Risk Description (original English): This product does not comply with the European standard for child seats EN 14344 on the following points: - during tests the backrest of the seat deformed and broke and sharp edges became accessible;- the clamping screw is placed between child’s legs and sticks out over the seat which can cause injuries to a child;- the clamping screw has insufficient protection against loosening which can result in collapsing of a child and driver of the bicycle;- dimensions of the seat are inappropriate.
