Warnings
Read and observe this manual
This manual contains information that is extremely
important for the safe transport of your child. Therefore,
it is essential that you read the entire manual carefully
and follow the instructions closely. If you should experi-
ence difficulties understanding any of the information or
instructions, please contact your Croozer dealer. Keep
this manual handy at all times for future reference. If you
loan or sell your Croozer Kid Plus, pass on this manual to
the new user. It is also vitally important that you read and
observe the instructions provided in the manual of the tow-
ing bicycle.
Failure to read and follow the instructions in this Owner’s
Manual may result in injury or death to you, your child, or
others.
Who can ride in the Croozer Kid Plus?
When you are pulling the Croozer Kid Plus as a Trailer,
child passengers must be no less than 12 months of age
and no more than 6 years of age, with a maximum height
of 46 inches. All children must be able to sit upright unas-
sisted. Children who are not able to sit upright without
support do not have fully developed muscles and could
therefore suffer injuries when riding in the Croozer Kid Plus
Trailer. Pulling the Trailer with children who are younger
than 12 months of age or who are not able to sit upright
unassisted could result in serious injuries.
Attempting to pull the Trailer with child passengers who
are more than 6 years of age or taller than 46 inches could
drastically affect the handling of the Croozer Kid Plus,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
Children between 1 and 10 months of age can be trans-
ported in an Infant Sling (available as accessory) in the
Stroller or Jogger, but not in the Trailer. Transporting
children under 12 months of age in a bicycle trailer could
result in serious injury.Consult your pediatrician before us-
ing the Infant Sling for jogging, or any activities other than
casual walks.
Never install a car seat or other seating device not author-
ized for use with the Croozer Kid Plus. The use of unau-
thorized seating devices could compromise the safety of
the Croozer Kid Plus, resulting in accidents with serious
injury or death.
The Croozer Kid Plus for 2 can carry one or two children,
and the Croozer Kid Plus for 1, only one child. Transport-
ing more than the maximum allowable number of children
specified here could drastically affect the handling of the
Croozer Kid Plus, resulting in accidents with serious injury
or death. Never carry more than the maximum number of
children specified for your Croozer Kid Plus.
Never transport children who exceed the maximum weight
limitations (33 lbs per child). Transporting children whose
weight exceeds this limit could affect the handling and
safety of the Croozer Kid Plus, resulting in accidents with
serious injury or death.
The towing bicycle
When transporting children in the Trailer, the rider of the
towing bicycle must be an adult and fully aware of the
responsibilities associated with pulling a child Trailer with
young passengers.
In case of doubt, be sure to acquaint yourself with the ap-
plicable laws in the state or country where you plan to use
the Croozer Kid Plus.
The rear wheel of the towing bicycle must be equipped
with an effective splashguard. Otherwise, the passenger
could be injured by stones and other debris thrown up from
the road.
Motorized vehicles – including e-bikes with a maximum
speed of more than 15 mph – may not be used for pulling
child Trailers. When riding at speeds of more than 15 mph,
the rider may lose control of the Trailer, which could result
in accidents with serious injury or death.
Always obey the traffic rules and road signs. Be sure to
familiarize yourself with the legal requirements that apply
to towing bicycles in the country or state where you will be
using the Croozer Kid Plus.
The towing bicycle must have a 26” or 28” (559 or 622mm)
rear wheel. This information can be found on the tire side-
walls. The numbers 42-622, for example, indicate that the
tire has a width of 42 mm and a bead-seat diameter of 622
mm (28 inches). The use of a towing bicycle with a rear
wheel that is too large or too small changes the handling
of the Trailer, which could lead to accidents with serious
injury or death.
4
CroozerKid14-ENG-USACAN-11-13
Safety Guidelines
The towing bicycle must be equipped with strong, properly
functioning brakes. Riding with inadequate or improperly
functioning brakes could result in accidents with serious
injury or death. For installing the rear wheel of the tow-
ing bicycle, follow the instructions and warnings given in
the owner’s manual of the towing bicycle. When in doubt,
consult a professional bicycle mechanic. A rear wheel that
has been incorrectly installed could lock up and cause ac-
cidents with serious injury or death.
If the towing bicycle is not securely braced in an upright
position (e.g. with an appropriate kickstand), it could fall
over while passengers are climbing in or out of the Trailer,
which can result in serious injury of the children and/or
rider.
Croozer Kid Plus as Trailer, Jogger, or Stroller
Never use the Croozer Kid Plus if it is not in perfect
working order. The Croozer Kid Plus must be periodi-
cally inspected for damage and/or wear to the wheels,
hitch arm, frame, fabric body, security pins, quick-release
mechanisms, and safety harnesses. If any of these parts
are found to be damaged, the Croozer Kid Plus may not be
used until the damage has been properly repaired, ideally
by a professional bicycle mechanic.
Never leave a child in the Trailer, Jogger or Stroller unat-
tended, not even briefly. In your absence, hazardous,
unforeseen situations could arise, including accidents with
serious injury or death.
When riding in the Croozer Kid Plus, your child must be
strapped securely into the safety harness at all times.
Avoid serious injury from falling or sliding out. Always use
seat belt. Otherwise, in dangerous situations, the child
could slip out from under the safety harness, resulting in
serious injury or death.
Failure to adjust the straps of the safety harness properly
or to fasten the buckles correctly could result in accidents
with serious injury or death.
The shoulder straps must fit comfortably yet snugly over
the passenger’s shoulders to ensure that the passenger
is held securely in the seat. If the straps are too loose, the
safety harness may not be able to hold the child securely,
and, in the event of an accident, the child could slip out,
resulting in serious injury or death. Straps that are too tight
can cause discomfort to the passenger.
