Chapter 1 Childʼs bicycle seat OKBABY SIRIUS
1 Safety precautions
DANGER! Follow and comply with the following safety precautions! If
you do not, an accident or defect could seriously endanger your childʼs life.
General warnings
The total weight of the rider, child and seat must not exceed the total load
allowed for the bicycle. Check that the bicycle is suitable for adding sup-
plementary loads. We also advise checking the information supplied with
the bicycle or asking information and advice from the bicycle manufacturer.
Never carry two children at the same time in the seat or on the bicycle. An
excessive load could prevent the bicycle being ridden correctly. In addition,
correct safety for the child may not be guaranteed Periodically check that the
childʼs weight does not exceed the maximum weight for the seat.
No modifications must be made to the child seat! After an accident, have the
seat checked by a specialized dealer or a specialist and replace the damaged
parts.
Never use the seat if it has not been checked or has damaged parts!
The seat material (polypropylene) loses some of its mechanical properties
with ageing if exposed for longer periods to the environment (sun, rain, ice,
etc.).
In the case of normal use and exposure to environmental conditions, the
seat should be replaced after 3 years.
Always remove the seat from the bicycle if it is to be carried on the roof of
a car or by a bicycle-holder. Resistance to the air could damage the seat
or pull it from the bicycle. To carry a child under 7 on the seat, the bicycle
rider must be at least 18 years old according to the Highway Code in force
in Italy. If the seat is to be used in other countries, please check the law in
force each time.
For safety reasons, both the rider and child should always wear helmets.
Always ride carefully and respect the rules of the highway code.
OKBABY SIRIUS Child bicycle seat
Place the child in the seat only if able to sit up unaided and without any effort
(from about nine months and/or a weight of about 9 kg).
Safety precautions when mounting the seat and/or for the bicycle
The child seat should be fitted on touring bicycles with normal wheels. The
use of the seat on racing bikes with thin wheels may be a risk for safety.
Cover any springs under the saddle with an appropriate cover (available at
specialized dealers) to avoid the childʼs fingers getting trapped.
Cover the rear wheel with suitable side protection (available from your spe-
cialized dealer) to prevent the child coming into contact with the wheel as it
turns. To increase the stability of your bicycle, we recommend fitting it with
a robust and stable stand.
Make sure that the child cannot operate any safety systems, locks or other
blocks present on the bicycle whilst in the seat. Never carry other luggage
or additional equipment apart from the child seat. If luggage or additional
equipment has to be carried, place it at the opposite end of the bicycle, for
example in the case of a seat fixed at the rear, position the additional load
in the front and vice versa.
If the child seat is not correctly fixed, this may be a danger for the childʼs
life!
