is attached must be in good
working order, be able to accommodate the additional load,
and be the proper size and adjustment for the rider.

5. Do not modify, fix any part, or alter child carrier or bike.
Contact Customer Service if you are not sure whether your
2
bicycle is compatible with your child carrier or if you have
questions or concerns about any parts or components.
6. Do not operate a bicycle with a child carrier attached without
first reading and understanding this manual. If you have any
7
questions, contact our Customer Service.
7. Do not use on any bicycle with rear suspension, bicycles that
have a suspension seat post or with frames that are square,
triangular or carbon fiber.
12
8. Do not leave the child unattended in the child carrier.
9. Both cyclist and child must wear approved bicycle helmets.
10. Children must be old enough to wear a helmet and to sit upright
without assistance. If your child is too small to properly wear
the smallest size approved helmet, he/she should not ride in
the carrier. Some states have mandatory helmet requirements
and minimum age limits for children riding in bicycle carriers.
Consult your pediatrician before carrying any child.
11. Do not exceed the maximum seat load of 33 pounds for
child, pack and contents. The load of a front child carrier may
lessen the stability and maneuverability and alter the riding
characteristics of the bicycle, particularly regarding steering
and braking. Check child's weight periodically to ensure they
have not exceeded the weight capacity.
12. Always fasten harness securely around child. Periodically
check placement of harness, especially for a sleeping child.
Do not allow any of the child's body, clothing, shoelaces or
toys to come in contact with moving parts of the bicycle, as
this can lead to entrapments and cause injury or death to
both the rider and the child.
13. Make sure there are no sharp objects the child can touch
while in the child carrier. As this can lead to entrapements
and cause injury or death to both the rider and the child.
14. Instruct your child not to bounce, rock or lean. Sudden
shifting of weight can lead to serious injury or death to you
and your passenger.
15. Presence of a child carrier on a bicycle may require alteration
of the method used by the rider to mount or dismount the
bicycle, as well as reduce the movability of the handlebar.
Care must be taken whenever the rider gets on or off the
bicycle. It is recommended that a change to the handlebar
is made if the reduced angle of steering to each side is
less than 45 degrees.
16. Cyclist must be an experienced, strong rider weighing
100 pounds or more.
17. Do not use a kickstand or other parking device to support the
bicycle with a child carrier attached. Attaching a carrier can
change the balance of the bicycle making kickstands ineffective.
The bicycle can fall over, damaging it and the child carrier.
18. Do not transport bicycle on an automobile with the child
carrier attached. The force of the high wind on the carrier
may degrade or damage the carrier to the point that it will not
perform reliably.
19. Avoid riding at night. Your ability to see and to be seen is
greatly reduced. If you must ride at night, use proper lighting
and reflectors on your bike and wear reflective clothing.
20. Never ride in inclement or hazardous conditions. Children
should be properly clothed to be protected from the elements.
Check the temperature of the child carrier before placing child
in it to make sure the carrier is not too hot.
21. Never install both a rear child carrier and a front child carrier
on a single bicycle.
22. Do not mount anything else to the suspension rack except for
the Bell child carrier.
23. Before each ride, ensure the mounted carrier does not interfere
with braking, pedaling, or steering of the bicycle.
24. Tighten fasteners securely and check them frequently.
25. When no child is being carried, fasten the retention system
buckles so the straps do not hang loosely and potentially
become trapped in any moving parts of the bicycle.
26. Always check any local laws specific to carrying of children in
carriers attached to bicycles before riding.
27. Do not use the child carrier if any part is broken.
IMPORTANT
• Do NOT mount the child carrier while the child is sitting in it.
• Make sure that the brake cables and gears do not get in the
way of the mount.
• Attach mounting bracket around seat tube of bicycle only.
Do NOT attach mounting bracket to seat post.
• Only attach mounting bracket to bicycle frames with round
cross section tubing.
• Cannot be mounted on bicycles with square, triangular or
carbon fiber frames.