When not fitted to a child in the seat, bucked safety har-
nesses can form loops that may result in the serious injury,
strangulation or death of the child. Therefore, never leave
safety harnesses buckled when not fitted to a child.
It is critical that all maintenance work specified in the sec-
tion “Croozer Kid Plus Inspections and Maintenance” be
performed in the specified intervals. Using the Croozer Kid
Plus when it is not in perfect working order can result in
accidents with serious injury or death.
Never use the Croozer Kid Plus Trailer, Stroller or Jogger
near an open fire or exposed flame. It could catch fire,
resulting in serious injury or death.
Assembly and repair
The Croozer Kid Plus must be properly assembled to
professional standards. Improper assembly can result in
accidents with serious injury or death.
Follow the instructions for the correct installation of the
axle hitch, hitch arm, Jogger Kit components, and Stroller
wheel. When in doubt, contact your Croozer dealer.
Do not use plastic bags or packaging in cribs, beds,
carriages, or playpens. Plastic bags and packaging ma-
terials can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation,
keep plastic bags and packaging away from babies and
children. Babies and children could pull plastic bags or
packaging over their heads and suffocate.
Choking hazard! The shipping box contains small parts
that could present a choking hazard to young children.
To avoid serious injuries or death, keep small parts away
from young children.
All repairs must be carried out to professional standards
using only original Croozer Kid Plus parts, ideally by a pro-
fessional bicycle mechanic. Incorrect installation or repair
work could result in accidents with serious injury or death.
It is vitally important that the brake shoes are correctly
installed. Improperly installed brake shoes can cause the
parking brake to malfunction. The parked Croozer Kid Plus
could roll away, resulting in accidents with serious injury or
death.
After the brake shoes and wheels have been installed, be
sure to check that the parking brake functions properly. Al-
ways set the parking brake when releasing the handlebar
of a parked/stopped Jogger, Stroller, or Trailer, and check
that the wheels are securely locked by giving the Croozer
Kid Plus a gentle push and pull. If the parking brake is not
correctly engaged, the vehicle could roll into harm’s way,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
The handlebar must be secured with both security pins at all
times. Otherwise, the handlebar could fall off when you are
pushing it, and the Jogger or Stroller could roll away unin-
tentionally, resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
For safety reasons, no modifications or changes can be
made to the vehicle. Changes and modifications can
compromise the safety of the Croozer Kid Plus and lead to
accidents with serious injury or death.
After you have attached the wheels, it is vitally important
that you check whether the axles are securely locked into
the axle receivers by firmly pulling on the wheels. It should
not be possible to remove the wheels without pressing on
the dust cap. Wheels that have not been securely attached
can fall off when riding, resulting in accidents with serious
injury or death
Use as Trailer
IIt is vitally important to confirm that the towing bicycle is
suitable for pulling trailers. Pulling a trailer with a bicycle
that has not been approved by its manufacturer for use
as a towing bicycle can result in frame breakage or other
material damage. This could cause accidents with serious
injury or death. Before attaching the trailer, it is strongly
5
CroozerKid14-ENG-USACAN-11-13
Safety Guidelines
ENG
recommended that the bicycle(s) to which the trailer will
be attached undergo a safety check by a qualified bicycle
mechanic in order to assess the suitability and technical
condition.
The rider and children in the Trailer should wear a CPSC-
approved bicycle helmet at all times. In the case of an
accident, a helmet will prevent or reduce head injuries. In
some countries, the use of helmets is required by law. Rid-
ing without a helmet could result in serious injury or death
in the case of an accident.
The use of a Trailer changes the handling of the towing
bicycle. Before each ride, check that the Trailer cannot
interfere with the braking, pedaling, and steering of the
towing bicycle. Failure to do so could result in accidents
with serious injury or death.
The reflectors of the Croozer Kid Plus do not qualify as ac-
tive lighting equipment. If you ride at night or in conditions
of poor visibility without an appropriate lighting system,
other road users may not be able to see you, which could
result in accidents with serious injury or death.
Never use a Trailer without lighting at night, dusk, or dawn
– or whenever visibility is in any way reduced. Other road
users may not be able to see you, which could result in
accidents with serious injury or death.
The Croozer Kid Plus must be equipped with a CPSC-
approved red reflector on the rear, visible from behind. If
you use the Croozer Kid Plus without a rear reflector, other
road users may not be able to see you, which could result
in accidents with serious injury or death.
When the Croozer Kid Plus is being used as a Trailer, the
handlebar must remain securely attached at all times. If
the Trailer should ever tip over, the handlebar acts as a roll
bar, helping to prevent injuries. Riding without the handle-
bar increases the likelihood that the passenger compart-
ment could be damaged in the case of an accident, result-
ing in serious injury or death of the child passengers.
After hitching the Trailer to the towing bicycle, secure the
hitch connector using the safety pins. Always check that
the wire loop of the security pin is snapped securely onto
the pin end. If the security pin is not securely locked, the
hitch arm could fall off while in use, resulting in accidents
with serious injury or death.
Never pull the Croozer Kid Plus as a Trailer without the
hitch-arm safety strap securely fastened to the towing bicy-
cle. The safety strap ensures that the Trailer would remain
connected to the towing bicycle if the hitch connector were
to fall off the axle hitch. Failure to use the safety strap as
specified above could cause accidents with serious injury
or death.
