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
