When fitting the bike seat, it's like anything else: read the instructions. Follow the instructions carefully. For example, when mounting Bobike Bicycle seat for baby, you need to be sure that the centre of gravity is correct. You can read in the user manual how to check this.
Once the bike seat is fitted, you should of course check that it is secure before placing your baby in it. You do this by grabbing the seat and pulling to see if it moves. The chair should not move.
Even after installing the bike seat, you should check regularly whether the bike seat is still properly installed. You should also check whether the footrests need to be lowered as your baby or child grows.
