Taking children with you
The only possible and legal way of transporting kids by
bike is in special child-carrier seats
(e)
or trailers
(f)
.
Contact your MERIDA dealer.
G
Only buy tested child seats, child trailers, and
kids’ bike towing devices (e.g. DIN/GS tested
systems) and ensure that they are properly
mounted. The manuals of the manufacturers included
in the delivery of the system provide detailed informa-
tion in this regard.
Child seats
Most MERIDA mountain and cross bikes are not de-
signed for child seat mounting. This applies in particular
to those with very light frames. Ask your MERIDA dealer
for advice and have a look at the bike card. Also read the
operating instructions of the manufacturers which were
supplied with the child seat.
Child trailers
A
If you want to use your MERIDA bike or
pedelec to tow a trailer
(g)
, please check
whether it is designed accordingly. Have a
look at the bike card or ask your MERIDA dealer for
advice.
G
Always secure the little passengers with the
seat belt, as uncontrolled movements of the
child can make the MERIDA bike or the trailer
topple over.
G
Make sure the child you are taking with you
always wears a suitable helmet. A trailer is
an insufficient protection in the event of an
accident. Keep in mind that you should always wear a
helmet, as well.
A
Please note that your stopping distance in-
creases due to the additional load of the child
trailer.