It is vitally important that the axle hitch be properly in-
stalled. An improperly installed axle hitch could come loose
while riding, and the Trailer could detach from the towing
bicycle, causing accidents with serious injury or death.
It is vitally important that the rear wheel of the towing bicy-
cle be installed correctly after the axle hitch has been at-
tached to the axle. Riding with an incorrectly installed rear
wheel could result in accidents with serious injury or death.
When pulling the Croozer Kid Plus as a Trailer, the safety
flag must be properly mounted and attached to the Trailer
at all times. If you use the Trailer without the safety flag,
other road users may not be able to see you, which could
result in accidents with serious injury or death.
Never leave the Stroller wheel attached when using the
Croozer Kid Plus as a Trailer. The Stroller wheel could get
caught on obstacles as you pass, resulting in accidents
with serious injury or death.
When pulling a loaded Trailer, the handling, balance, and
performance of the towing bicycle will be affected, espe-
cially when starting, braking, turning, and riding downhill.
Take adequate time to familiarize yourself with the Croozer
Kid Plus before transporting children. Prior to your first ride
with children, we recommend taking a practice ride with
the Trailer in a calm, traffic-free area; load the Trailer with
cargo of approximately the same weight as the child or
children you will be transporting, for example, by strap-
ping a loaded backpack into the child seat. This is a great
way to acquaint yourself with the handling of the bicycle
and the dimensions of the Trailer. Riding with a child in the
Trailer before you are adequately familiar with the handling
of the towing bicycle with the Trailer could result in ac-
cidents with serious injury or death.
Cyclists should always use available bike paths or lanes,
even when pulling a Trailer. Be especially careful when
riding on narrow bike paths or lanes, as well as on paths
and trails with two-way traffic. The Trailer is generally wider
than the handlebars of the towing bicycle. In addition, most
Trailers will not be centered behind the towing bicycle. Re-
duce your speed in places where navigation is especially
challenging; and if you are ever in doubt about whether the
Trailer will be able to fit through an opening, dismount and
push the bike and Trailer through. Failure to do so may
result in accidents with serious injury or death of the child
or rider.
Reduce your speed when riding on paths or streets with
bumps or uneven surfaces to keep the ride as smooth and
safe as possible for your passengers. Reduce your speed
when turning. Otherwise the centrifugal force could cause
the Trailer to tip over. Use extreme caution and dismount
when passing through narrow spaces. Otherwise, the
Trailer could collide with obstacles, causing accidents with
serious injury or death of the child and/or rider.
Avoid hitting obstacles: hitting an obstacle with a wheel
may cause the Trailer to tip over at any speed, which could
result in serious injury or death of the child and/or rider.
Use extreme caution when riding in wet, slippery, or
otherwise hazardous conditions. Under such conditions,
you could lose control of the towing bicycle with the Trailer,
which can result in accidents with serious injury or death.

CroozerKid14-ENG-USACAN-11-13
Safety Guidelines
Use as Jogger or Stroller
It is vitally important that the Jogger wheel and wheel arms
be installed properly. Improperly installed Jogger Kit
components could come loose while the Jogger is in use,
potentially resulting in accidents with serious injury or
death. If you are not completely confident about your ability
to install the Jogger Kit correctly, please consult with, or
have the installation performed by, a professional bicycle
mechanic.
Always check that the wire loops of the security pins used
for attaching the Jogger Kit components are snapped
securely onto the pin ends. If the security pins are not
securely locked, the wheel arms could fall off while in use,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
When using the Jogger, it is vitally important that you keep
the safety wrist strap fastened securely around your wrist
at all times. Otherwise, the handlebar could slip out of your
grip and roll away, resulting in accidents with serious injury
or death.
When transporting children who are not able to sit upright
unassisted or babies under 12 months of age in the Croo-
zer Kid Plus Stroller or Jogger (not permitted in Trailer),
you must use the Infant Sling, which is available as an ac-
cessory. The seats and safety harnesses are designed for
older children. In dangerous situations, a baby could slip
out from under the safety harnesses, resulting in serious
injury or death. It is prohibited to use the Infant Sling with
the Trailer.
Never push the Stroller faster than a walking pace. If the
Stroller is pushed too fast, it could skid or even tip over,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
Never leave a child in the Stroller or Jogger unattended,
not even briefly. In your absence, hazardous, unforeseen
situations could arise including accidents with serious
injury or death.
Always set the parking brake when releasing the handle-
bar of the parked/stopped Jogger or Stroller, and check
that the wheels are securely locked by giving the Croozer
Kid Plus a gentle push and pull. If the parking brake is not
correctly engaged, the vehicle could roll into harm’s way,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
Never maneuver the Jogger over stairs or other obstacles.
The jolting motion could injure your child and/or damage
the Croozer Kid Plus. Never use the Jogger on escalators.
When pushing the Jogger over stairs and obstacles – or
using it on escalators – you could lose control of the Jog-
ger, resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
Always use the safety harness and ensure it is correctly
adjusted to fit the child snugly and comfortably. A child that
is riding in the Jogger without the safety harness properly
fastened could fall out, resulting in serious injury or death.
The Jogger is not approved for skating. Skating with the
Jogger could result in an accidents with serious injury or
death.
The Stroller is not approved for jogging and skating.
Jogging and skating with the Jogger could result in an
accidents with serious injury or death.
Never carry more than the maximum allowable weight.
Overloading the rear cargo compartment or the optional
Handlebar Console could cause the Jogger to tip back-
wards, resulting in serious injuries for your child.
