Operating Instructions

Converting Between Kid and Cargo Mode:

The carrier's versatile design allows for easy conversion:

• Kid Mode: Keep the side panels zipped up to create a secure enclosure for a child. Ensure the padded foam seat is in place and foot pegs are extended for the child's comfort and stability.
• Cargo Mode: Unzip and fold down the side panels to expand the carrier's capacity for hauling cargo. This provides approximately 1.3 cubic feet of storage.

Child Safety and Comfort:

• Seating: Ensure the child is seated comfortably on the padded foam seat.
• Foot Protection: The integrated side panels are designed to protect the child's feet from the bicycle's wheel spokes. Ensure the child's feet are positioned within these protected areas.
• Foot Pegs: Guide the child to place their feet on the foot pegs for stability during the ride.
• Compatibility with Thule Yepp Maxi Seat: This carrier can be used in conjunction with a Thule Yepp Maxi Seat for children aged 9 months to 6 years. Follow the installation and safety guidelines for both products when using them together.

Storage:

Utilize the integrated zipper pouch for storing small items such as keys, wallets, or snacks.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safe operation of your Kid & Cargo Carrier.

• Fabric Care: The carrier features DuraClean 2.0 fabric, which is designed to be extremely durable and easy to clean. For general cleaning, wipe down the fabric with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow to air dry completely before storage or next use.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically inspect the metal frame for any signs of damage, bends, or cracks.
• Fastener Check: Regularly check all bolts, screws, and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Re-tighten as necessary to maintain a secure attachment to your bicycle.
• Storage: When not in use, store the carrier in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent material degradation.

• Carrier feels loose or wobbly: Check all mounting hardware. Ensure the carrier is properly seated on the bicycle's rear rack and all fasteners are securely tightened.
• Difficulty zipping/unzipping sides: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth if necessary.
