A child seat is a system for carrying small
children on the cycle (see “Illustr.: Child seat”).
The following points must be noted when using a child seat:
x Only have child seats fitted if your cycle is suitable for this (see the “Basics / Proper
use” chapter). Consult your dealer about suitable child seats.
x Only use child seats which are installed so that the child sits behind the rider.
From a design perspective, not all cycles are able to have child seats fitted.
The user and fitting instructions provided by the child seat manufacturer
must be followed. With full-suspension frames, the suspension system
tuning must be checked. Consult your dealer.