Never use the handlebar for carrying loads, such as chil-
dren’s vehicles or bags (other than the Handlebar Console
available as an accessory). Loading the handlebar could
cause the Jogger to tip backwards, resulting in serious
injuries for your child.
Always set the parking brake when releasing the handle-
bar of the parked/stopped Jogger or Stroller, and check
that the wheels are securely locked by giving the Croozer
Kid Plus a gentle push and pull. If the parking brake is not
correctly engaged, the vehicle could roll into harm’s way,
resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.When
using the Jogger, it is vitally important that you keep the
safety wrist strap fastened securely around your wrist at all
times. Otherwise, you could accidently lose control of the
Jogger, causing accidents with serious injury or death.
Never maneuver the Jogger over stairs or other obstacles.
The jolting motion could injure your child and/or damage
the Croozer Kid Plus. Never use the Jogger on escalators.
When pushing the Jogger over stairs and obstacles – or
using it on escalators – you could lose control of the Jog-
ger, resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
Always use the safety harness and ensure it is correctly
adjusted to fit the child snugly and comfortably. A child that
is riding in the Jogger without the safety harness properly
fastened could fall out, resulting in serious injury or death.
Load
The maximum Ioad (passengers + cargo) is 77 lbs (35 kg)
for the Croozer Kid Plus for 1 and 100 lbs (45kg) for the
Croozer Kid Plus for 2. NEVER OVERLOAD THE Croozer
Kid Plus. Doing so can severely affect the Croozer Kid
Plus’s handling and cause accidents with serious injury or
death.
Never overload the Trailer and never ride with a hitch-arm
load that is outside the specified range of 6.6 to 17.6 lbs.
Always distribute the load evenly. Failure to do so could
compromise the handling properties and cause accidents
with serious injury or death.
Never transport cargo items together with children on the
seat or in the foot area. The cargo could shift during trans-
port and injure the Croozer Kid Plus passengers.
7
CroozerKid14-ENG-USACAN-11-13
Safety Guidelines
ENG
Cargo in the rear cargo compartment must always be well
secured to ensure that it cannot shift during transport.
Loose cargo can change the handling of the Croozer Kid
Plus, which could cause accidents with serious injury or
death. Furthermore, loose cargo items can fall against the
seatback when braking and injure the passengers.
Never use the handlebar for carrying loads, such as
children’s vehicles or bags (other than the Handlebar
Console available as an accessory). Loading the handle-
bar compromises the stability and handling of the vehicle,
which could result in accidents with serious injury or death.
A Trailer with an improperly loaded handlebar could skid
or tip backwards, resulting in accidents with serious injury
or death. Furthermore, the rear wheel of the towing bicycle
could lose traction, especially when making turns, which
could also result in accidents with serious injury or death.
Never use the handlebar for carrying loads, such as chil-
dren’s vehicles or bags (other than the Handlebar Console
available as an accessory). Loading the handlebar could
cause the Stroller or Jogger to tip backwards, resulting in
serious injuries for your child.
Never carry more than the maximum allowable weight.
Overloading the rear cargo compartment or the optional
Handlebar Console could cause the Stroller or Jogger to
tip backwards, resulting in serious injuries for your child.
Maintenance and technical condition
It is vitally important that the maintenance work described
in this section be performed at the specified intervals and
by a professional bicycle mechanic or dealer. A layperson
could overlook dangerously damaged or worn parts that,
if not replaced, could result in accidents with serious injury
or death.
Never use the Croozer Kid Plus if the fabric body is torn
or damaged. Your child may be able to reach the wheel
spokes through tears or holes in the fabric, which could
result in serious injuries. If you notice tears or holes in the
fabric, do not use the Croozer Kid Plus until all damage
has been properly repaired or the body has been replaced.
Inspect the tires periodically for adequate tread depth and
any signs of damage or excessive wear. Worn-out or dam-
aged tires can affect the handling and even burst, which
could result in accidents with serious injury or death.
The retaining balls and push-button pins of the axles must
be cleaned and lubricated on a regular basis. Otherwise,
the wheel could fall off while riding, resulting in accidents
with severe injury or death.
Cautions
RISK OF PINCHING OR CRUSHING! There are pinch
points between the seat frame and Croozer Kid Plus
frame, as well as between the locking mechanism and
frame tube, that may cause painful injuries. Use caution
to avoid these points when folding or unfolding the Trailer.
Always check that the wire loop of the security pin connect-
ing the Stroller wheel is snapped, the Stroller wheel could
fall off while in use, resulting in accidents with injuries.
Always ride with the cover closed to protect passengers
from road debris and flying insects. When riding with the
Trailer, always close the mesh cover – or both covers – to
protect passengers from insects (e.g. getting into children’s
eyes) and prevent small stones and other road debris from
flying into the passenger compartment and injuring pas-
sengers.
The plastic windows and fabric cover of the Croozer Kid
Plus offer only minimal protection against UV rays. Ex-
posure to strong sunlight may cause sunburns. Take the
same precautions as you would outdoors to protect your
child’s skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
Never allow children to step, sit, or lean on the wheel
arms, e.g. when climbing in or out of the Croozer Kid Plus.
The child could fall off the wheel arm, resulting in injury.
Never use solvents, such as mineral spirits, or other
aggressive chemicals, as these can damage the fabric,
seat, and plastic windows. Never use pressure washers.
The strong water pressure could damage the fabric and
plastic windows. Through damaged sections of the fabric
body, cover, or windows, children may be able to reach the
wheel spokes of the Croozer Kid Plus or towing bicycle,
which could result in serious injury when the Croozer Kid
Plus is in motion.
