1 Safety warnings
DANGER! Follow and respect the following safety warnings!
Otherwise, in the event of an accident or defect, the child’s life may be in danger.
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 the addition of supplementary loads. We also
recommend checking the information provided with the bicycle or asking for
information and advice from its manufacturer.
Never carry two children at the same time on the seat or on the bicycle.
An excessive load would prevent riding it correctly. It would also not be possible to
guarantee the correct safety for the child.
Periodically check that the child’s weight does not exceed the maximum weight
allowed by the seat.
No modifications must be made to the child’s seat! After an accident, have the seat
checked by a specialized dealer or a specialist and have any damaged parts
replaced.
The seat must in no case be used if it has not been checked or has any damaged
parts!
The material of the seat (polypropylene) loses some of its mechanical properties
with the ageing process, if exposed for a long period to the effects of the environ-
ment (sun, rain, ice etc.).
In the case of normal use and exposure to environmental effects, the seat should be
replaced after three years.
Always remove the seat from the bicycle if it is carried on the roof of a car or in a
bicycle carrier. Resistance of the air could ruin the seat or remove it from the
bicycle. To carry a child under 7 on the seat, the person riding the bicycle must be
at least 18 years old, according to the rules of the Highway Code in force in Italy. If
the child’s seat is to be used in other countries, please check on the laws in force
each time.
For safety reasons, a protective helmet should be worn both by the person riding
the bicycle and by the child.
Always ride carefully and respect the rules of the traffic.
OKBABY ORION child’s bicycle seat
Place the child in the seat only if he/she can stay seated autonomously and without
strain (from an age of about nine months and/or from a weight of about 9 kg.).
Safety of assembly and/or bicycle
The child’s seat should be installed on touring bicycles with normal wheels.
The use of the bicycle seat on racing bicycles with thin wheels may be a safety risk.
Cover the front wheel with suitable lateral protection (available at your specialized
dealer) to prevent the child coming into contact with the wheel as it revolves.
To increase the stability of your bicycle, we recommend mounting a robust and
stable kickstand.
Make sure that the child cannot operate safety or locking systems or other blocks on
the bicycle, whilst in the seat.
Do not place bags or additional equipment on the seat.
If it were necessary to transport a bag or additional equipment, place it at the oppo-
