WeeRide Classic Safe Front Mounted Children's Bike Seat Ages 1-4 in Grey

Product Information

Front-mounted seats are smaller than rear-mounted seats because they have to fit between the adult rider and the bike’s handlebars.Almost all front-mounted seats are designed for babies and toddlers about 1 to 3 years old. Rear-mounted seats can be bigger because there’s more room in the rear of a bike, so they typically fit kids longer, up to 4 or 5 years old. Footrests are great for keeping your child’s feet away from the moving parts of a bike. Here are some things to consider: is there any chance of entrapment? Are the feet secured in place to ensure no opportunity to go near the bike’s wheels. So, with such clear disadvantages why do we still see so many being used? It Is because they have been around the longest. Plus there were so many misunderstandings about front and centre seats and how safe they were, that meant the old fashioned seats maintained a large percentage of the market up until recently. Although WeeRide don’t make rear mounted seats there are some great rear mounted models made by the likes of Polisport and Bellelli. Is it sold by a major brand ? This should give you peace of mind and know that safety would be their priority – WeeRide, Polisport, Belelli, Hamax, Raleigh are all major companies that would not take a chance with your child’s safety. SAFETY FEATURES TO LOOK FOR IN THE BEST KIDS BIKE SEAT

More like giant foot cups, the footrests were big enough for our tester to keep his foot in while barefoot, wearing his favorite rain boots, and in regular sneakers.To be fair, rider space is a very common issue with front-mounted seats.However, it’s a bit more exaggerated with the Weeride Kangaroo. Fits most bikes including oversized head tubes and full suspension of 16”+ (except drop handle bars). Comes with its own bar so fits to Ladies and Mens bikes. New adaptor available for zero headset bikes. Best mountain bike baby seat.

We have tried rear-mounted child seats in the past and after testing the WeeRide Kangaroo, we discovered that we much prefer a front-mounted seat option. From a parent’s perspective, this setup makes it easier to balance the bike, and our little loved one is much more accessible for cuddles and on-bike interaction. This is fine for short rides around the neighborhood, but if you want to go more than a few miles, I would suggest a smaller seat, a rear child bike seat, or even a bike trailer where your pedaling motion and steering ability are not limited by a large seat taking up space.