NEVER USE HARSH CHEMICAL FUNGICIDES. These
chemicals are often highly toxic and could be very dan-
gerous to your child’s health. For severe cases of mold
or mildew, the fabric body must be replaced. Contact a
Croozer dealer.
Make sure children are clear of any moving parts if you
adjust the Croozer. Otherwise they may be injured.

Notices
Use caution and slow movements when pulling back the
seat frame and swinging the right locking mechanism away
from the frame tube. If the seat frame is pulled back too
quickly or with excessive force, the locking pin of the right
locking mechanism could damage the frame tube.
Be careful when tipping the Trailer without wheels, as the
entire weight of the chassis is resting on the brake shoes,
making them especially susceptible to damage.
Be extremely cautious: when the Croozer Kid Plus is lying
on the ground with no wheels, the brake shoes are very
susceptible to damage because the vehicle’s entire weight
is resting on them.
Never leave the security pins hanging freely from their
straps. They could get caught on passing objects and be
pulled off, damaging the vehicle.
Do not let the strap of the security pin get caught between
the hitch arm and attachment bracket as this could dam-
age the strap.
Do not let the strap of the security pin get caught between
the wheel arm and attachment bracket as this could dam-
age the strap.
After removing the hitch arm, always lock the security pin
back into the holes in the bracket. Never leave the security
pins hanging freely from their straps. They could get
caught on passing objects and be pulled off, damaging the
vehicle.
After removing the Stroller wheel, be sure to lock the
security pin back into the holes in the wheel socket. Never
leave the security pin hanging freely from its strap. It could
get caught on passing objects and be pulled off, damaging
the vehicle.
After removing the wheel arms, lock the security pins back
into the holes in the brackets. Never leave the security pins
hanging freely from their straps. They could get caught on
passing objects and be pulled off, damaging the vehicle.
Never use your foot for operating the parking brake lever.
Doing so could damage the braking mechanism.
After releasing the brake, always check that the brake
shoes are no longer pressing against the tires. Never pull
the Trailer or push the Jogger or Stroller with the parking
brake engaged, as doing so could damage the brake
shoes or tires.
Never allow the child to sit, stand, or lean on the hitch arm
or wheel arms, as doing so could damage these parts.
When folding the Croozer Kid Plus, never let the plastic
side windows get pinched between the frame parts, as this
could damage the windows.
When the wheels of the Croozer Kid Plus are removed, the
brake shoes extend from the folded frame with no protec-
tion and are therefore especially susceptible to damage.
Be very cautious during transport and loading.
Never transport the Croozer Kid Plus – even when folded
– on the roof of a motor vehicle, as this could damage the
fabric cover.
Check the tire pressure before each use. The actual tire
pressure should never be higher or lower than the maxi-
mum and minimum ination pressures marked on the
tire sidewall. (See also page 44). The inner tubes have
Schrader valves, also known as car valves. You will need a
pump with the appropriate nozzle. Never use compressed
air, e.g. from a gas/petrol station, to fill your tires. The
quick flow and high pressure can overinflate the tires,
causing the tube and/or tire to burst.
To prevent mildew and mold growth, the Croozer Kid Plus
must be completely dry and clean before being put into
storage.
Never use or store the Croozer Kid Plus at temperatures
below – 4°F (–20°C). Extremely low temperatures can
cause the plastic windows to become brittle.

Description
What is the Croozer Kid Plus?
The Croozer Kid Plus is a vehicle for transporting children.
It consists of a Chassis that can be quickly and easily
converted to a Trailer, a swivel-wheel Stroller, or a xed-
wheel Jogger. No longer will you need a eet of vehicles
because, with the Croozer Kid Plus, you can take your
child on a bike ride, a walk in the park or a trek through
the countryside. It can even be used as a xed-wheel
sport Jogger for walking or jogging. For extra comfort, the
Croozer Kid Plus is equipped with a Sylomer® suspension
system. This system requires no adjustments for various
loads. This means that it is just as effective for a single in-
fant as it is for two older children. The suspension system
is maintenance-free and works equally well in cold or warm
weather.
How should the Croozer Kid Plus be used?
The Croozer Kid Plus is intended for private use for carry-
ing children in daylight hours on roads and other smooth,
well-surfaced paths as a bicycle Trailer, a swivel-wheel
Stroller, or a xed-wheel Jogger. The instructions and
safety guidelines provided in this manual must be fol-
lowed at all times. Only children who are able to sit upright
unassisted and are within the specied age range should
ride in the Croozer Kid Plus. Children who are unable to sit
upright unassisted must use the Croozer Infant Sling. Be
sure to secure all cargo and take-along items in the desig-
nated pockets and compartments and observe the weight
limits specied in the table below. It is vitally important that
all cargo be secured to prevent it from shifting while the
Croozer Kid Plus is in use. It is the user’s responsibility to
ensure that the transported cargo does not compromise
the safety of the passengers.

* Weight limits only apply if the hitch-arm load is within the speci-
ed range of 6.6 to 17.6 lbs (3-8 kg). See page 33.
** Not for use with children under 12 months old or
children who cannot sit upright unassisted! Transporting
children under 12 months of age in a bicycle trailer could
result in serious injury.
When in use as a Trailer in poor visibility conditions or
at night, dusk, or dawn, the Croozer Kid Plus must be
equipped with a lighting system that complies with the
applicable laws and regulations in the country of use.
Any spare parts used for the Croozer Kid Plus must be
approved by Zwei plus zwei GmbH and properly installed,
ideally by a professional bicycle mechanic. Use only ac-
cessories that are suited for the Croozer Kid Plus and/or
have been approved by Zwei plus zwei GmbH.
