Product Information

Green indicators on the Bobike Seat show users when the seat is correctly installed to avoid accidents and with a mounting kit included, it’s easy to fit on round and oval seat tubes with diameters between 28 and 40mm. This child bicycle seat must be assembled on bicycles with round and oval frames with diameters ranging from 28 to 40 mm. Once your child hits that one-year mark, you can feel comfortable taking them for a ride in this child bike seat, which is lined with extra padding, features a five-point safety harness, and has a padded front bumper where your little one can rest their head for naps. The padded bumper also offers extra protection in the event of an unexpected fast stop. If you own a mountain bike, you may find that a lot of child bike seats aren’t compatible with your model. This seat works well with mountain bikes but is best for tots who are a little older and have some stability since they are not strapped in. The seat can be easily attached and detached, has adjustable pedals for your child to rest their feet, and can hold up to 55 pounds. The first thing to decide before buying a child bike seat is if you want a rear, front, or mid-mount (something typically used for mountain bikes).

The universal downside to all rear child seats is how the additional weight impacts on your bike's handling, which at best can make the bike feel extremely heavy and have a high centre of gravity at the rear of your bike. If your child is older/heavier and moves around a lot then this effect is more pronounced. It's also much harder to interact with your child when they're straight behind you. Not appropriate for all frame materials, not compatible with external cabling or ebikes. Weight and forces through parts of frame not designed for the purposeThe waterproof cushioning allows for all-weather adventures, and the positioning of this Polisport Bike Seat allows your little one to still be able to fit on a helmet when in their Polisport Seat. The Siesta bicycle child seat is robust and stable, with a classic design. The seat has a recline function of 20° providing the child with a comfortable resting. Designed to hold a child up to 38 pounds, it's made of durable plastic resin, and the seat comes equipped with a 3-point safety harness made of nylon. It also has adjustable foot cups, so it can grow with your child. An extra feature we can't resist: Your little one will have fun pretending to drive with the attached toy steering wheel, which also happens to be padded for added safety. Adding a child bike seat to your bicycle opens up the world for both of you. That bit of hardware, which straps a child in front of or behind the bike rider, means the two of you can go on adventures swiftly and safely, making them ideal for kiddos who haven't yet learned how to ride a bike. The best child bike seats will match your budget, your child's age and size, and your preferred mount type (rear, front, or mid).

A front-mounted seat is often preferred by adults who want to have eyes on their little one and the road at the same time. The problem is that once they get too big, they may obstruct your view. “Front-mounted seats do not recline, as that would interfere with the space of the adult rider, but they provide the ability to see your child at all times in front of you,” Dr. Vernovsky says. “Your child’s forward view is unobstructed, and they have a better view of their surroundings. Front-mounted seats might be suitable for younger children ages 1 to 3 years on shorter rides.” Recommended?– If you already have a hybrid, town or mountain bike with a pannier fitted and you’re a competent rider not looking to ride on rough surfaces then this is a great and inexpensive option for carrying your child around. If you don’t have a bike with a pannier then you need to consider the added cost of that. If aren’t sure about your bike handling skills (especially around town) with the added weight of seat and child then this might not be the right option for you and the selection of towed child transport options is worth considering. I’m happy to recommend this seat as we’ve been using it happily for over a year and ‘inexpensive’ was the most important consideration after basic safety. 4 out of 5. Fitting the seat to the bike via the frame clamp was fairly straightforward although the instructions were a little difficult to follow. The one thing we had to pay close attention to was ensuring the seat post safety strap didn’t catch in the wheel. This would be easier with Velcro or clip rather than slide adjuster. The GO has a reassuringly solid feel with a slight wrap-around structure to offer additional protection for your child’s head, elbows and knees and the double-walled shell is designed to give additional impact protection. One downside of this simplicity there isn’t anywhere obvious to fit a light and no high-visibility colours or reflectors. This low down position does also mean that there is a lot of growing room, we were still using ours with a tall five year old, although this does eventually mean a sacrifice of rider position. When the passenger is younger with shorter legs and slimmer body it’s not too bad, but as they grow, and the foot rests extend it requires rider knees to poke out slightly. As they get taller you’ll eventually be looking round the passenger rather than over, but potentially a little later than you would with the higher seat of the Shotgun.There isn’t a lot of terrain that can’t be ridden on the Mac Ride. The scoop-like saddle and low down position allows the mini shredder to be nestled and anchored in position, allowing our passenger to learn how to absorb bumps in the road or trail, providing a feeling as close to riding a bike as is possible for your passenger.

The exact age depends on the child and their ability to sit unaided holding their head up, remember that it ideally they will also be wearing a helmet, so that can make them a little more top heavy. Noticing his growing ability to position himself and react to riding has been so rewarding. The commute to nursery is a lot more fun on this too. As with the Mac Ride, your child can get in the way of seeing and pedalling a bit but in all honesty this has added to the fun and interaction for us both. The Hamax Rain Cover is specially designed to preserve and protect your Hamax child bike seat when not in use.Maximum child age for this seat is 6 years or a weight of 22kg. However, given our 100cm tall 3 year old already has the shoulder straps on the highest setting then I suspect most kids will be too tall before they get too heavy or old. Suitable for even carbon bikes, the Mac Ride is popular with mountain bikers, and weighs less than 2kg, with little impact on the bike's balancemeaning it's the best child bicycle seat for technical terrain and hills. This child bicycle seat is only suitable for carrying children with a maximum weight of 22 Kg (and children with recommended ages ranging from 9 months to 5 years of age - with the weight as the decisive variable). The stylish and safe Dutch design of the Bobike Exclusive Tour is a must-have for parents who love to take their children outdoors. Whilst unlike a front mounted seat you can run a rear seat on a drop bar bike this change of weight and balanced is more pronounced on this type of bike than with flat bars.
