Introduction

Once you’ve done the initial assembly and read the safety
guidelines, you’re ready to go! Before trailering, be sure you have
the safety harness, seat belt, tow bar, trailer wheels and hitch
securely attached.

Note

: Any reference to left or right is made in direction of travel,

as if you were sitting inside the trailer, looking forward.

Safety Guidelines


1. Inspect and maintain your bicycle and trailer regularly.

See “Safety Checklists”.

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

trailer is heavier and less responsive. Avoid sudden swerving,
rocks and curbs. Experiment with the loaded trailer in an
uncongested area until you become familiar with it.

3. The minimum age for the cyclist is 16 years.
4. The maximum trailer load limit for children and/or cargo is

75 lbs (34 kg in Europe ) for single trailers and

100 lbs (40 kg in Europe) for double trailers. Secure
children and/or cargo in the center, forward of the axle and
as low as possible.

5. The trailer seat is intended for 1 or 2 children who are old

enough to wear helmets, sit upright and alone, and with
adequate neck strength to hold their heads upright while
trailering. A physician should evaluate anyone who is of
questionable developmental age for trailering.

6. The maximum age for passengers is 6 years. Never carry a

child whose sitting height (with helmet) is above the roll bar.

7. Fasten the seat belt and shoulder harnesses so that each

child is held securely. Seat a single child in the center.
Periodically check the placement of the shoulder straps,
especially on sleeping children.