How shouldn’t the Croozer Kid Plus be
used?
The Croozer Kid Plus may not be used in any manner
other than as specied above. Never transport animals
together with children in the Croozer Kid Plus. Never use
the Croozer Kid Plus as a cargo trailer. Never use the Jog-
ger or Stroller for skating. Never use the Stroller for jog-
ging. Commercial use, overloading, excessive speeds (of
more than 15 mph, or 25 km/h, when in use as Trailer or
more than walking speed when used as Jogger), improper
repairs, and use on unsurfaced roads or paths are not
permitted. Never install a car seat or other seating device
not approved by Zwei plus zwei GmbH. Never use the
handlebar for carrying loads, such as children’s vehicles
or bags (other than the Handlebar Console available as an
accessory).
Never pull the Croozer Kid Plus with a motorized vehicle,
such as a moped or scooter. This also applies to motorized
bicycles with a maximum speed of more than 15 mph (25
km/h). Do not mount the axle hitch to a bicycle with a rear-
wheel hub motor, unless this modication (the replacement
of the original axle nut) is approved by the manufacturer of
the bicycle and/or motor. Zwei plus zwei GmbH will not be
liable for any damages resulting from non-compliance with
these requirements.
Orientation and wording
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms right and left in this
manual refer to the passenger’s right or left when seated
in the Croozer Kid Plus, facing forward (i.e. relative to the
direction of travel).
For simplicity, this manual generally refers to the child or
passenger in singular form. It is understood, however, that
the Croozer Kid Plus for 2 will be carrying up to two chil-
dren and the Croozer Kid Plus for 1, one child.
For the sake of clarity, the Croozer Kid Plus for 2 is shown
in most of the photos and graphics used in this manual.
However, all descriptions and instructions also apply to the
Croozer Kid Plus for 1 and, in this case, refer to a single
seat.

Initial Assembly and Unfolding the
Croozer Kid Plus
If you have purchased the Croozer Kid Plus from a shop,
the retailer should install the front bumper, re ectors and
sell the vehicle “ready to use.” If you ordered your Croozer
Kid Plus from an online or mail-order catalogue, we recom-
mend having the initial assembly performed by a profes-
sional bicycle mechanic. Dealers are required to provide
the customer with all important information on the use of
the Croozer Kid Plus. If the initial assembly has been per-
formed, you can skip the  rst few steps of this section.
If your Croozer Kid Plus was not assembled prior to sale,
then have the initial assembly performed by a professional
bicycle mechanic or follow the assembly instructions be-
low. If, for any reason, you do not feel completely con dent
about your ability to properly install these components,
then have this work performed by a professional bicycle
mechanic. Various tools are required for the assembly. An
Allen key is included with the Croozer Kid Plus parts and
hardware.
The Croozer Kid Plus must be properly assembled to
professional standards. Improper assembly can result in
accidents with serious injury or death.
Checking package contents
The Croozer Kid Plus is packaged in a box for shipment.
In order to minimize package size, the Croozer Kid Plus is
shipped in its folded state. All of the removable parts are
removed for shipment. The front bumper, brake shoes, and
front re ectors are also shipped unattached.
1. Remove all packaging materials from the Croozer Kid
Plus and individual parts. Recycle all packaging mate-
rial if possible. Keep the box for storage or transport.
Do not use plastic bags or packaging in cribs, beds,
carriages, or playpens. Plastic bags and packaging ma-
terials can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation,
keep plastic bags and packaging away from babies and
children. Babies and children could pull plastic bags or
packaging over their heads and suffocate.
2. Using a knife or a pair of scissors, cut the two cable
ties with which the frame of the Croozer Kid Plus is
secured.
3. Remove all individual parts from inside the Croozer
Kid Plus.
These parts include the front bumper (1), handlebar (2),
wrist strap (3), hitch arm with hitch (4), wheels (5), Jog-
ger wheel (6), Stroller wheel (7), wheel arms for Jogger
wheel (8), this Owner’s Manual (9), and a package (10)
containing the front re ectors, mounting hardware, and an
additional hitch. Unfold the Croozer Kid Plus before mount-
ing these parts.
Choking hazard! The shipping box contains small parts
that could present a choking hazard to young children.
To avoid serious injuries or death, keep small parts away
from young children.

Initial Assembly and Unfolding the Croozer Kid Plus
Unfolding the Croozer Kid Plus
1 Unbuckle the transport safety strap (1) at the rear of
the Croozer Kid Plus.
2 Tuck the strap (2) into the special strap-storage pocket
under the cover.
3 Brace the lower part of the Croozer Kid Plus frame
with one hand while using your other hand to lift the
top part of the frame.
4 Holding the upper frame tube in the raised position,
pull the seat frame slowly and carefully back and
towards you. At the same time, keep the right locking
mechanism from getting trapped between the tubes of
the seat frame and Croozer Kid Plus frame by swing-
ing it inwards.
RISK OF PINCHING OR CRUSHING! There are pinch
points between the seat frame and Croozer Kid Plus
frame, as well as between the locking mechanism and
frame tube, that may cause painful injuries. Use caution
to avoid these points when folding or unfolding the Trailer.
Use caution and slow movements when pulling back the
seat frame and swinging the right locking mechanism
away from the frame tube. If the seat frame is pulled back
too quickly or with excessive force, the locking pin of the
right locking mechanism could damage the frame tube.
Tip: A new Croozer Kid Plus will be slightly more difficult
to unfold because the canvas is still stiff.
