Using the Topeak Child Seat is a breeze. First, attach the seat to the heavy - duty rack using the BabySeat™ attachment. You don't need any tools for this. Once attached, place your child in the seat and adjust the shoulder harness to a comfortable height for them. Make sure the footrests are adjusted so that your child's feet are away from the spinning wheels. When you're done cycling, simply remove the seat from the rack. Keep in mind that this seat complies with high - level safety standards, but always double - check the harness and attachments before each use. For maintenance, clean the seat with a mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Store the seat in a dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition. Also, check the suspension and roll bar regularly for any signs of wear and tear.
