 Genious September 1, 2008
I have a good sized 2 year old who fits well in this seat. I love having him right between my arms able to see everything while we ride. It feels much safer than pulling him behind me. I am 6'1" and this seat does not restrict my knees in a significant way. I would suggest that you be on the bike while loading and unloading as the whole bike would easily topple over with the child in the seat even with a kick stand.
 Great for fun rides.. September 1, 2008
My one year old LOVES to ride in this seat. It's great to have her in front where I can see her and she can see ahead. It's fun for easy rides with my six year old around the neighborhood. The only issue I have with the seat is it is not great for hills or times when you should lean forward / or stand to get momentum on your bike... but oh well.
A great idea to get yourselves outdoors. BABY LOVES IT! August 30, 2008
I got this for my baby's first birthday. He fits in it great. I got him a helmet to go with and off we went bike riding together! It's great to put my bike back to use. It was quite easy to attach. My son totally digs it and I love that he is in front of me where I can see him (though, with the helmet you can't really see his face). But he was singing along as we biked, so I know he was loving getting outdoors and exploring the neighborhood and local parks. We rode to the beach last weekend. He was falling asleep on the way back, and with nowhere to rest his head I has to hold his head with one hand - a bit tricky (and quite funny for the cars passing by).
The only thing I think that could be improved on is the safety strap position. It seems to slide off his shoulders at times, making it not as safe as it should be. My husband is soon going to modify it because he is pretty hand like that. Hopefully we won't crash in the meantime.
I expect that this was a very wise purchase in that we will use it quite often. I highly recommend. Get off your tush and get out there and go bike riding!
Better than a bike trailer August 30, 2008
My kid definitely prefers this to bike trailer -- she's right up close with me so that we can have conversations together, she can feel like she's right up there "driving," and she can see everything! Probably the only thing she can't do anymore is eat or play with a toy, since she's not allowed to hold anything that might fall in the front wheel (but then again, she never asks to do either of these things anymore, since she's usually so taken with the passing scene).
Mounting the thing is fairly easy, although my husband and I both have folding bikes (a Dahon and a Brompton) and it took a little toying to figure where on the stem the thing would actually fit. We finally figured out that it's actually easier to leave the seat mounted on the "tongue," then toy around with where the tongue actually works on the stem. We move the seat between our bikes -- usually takes <5 minutes to get it on or off.
Biggest difficulty is with starting and stopping -- It's just different with something between you and the front handlebars. Also, it's basically impossible to stand up on your pedals to climb a big hill, so you either have to have great gears, great quads, or flat terrain.
This thing has been great! I've been wanting to take our kid around with the bike for some time, but she always resisted getting in the trailer -- with this seat, she's almost always eager to get on the bike.
 $85 for the idea!!! August 29, 2008

Just got mine today. Will see how my 7 month old takes it.
I was surprised to find so little in the box for $85!! When I resell it I won't even ger $10 for it. I guess most of the cost is for being the first to the market.
The plastic is ok quality - no cousion seat. The back doesn't have higher support. Comparared to othe good quality seats this seat should not have been more than $30. What a rip-off.
Only reason I had to buy this product was so that I could take my older kid in the back with the single wheel attachment and the 7 month in front.
