There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
When riding, it definitely takes a few minutes to get used to the different weight and center of balance, but the seat has its own suspension and kept my kiddo riding smoothly even on a bumpy road.
The only problem we had was that we were so excited to try it out, we went for a ride right away...and unfortunately spring wasn’t quite here because it started snowing halfway through! However, our more recent rides have been more pleasant (and much warmer) and we can’t wait to keep exploring by bike through the summer.
One thing to keep in mind is that I am not able to use back panniers with the seat on...might just be the way my bike is, but I have to put my front rack back on and use front panniers if I want any kind of storage/carrying capacity.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with this bike seat and highly recommend it.

I tried this seat with my 40 lb daughter as well and although she fit safely in the seat, it was too much weight on the back of the bike to be able to control it easily. Once I stopped and was off the seat the back tire of the bike started to slide out from under her almost dropping her strapped in to the bike to the ground. So although this can hold 40+ lbs beware it may not be very safe.
My only complaint comes from watching a video of my riding when there is a kid in the seat. With a child in the seat, it sways when making tight turns. I suspect this can be mitigated by getting a frame mounted seat or purchasing something additional. I had no idea the seat swayed until I saw a video and I had ridden several miles prior to seeing the video. If you have ridden with cargo in panniers, there is no difference in the ride.
My kid and I enjoyed our first ride. More to come. Thanks for a good and useful product.
