We went from a front fixed Childs seat to the kids ride shotgun seat. So much easier to get on, so much easier to see over Bugs head and he LOVES it! the joy of being on his own seat and not strapped down like a car seat was great.
We used a double bike cart, but now that one child is riding on their own, the shotgun allows me to not have to tow the bike cart for 1 child.
Used this with my 2year old and she loved it! Feet straps are robust enough to give her support and I added a bell to her handle bars so she can ring it. Would definitely recommend.
I was a bit disappointed with the fit. My bike's frame is tapered and it seems to be impossible to get the seat securely fixed in place without extra straps and bit of trickery.
Got it fitted afterall and my kid loves the ride!
This product is outstanding, my boy just begs me day and night to go out on the bike, he loves it.
Fitting is easy and the whole thing is very stable. Highly recommend this to anyone.
