2. Check that the bicycle is suitable for adding supplementary loads. Check the information supplied with the bicycle or ask for information and advice from the bicycle manufacturer.
3. Adjust the seat and its components in order to give the child the most comfort and safety. When the child is in the seat, the backrest should be slightly tilted backwards, so as to prevent the child from sliding forward.
4. Check to ensure that each part of your bicycle is working properly with the seat mounted.
5. Check the existence of any laws present in your country that govern the use of child bike seats.
6. The seat cannot be attached to the seat post unless allowed by the manufacturer of the cycle.
7. Ensure not to carry a child that is to young to seat safely to the seat. Check initially and then periodically that the weight and size of the child does not exceed the maximum allowed by the seat. Carry only children that are able to seat unaided for a longer period of time, at least as long as the intended cycle journey.
8. Check that the child or part of his clothes do not come into contact with moving parts of the seat or bicycle. Avoid the child's hands and feet coming into contact with the wheel, in the sprung saddle or being caught in the brakes.
9. Ensure that there are no sharp edges that could come into contact with the child.
10. Ensure that the safety belts are not loose and do not come into contact with the moving parts of the bicycle, especially with the wheels, even when the child is is not being carried in the seat.
11. Always use the safety belts. Make sure your child is properly secured with the seat belts.

14. Check that the seat is not too hot (e.g., overheated by the sun)prior to placing the child in it.
15. Remove the seat when the bicycle is transported by car. Strong wind could damage the seat or detach it from the bicycle, causing accidents.
16. Before each use, check the seat is fitted onto the fastening block correctly: on pulling the support arm upwards, the fastening block must hold the seat down firmly. Check carefully the stability when installing the child to the seat on the bicycle.
17. The seat material (polypropylene) loses some of its mechanical properties with aging if exposed for longer periods to environmental conditions (sun, rain, ice, etc.). In the case of normal use and exposure to environmental conditions, the seat should be replaced after 3 years.
18. Entrapment is not only limited to the child seat itself. Possible areas at the bicycle shall be considered as well (e.g. accessible saddle spring), consumer shall be informed regarding other possible entrapments at the bicycle.

20. Ensure to cover any exposed rare saddle springs.
21. The seat shall be installed as close to the saddle as possible.
