Introduction
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and proper installation, operation, and maintenance of your CoPilot LIMO Child Carrier with EX-1 Disc Rack. Please read all instructions carefully before use and retain this manual for future reference.
The CoPilot LIMO Child Carrier is designed to offer a secure and convenient way to transport children on bicycles. It features a bright color for high visibility, a rear light mount, and a reflector for enhanced safety. The carrier includes a padded overhead pull-down grab bar that functions as a hand rest or can be positioned behind the seat for a freestanding child seat. It is compatible with Blackburn flashers and CPSC reflectors, and comes with a Blackburn EX-1 tubular aluminum rack. An additional security strap limits rearward seat movement. This carrier is best used with performance bikes equipped with disc brakes.
Setup and Installation
The CoPilot LIMO Child Carrier attaches to your bicycle using the robust Blackburn aluminum EX-1 rack. Ensure the rack is securely mounted to your bicycle according to its own instructions before installing the child carrier.
The carrier is installed onto the rack using a unique slide rail clip system. For additional safety, a seat post leash and rubber stop provide full-safe security, preventing unintended detachment.
The child seat can be easily removed for storage or to be swapped onto a different bicycle equipped with a compatible rack.

- Inspection: Periodically inspect all straps, buckles, and mounting hardware for wear, damage, or looseness. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Storage: When not in use, store the carrier in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your CoPilot LIMO Child Carrier, refer to the following common solutions:
- Carrier feels unstable: Ensure the EX-1 rack is correctly installed and all mounting bolts are tightened. Verify the child carrier's slide rail clip system is fully engaged and the seat post leash is securely fastened.
- Harness is difficult to adjust: Check for any twists or obstructions in the harness straps. Ensure the buckles are clean and free of debris.
- Footwells not adjusting: Confirm that the adjustment knobs are fully loosened before attempting to slide the footwells. Tighten securely after adjustment.