5. Once you have pulled back the seat as far as it will go,
close the left locking mechanism (3) by pushing it out-
wards and snapping it onto the frame tube (4). Check
that the red catch (5) has moved into place, complete-
ly covering the frame tube in the locking mechanism.
Only then is the locking mechanism safely engaged.
6. After the left locking mechanism is engaged, close
the right locking mechanism (6) by pulling the red
slide button (7) towards you and pushing the lock-
ing mechanism onto the frame tube (8). The locking
mechanism is safely engaged when the red catch (9)
is completely covering the frame tube, and the locking
pin (10) is inside the hole in the frame tube.

If the locking mechanisms are not properly engaged, the
frame of the Croozer Kid Plus could collapse while riding,
potentially resulting in serious injuries for the passenger.
Installing the bumper and refl ectors
The Croozer Kid Plus must be properly assembled to
professional standards. Improper assembly can result in
accidents with serious injury or death.
Because packaging size is limited, the bumper, brake
shoes, and front re ectors of the Croozer Kid Plus are
shipped unattached. These parts are included in the scope
of delivery and must be properly installed.
Box contents
The box with your Croozer Kid Plus should contain the
following items:
bumper (1)
package 1: containing two short 1⁄4” Allen bolts with
washers and locknuts (2), two long 1⁄4” Allen bolts with
rubber washers (3), two front re ectors (5) with bolts
(4), and two axle hitches (7), which will be mounted to
the towing bicycle
For the installation of the re ectors, bumper, and brake
shoes, the following tools are required: a 7/16” (11mm)
open-end wrench, a Phillips screwdriver and a 5/32”
(4mm) Allen key.
Mounting the front refl ectors
When riding at night, dusk, or dawn – or when visibility is
in any way reduced – both the Croozer Kid Plus and the
towing bicycle must be equipped with active lighting sys-
tems (i.e. equipment that makes its own light.) The front
reflectors of the Croozer Kid Plus do not qualify as active
lighting equipment. If you ride at night or in conditions
of poor visibility without an appropriate lighting system,
other road users may not be able to see you, which could
result in accidents with serious injury or death.
1. Hold the re ector (5) against the mounting plate on the
front bumper, positioning it so that the pin (9) on the
back of the re ector  ts through the lower hole of the
mounting plate.
2. Insert the bolt (4) through the upper hole of the mount-
ing plate, and fasten the re ector (5) by tightening the
bolt with a Phillips screwdriver (8).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to fasten the second front re ec-
tor to the other mounting plate on the bumper.

Now that the front bumper and re ectors are installed, and
the Croozer Kid Plus is unfolded with the locking mecha-
nisms safely engaged, the wheels and handlebar with
safety wrist strap can be mounted to complete the Chas-
sis. Then, with the enclosed conversion kits, the Croozer
Kid Plus can be easily converted to a bicycle Trailer, a
swivel-wheel Stroller, or a  xed-wheel Jogger.
Attaching and removing the wheels
The wheels of the Croozer Kid Plus are equipped with
push-button axles. By pressing the dust cap (1) on the
wheel hub, the retaining balls (2) will retract within the
axle to permit the attachment or removal of the wheel. The
wheels cannot be attached or removed unless the dust cap
is pressed in.
1. Check that the brake lever (3) is in the disengaged
position. If not, pull the lever forward to disengage the
mechanism.
2. Use one hand to lift up the back of the Croozer Kid
Plus.
3. Press the dust cap (1) of the wheel hub with the mark-
ing “PUSH”.
4. Insert the wheel axle (4) into the axle receiver (5) in
the suspension swing arm of the Croozer Kid Plus,
and release the dust cap.
5. Check whether the wheel is locked securely in the axle
receiver by pulling  rmly on the wheel. It should not be
possible to remove the wheel without pressing on the
dust cap.
6. Repeat steps 2-5 to attach the second wheel.
Wheels that have not been securely attached can fall
off when riding, resulting in accidents with serious injury
or death. After you have attached the wheels, it is vitally
important that you check whether the axles are securely
locked into the axle receivers by firmly pulling on the
wheels. It should not be possible to remove the wheels
without pressing on the dust cap.
7. Check the function of the parking brake by pushing the
lever (3) back.
8. To remove the wheels, follow these instructions in
the reverse order. Press the dust cap (1) and pull the
wheel off.

CroozerKid14-ENG-USACAN-11-13
Initial Assembly and Unfolding the Croozer Kid Plus
Attaching and removing the handlebar with
safety wrist strap
The handlebar has two functions. Firstly, it is used for
pushing the Croozer Kid Plus as a swivel-wheel Stroller or
xed-wheel Jogger. For this purpose, the handlebar can be
mounted in either a high (2) or a low (3) position, depend-
ing on the height and preferences of the user. Secondly,
the handlebar functions as a roll bar, protecting the pas-
sengers should the Croozer Kid Plus tip over in the rare
event of an accident.
1. If you are installing the handlebar for the rst time, be-
gin by removing the transport inserts (1) from the up-
per frame tubes. It’s a good idea to store these inserts
for future use when transporting the Croozer Kid Plus.
2. Decide whether you would prefer to use the handlebar
in the high (2) or low (3) position.
3. Slide the smaller loop of the safety wrist strap (4) over
the handlebar, and insert both ends of the handlebar
simultaneously into the upper frame tubes. Take care
to align the tubes properly to keep them from jamming
or getting stuck.
Tip: The ends of the new handlebar may stick somewhat
when inserting them into the frame tube for the first
time. If so, a light coating of silicon spay can help.
