 Pleased first time mother and novice biker September 30, 2008
My 12 month old loved the ride and seat the very time we went for a ride! He cried when I took him off. Very easy to assemble and to take off and on. I had not ridden a bike in years and was weary of the added weight but not a problem at all. Great product!
Love It! For a 2.5 year Old September 30, 2008
This is a fantastic product. Easy to attach and remove. We bought this after buying a trailer and a back fitting bike seat.
Pros
1) Better than trailer/rear seat because its actually fun! I did a 3 hour bike ride with my daughter over Bay Bridget all the way to Tiberon (long for me). When we finished she wanted more! Oh, by the way, I stuff a peanut butter sandwich in her hoodie and some wipes. She can eat her lunch without me stopping!
2) You can actually talk with your child as you ride. Great for multitasking... bonding + exercise. Also, I'm afraid my kids will beat each other up if they are in the trailer since they are so close in age.
3) Ease of use. Easy on and off. Seat can come off the "bracket" that is attached. Easy to get her in and out too. No knee banging. Also works for bikes like our mountain bikes that couldn't fit the rear seat.
4) Flexible. works for my 10 month old and my 2.5 year old. She is only 25-30 pounds and about 3 feet tall. Height wise she fits. I need to get another one so we can all go together.
5) Cool :-) EVERYONE stops us and asks where we got it. I really feel sorry for the kids in the trailers... or worse in the rear seat pressed up against Daddy's butt with a view of daddy's sweaty back.
Cons (not really)
1) If my daughter moves her head too much sometimes she knocks me in the face. I need to snuggle by one side of her face. I guess if I was taller (I'm only 5'2" my arms would be longer and I'd have more clearance). My husband at 6'0" has no problems.
2) Seatbelt not great... sometimes it rides down her shoulder. Worry about her flying off but I'd worry more if she was in the back. At least I can see her. There is a lap bar though... make sure it snaps in place.
Great child carrier! September 29, 2008
I highly recommend this to anyone with a child in the weight and age/size range. As a parent you have full observation, control of your child and can communicate what you are sharing in sights. No need to take your eyes off the road to check on your child.
 Let's Go See the Horses! September 29, 2008
I have to give high marks to this product, its almost perfect. I knew that I wanted a bike seat that sat in the front. After seeing and remembering from childhood all the seats in the rear, I knew that was a bum deal (haha puns well intended). The poor kid sits behind mom or dad and gets to stare at their rear the whole time or strain to see off to the left or right. Plus, for the parent, any conversation with the kid is pretty much non-existent.
The iBert steps in to change all that. Up front and right next to you, your child feels safe and protected. Conversation is easy for you and the view is unparalleled for your child. They can look anywhere from their fluorescent green throne. We have horses that are in a fence down the road, so I load up my son and peddle down to see them all the time.
I am 5'10" and have a standard size men's 21 speed. I had to do a slight adjustment to my handlebars to get the iBert bracket to fit my bike. I do have to slightly "butterfly" my legs to peddle but it is not at all inconvenient or uncomfortable.
My wife's bike is another story. She has a women's diamondback hybrid or something and it does not at all fit on her bike, at least, we can't mount it and then want to change gears, haha.
Pros: Kid feels safe, easy conversation, kid can see all around, easy setup, really fun
Cons: Expensive, doesn't fit all bikes, shoulder straps are a joke (but the saftey bar latches in pretty well)
Awesome product! September 24, 2008
This is by far the best child seat out there. It is safe and our 18 month old loves the view. He can wiggle a little and it does not affect the way the bike handles. I highly recommend the Ibert!
