Hitching The Burley-Solo To Your Bicycle - Burley Trailer User Manual

Thread the shoulder strap thru the back of the O-ring located on the crotch
strap and connect buckle (A) at opposite shoulder. Tighten as necessary.
Adjust the crotch strap (B) so the O-ring is at the child's sternum. Be sure to
connect and tighten the lap belt (C) after connecting the shoulder strap.
The straps and sliding buckles sewn to the backrest of the child seat are
part of a self-adjusting system that keeps the shoulder straps at the correct
height for children of various sizes. When you tighten the shoulder harness,
the sliding buckles allow the shoulder belts to come across the top of the
child's shoulders, creating a snug fi t. At the same time, the sliding buckles
keep the straps from falling off of the shoulders.
It is essential that both cyclist and children wear helmets when trailer is
in use. In event of accident, helmets can prevent or signifi cantly reduce
injury.
