In this case, you can loosen the locking pin again with the help of a slotted screwdriver. To do this, first remove the plastic cap at the end of the drawbar. A slotted screwdriver will also help. The locking pin is connected to a spring plate inside the drawbar, if you place the screwdriver between this spring plate and the outer wall of the drawbar, you can push the locking pin inwards and thereby unlock the drawbar. Hold the locking pin in this position and pull the drawbar out of the drawbar bracket.

In winter, the splash protection should also be closed and only the side ventilation window should be opened. 

Always make sure to dress the children according to the season.

For longer journeys in the rain or in heavy rain, we recommend the use of the optionally available rain cover, as this offers more comprehensive rain protection.

We consider this scare tactic based on arbitrary evaluations to be wrong. On the one hand, Stiftung Warentest does not evaluate the product as a whole, but only takes individual parameters. Non-safety-relevant aspects are placed in the foreground by the assessment, although the focus should be on safety during transport. On the other hand, the evaluation is not based on legal requirements, but on scientifically unsound evaluation standards.

We would like to emphasize: All of our products have been tested several times for high stability, solid workmanship, good handling and harmless and sustainable substances and materials. They meet the legal requirements and can be used without hesitation. When purchasing our materials, we always ensure that the suppliers comply with the legal requirements, such as those stipulated by the EU chemicals regulation REACH, the relevant standards EN71, EN15918, or the GS specification. There are no references to the flame retardant TDCP in any of these catalogs of requirements. We agree with the assessment of the legislature and the specialist committees and see no risk when using the tested bicycle trailers from Qeridoo. A restriction for TDCP is only intended for children's toys, of which our products according to Appendix | Item 5 of the Toys Directive 2009/48 / EC are expressly excluded.

TDCP is also present in carpets, for example. These products are also safe to use, although longer-term contact with children is to be expected.

Nevertheless, we immediately decided not to use the material for the darkened side windows anymore. We have switched to a supplier who also offers darkened TPU films that are free from flame retardants. The absence of harmful substances has already been confirmed to us by TÜV Rheinland.

Since TDCP is only sparingly soluble in water, a piece of the window fabric would have to be swallowed in order to actually absorb the pollutant. However, since it is a particularly resistant material, it is almost impossible for a child to tear off part of it. Even for an adult, this would be a major challenge.

We basically have several suppliers for the TPU films for the side windows. After internal tests, the new supplier that was added in early 2019 turned out to be the only supplier using TDCP. Thereupon he was excluded from our circle of suppliers. Only TPU films without TDCP have been used since mid-May. Up to this point in time mainly Kidgoo models were produced. However, we cannot rule out that Sportrex models with TPU films were also produced by this supplier.

In principle, pollutants are only included in the evaluation with 5%, since the Stiftung Warentest, however, assigns a deficiency in the area of ​​pollutants due to the only suspected flame retardant TDCP, according to the Stiftung Warentest's own evaluation method, a better final rating cannot be achieved. 

The good results in the area of ​​safety, handling and driving are therefore not included in the final evaluation! It is incomprehensible to us that after this evaluation procedure a bad result in the area of ​​security does not lead to such a strong devaluation. In the area of ​​safety, we were even able to achieve the second best result in the test. Unfortunately, Stiftung Warentest only rates this elementary topic with 10%.
