My 2 year old and I love it.
Both myself and my 2 year old love it. As a shorter rider I find the reach round other front mounted seats a bit too far but this seat is perfect as it’s mounted on the top tube. Look great when you open the box, the stickers for the kids is a nice touch 👍 it’s easy to fit and hasn’t left any marks on my carbon frame. Really happy.

Love it!
My daughter (3) and my son (almost 2) absolutely love this seat! They tend to fight over who gets a turn first! This allows me to take all 3 of my children on my bike (two in a trailer behind and one up front with me). We have also done some mild mountain biking which is fun. It didn't take long to get used to biking with my kids up front, and it feels really balanced and just like a normal bike ride!
