Troubleshooting

Seat feels loose or unstable on the rack

Verify the rack width and tubing diameter are within the required ranges (120-175mm and 10-16mm respectively) and ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged.

Difficulty operating the safety buckle

The buckle is designed as a safety feature to require two hands; ensure you are pressing both buttons simultaneously to release the straps.

Excessive weight distribution on the rear wheel

Use the adjustable mount to shift the seat closer to the saddle, which helps centralize the child's weight and improves bike balance.
