Using your Croozer Kid
Tips for the towing bicycle
We recommend using a towing bicycle with multiple
gears. The more speeds the bicycle has, the easier it
will be to  nd the appropriate gear, for example, when
starting, climbing hills and riding with a headwind.
The towing bicycle must have two strong, in-
dependently operated brakes that are not only in
perfect working order but also work effectively in wet
weather conditions. This is vitally important, as the
brakes must be able to stop the bike with the additional
weight of the trailer.
The towing bicycle must have a sturdy, rear-mount
kickstand able to hold the bicycle  rmly upright to guar-
antee safety and comfort when loading and unloading
children. Single-legged kickstands mounted in the
middle of the bicycle, under the bottom bracket, are
NOT suitable because the weight of the hitched bicycle
trailer, which rests on the chainstay, would make the
parked bicycle unstable. Consult a bicycle shop for
choosing the right kickstand.
We recommend riding with a rear-view mirror on the
towing bicycle. A rear-view mirror makes it easier to
check on passengers in the trailer and keep an eye on
the vehicles behind you so that you can react appropri-
ately. Always ride defensively.
The towing bicycle should have a long rear fender
with a mud ap in order to protect the passenger from
stones and other road debris that could be thrown up
by the rear tyre and to avoid soiling the body or interior
of the trailer.
Guidelines and tips for riding with a trailer and children
When pulling a loaded trailer, the handling, balance
and performance of the towing bicycle will be affected,
especially when starting, braking, turning and riding
downhill. Take adequate time to familiarise yourself
with the Croozer Kid before transporting children. Prior
to your  rst ride with children, we recommend taking a
practice ride with the trailer in a calm, traf c-free area;
load the trailer with cargo of approximately the same
weight as the child or children you will be transporting,
for example, by strapping a loaded backpack/rucksack
into the child seat. This is a great way to acquaint your-
self with the handling of the bicycle and the dimensions
of the trailer.
The safety  ag on the long, vertical pole will make you
more visible to other road-users. Never ride without the
safety  ag properly mounted.
Always ride with the cover closed to protect passen-
gers from road debris and  ying insects.
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 traf c. The trailer is
generally wider than the handlebars of the towing bicy-
cle. In addition, most trailers will not be centred behind
the towing bicycle. Reduce your speed in places where
navigation is especially challenging; and if you are
ever in doubt about whether the trailer will be able to  t
through an opening, dismount and push the bike and
trailer through.
