Brilliant
This set is utterly fantastic.
My 3 year old will scream and cry his face off if we ask him if he wants to go in his back bike chair, he’s gotten a taste for his bike seat at the front so why would he ever want to go into a full blown chair at the back now??
It’s easier for us to get out of the house now, as he’s excited for mummy’s seats and elijahs seat. He talks more on the bike now. He’s slapping over hanging tree leaves. Absolutely fantastic. We will be purchasing the pro set very soon, for my husbands bike, as he’s feeling left out!
One star marked off as the seat does slide back slightly. It seems like it’s found the spot it wants to be in, but luckily this is resting against my seat so it can’t go too far back - I have a small bike for a 5ft1 woman.
And the handle bars move if enough pressure is applied, my little one likes to squeak them up and down. I have the right size frame according to the handbook but it doesn’t stop them from moving - it doesn’t move like crazy, it sits in place until my LO decides he wants it pointing down!
Again, those two points only takes one star, and that one star won’t stop us from upgrading to the pro for my husbands bike - for that growing room.
This set is amazing, had it a couple weeks now. Hugely recommend. Don’t get that Argos one for £40 for goodness sake.