4. Push the rear ap of the cover slightly forward to
locate the hole in the upper frame tube.
5. Insert the security pin (5) through the hole.
6. Snap the wire loop (6) of the security pin over the pin end
protruding from the other side of the frame tube to lock it
in place. See Fig. 24 and 25 and diagram on right.
7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the other side of the handlebar.
Then pull gently on the security pins to ensure that the
wire loops are locked securely onto the ends of the pins.
The handlebar must be secured with both security pins
at all times. Otherwise, the handlebar could fall off when
you are pushing it, and the Jogger or Stroller could roll
away unintentionally, resulting in accidents with serious
injury or death.
When the Croozer Kid Plus is being used as a Trailer, the
handlebar must remain securely attached at all times. If
the Trailer should ever tip over, the handlebar acts as a
roll bar, helping to prevent injuries.
Tip: When not in use, the safety wrist strap can hang
inside the rear compartment area.
8. To remove the handlebar, e.g. for storage or transport,
follow these instructions in the reverse order.

Converting the Croozer Kid Plus to a Trailer
ENG
Converting the Croozer Kid Plus
to a Trailer
Not for use with children under 12 months old! Transport-
ing children under 12 months of age in a bicycle trailer
could result in serious injury.
If the Stroller wheel or Jogger wheel and wheel arms are
mounted to the Croozer Kid Plus, remove the respective
components and lock the security pins into the appropriate
holes.
Make sure children are clear of any moving parts if you
adjust the Croozer. Otherwise they may be injured.
Never leave the security pins hanging freely from their
straps. They could get caught on passing objects and be
pulled off, damaging the vehicle.
Installing and removing the hitch arm
The hitch arm is installed on the left side of the Croozer
Kid Plus (relative to the direction of travel).
Tip: The first time you install the hitch arm, we recom-
mend tipping the Croozer Kid Plus onto its back
end in order to have a better view of the parts when
familiarizing yourself with the procedure. Make sure
that your working surface is clean and flat to avoid
soiling and/or damaging the fabric body. Later, once
you are familiar with the installation and removal
procedures, you can install the hitch arm with the
front of the Croozer Kid Plus slightly raised.
1. Lift the front of the Croozer Kid Plus, or tip the frame onto
its back end.
2. Open the wire loop of the security pin (1) in the hitch-
arm attachment bracket, and pull the security pin out
of the hole.
3. Hold the hitch arm (2) with the hole (4) facing upwards
and the hitch arm at an approx. 45° angle to the at-
tachment bracket (3).
4. Guide the retaining bolts (5) at the end of the hitch arm
gently into the slots of the hitch-arm attachment bracket.
5. Then fold the hitch arm upwards into the hitch-arm at-
tachment bracket until the bolts (5) of the hitch arm are
fully engaged in the slots of the attachment bracket.
Do not let the strap of the security pin get caught be-
tween the hitch arm and attachment bracket as this could
damage the strap.
6. Insert the security pin (1) through both holes of the
hitch-arm attachment bracket.
7. Lock the security pin in place by snapping the wire
loop over the pin end (see Fig. 30). Then pull gently on
the security pin to ensure that the wire loop is locked
securely onto the end of the pin.

Converting the Croozer Kid Plus to a Trailer
Always check that the wire loop of the security pin is
snapped securely onto the pin end. If the security pin is
not securely locked, the hitch arm could fall off while in
use, resulting in accidents with serious injury or death.
8. To remove the hitch arm, follow these steps in the
reverse order.
After removing the hitch arm, always lock the security
pin back into the holes in the bracket. Never leave the
security pins hanging freely from their straps. They could
get caught on passing objects and be pulled off, damag-
ing the vehicle.
Installing the hitch to the towing bicycle
The hitch assembly is mounted to the left side of the bicy-
cle (relative to the direction of travel) and consists of two
parts: a hitch connector (1) on the hitch arm of the Croozer
Kid Plus and a hitch (2), which is mounted to the rear axle
of the towing bicycle.
However, before using a bicycle for pulling the Croozer Kid
Plus, you must rst check whether it is suitable for use as
a towing bicycle. This information can be obtained from
the bicycle manufacturer, a bicycle shop, or the owner’s
manual of the bicycle.
It is vitally important to confirm that the towing bicycle is
suitable for pulling trailers. Pulling a trailer with a bicy-
cle that has not been approved by its manufacturer for
use as a towing bicycle can result in frame breakage or
other material damage. This could cause accidents with
serious injury or death. Before attaching the trailer, it is
strongly recommended that the bicycle(s) to which the
trailer will be attached undergo a safety check by a quali-
fied bicycle mechanic in order to assess the suitability
and technical condition.
If you are not completely condent about your ability to
install the hitch correctly, please consult with, or have the
installation performed by, a professional bicycle mechanic.
It is vitally important that the hitch be properly installed.
An improperly installed hitch could come loose while rid-
ing and cause accidents with serious injury or death.
Installing the hitch to a bicycle with a quickrelease axle
The quick-release lever (1) must be positioned on the right
side of the bicycle (relative to the direction of travel). If the
lever is on the left side, the quick-release assembly must
be removed and reinserted from the right side. Be sure to
follow the applicable instructions in the owner’s manual of
the bicycle and/or consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
1. Disengage the quick-release lever (1) on the rear
wheel of the towing bicycle or loosen the hex bolt
(5 mm), depending on the version. Often, the open
position is indicated on the lever by the word “OPEN”.
In this case, when the word “OPEN” can be seen, the
lever is in the open position.
