Use of Child Seats
Most STEVENS bicycles are approved for being used with child seats.
The following STEVENS bicycles are approved for being used with child seats:
• STEVENS city and trekking bikes
• STEVENS cross ad cyclocross bikes made of aluminium
• STEVENS gravel bikes made of aluminium
• STEVENS hardtail mountain bikes made of aluminium
The use of child seats is not permitted on:

• STEVENS tandem bicycles
When taking your child with you in a child seat, observe the following points:
• Always put a fitting helmet on your child and this already before you place him/
she in the child seat. Many accidents happen when the bicycle is stationary,
e.g. when it tips over. Be a good example and remember to always wear a
helmet yourself.
• Never set off before having buckled up your child in the child seat. Uncontrolled
movements of the child can make your STEVENS bicycle tilt.
• Do not overload your child seat. Overloading can result in breakage of the
frame, the fork or the components. Risk of accident and injury!
• Cover the springs of your saddle to make sure that your child will not have the
fingers pinched.
• Adjust the tyre pressure to the additional weight. The maximum pressure is
indicated on the tyre side
Danger:
Child seats mounted with a suitable adapter for pannier racks/luggage
carriers are only permitted, when the pannier rack complies with the
