Please Read Carefully
This product is intended exclusively for transporting dogs and should not be used to carry children or any items other than a dog.
Please carefully review the instructions before placing your pet in this seat. Ignoring these guidelines may lead to severe injury. By attaching the Pooch My Ride Dog Carrier to your bicycle, you confirm that you have read and understood all warnings and instructions.
Be aware that transporting a pet on a bicycle carries certain risks, similar to those you face while riding. Pooch My Ride/Brit Innovations Group is not liable for any injuries that may occur. Only experienced adult cyclists who are fully confident in their riding skills should use this seat to transport a pet. The Pooch My Ride Dog Carrier is designed solely for leisurely riding; engaging in extreme cycling with your pet increases the likelihood of injury.
Before every ride, ensure that all screws and bolts are tightened and securely in place.
DO NOT INSTALL ON A CARBON FIBER SEAT POST – If your bike has a carbon fiber seat post, replace it with one made of aluminum or steel.
Harness
Just like a seat belt on a child car seat, the Pooch My Ride safety harness is specifically designed to limit unnecessary movement, ensuring your pet stays securely in place for a safe and enjoyable ride. It’s essential to use this harness at all times.
Pre-Ride Check
Before every use, make sure the seat is firmly attached to the bicycle and that no parts are cracked, loose, missing, or broken.
Ride with Caution
Given the added size and weight when transporting a pet on a bicycle, it’s crucial to exercise extreme caution at all times. The rider may need to make quick adjustments if the pet shifts its weight unexpectedly.
Placing Your Dog
Take care when placing your pet into the seat and when removing them. This should be done in a safe area, away from potential distractions like other pets or traffic.
Take it Slow
Start with brief rides on smooth surfaces in a safe, distraction-free environment. Only increase the ride’s duration once both you and your pet are comfortable and confident. Avoid extended rides during extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold, and always bring water along for your pet.
Never Leave Your Dog Unattended
Never leave your pet unattended in this seat. Due to the higher center of gravity, a bicycle could tip over if left on its stand or without proper support.
Ride Safely
Finally, ensure that your pet does not become a distraction while riding. Keep your attention on the safe operation of your bicycle, obeying road rules, and staying aware of your surroundings, including other cyclists, pedestrians, and traffic.
