Using this child bike seat is easy. First, connect the frame mount to your bike's round or oval tubing quickly and securely. Then, place your child in the seat and adjust the 5 - point harness to fit snugly. You can recline the seat to one of the three positions (0º, 10º, 20º) according to your child's comfort and the length of the ride. Also, adjust the seat forward or backward to get the right spacing. When it comes to cleaning, simply remove the seat and harness padding and wash them. Make sure the seat is dry before putting it back on. Remember, this seat is for children up to 40 lbs. Check the connections regularly to ensure they're tight and safe.
