iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle Seat
The iBert safe-T-seat was designed with quality and safety first. The safe-T-seat places the child up front, safely between the parent's protective arms. This evenly distributes weight over the bike giving a stable, safe ride. Kids enjoy the close interaction and the unobstructed view of the fun ahead. Mounted conveniently on the handlebar stem; the high, forward position allows you to pedal in comfort without banging your knees on the seat.Created by parents who were disappointed with the family bicycling options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was made to offer families the best biking experience possible in safety and comfort. This front mounted seat offers both parent and child excellent range of vision, with the opportunity to interact as they bike together. Noted for its ease of use, the seat takes just a few minutes to install and remove, and it is equally easy and safe to load and unload the child from the seat. Providing plenty of clearance for the knees so that the adult can bike with ease, the seat is positioned so that it is easy to maintain the center of gravity. This adaptable seat fits any adult bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches of clearance on the handlebar stem.

The iBert Safe-T seat was developed after its creators became frustrated with the available bike seat options for children. They found that bike trailers kept their kids uncomfortably far away from them, got too hot in the sun, and only provided a limited view out to the children. The rear-mounted seats presented similar problems. The kids had a limited view and it was difficult to interact with them. Additionally, the balance of the bike was off and it was not easy to load and unload the kids. Other front mounted seats were complicated to hook onto the bike and difficult to remove. These seats also did not allow knee clearance for biking, and as a result were not comfortable.

The iBert Safe-T seat offers a variety of safety and comfort advantages compared to other child bike seat options. The iBert Safe-T seat allows you to maintain control of the bike when loading and unloading your child. To load and unload the child, you simply straddle the bike and lift the child into or out of the seat. When using the iBert seat you can always see what your child is doing and you can make sure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. The center of gravity in the iBert seat is closer to the center of the bike making it easier to control the bike as you ride. The seat sits higher on the bike and is smooth on the bottom so that even tall riders rarely brush the bottom of the seat with their knees and if they do they just glide along the smooth edges on the bottom.

The iBert Safe-T seat is easy to install. The patented stinger assembly attaches to any bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches on the handle bar stem. The stinger system attaches to the bike in just two minutes and the seat can then be attached and detached from the stinger in 15 seconds. If you buy additional stinger assemblies the seat can be attached to multiple bikes.

The iBert Safe-T seat is made in the U.S.A. with safety and quality as the main objectives. While the iBert Safe-T seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, at this time ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers not front mounted seats.

Specifications:

  • Allows interaction with your child
  • Child has a clear view
  • No dirt, dust, rocks, or water thrown in child's face
  • Small and easy to attach
  • Easy and safe loading and unloading of child

Simply the Best!!!
Before purchasing this seat, I had to carefuly do a deep research on the subject. I am a 6'2" guy, so, a was really concerned about having the seat hitting my knees. My neighbor has another model, which does not work at all for me, not even for him. He has to keep his legs kind of open in order to be able to ride the bike... Terrible!

Furtunately, I decided to go with the most expensive model. Sometimes the cheap become expenseive, isn't it? well... I did the right decision, instead of spending $48 dollars, I spent $89.00 on this safe-T-seat, and I cannot be happier.

The seat mechanism is really simple. It's just a little T-bar that you will be in contact with the bike. The seat plugs itself on this bar. The seat keeps in a perfect position. Even my long legs do not touch it when riding. I can ride my bike just like I was riding before the new passenger.

It took me less than 5 minutes to install the T-bar on my bike.

My daughter stays in a...

Simply the best seat on the market
I've looked at all of them and this was the only one that had consistently good reviews. This is one of the very few times that I have bought something based solely on the reviews, but the other seats had such bad reviews that I had to give this a try. The five star rating is well-deserved.

High points:
1. MY WIFE PUT IT ON THE BIKE. That is historic. It is very easy to install. You can read the instructions and have it put on the bike in 5 minutes. All other seats require HOURS or require you to take it to a bike shop.
2. Seat is sturdy and my little girl loves it.
3. Instructions say max. weight is 38 lbs. Some reviews show a lower weight so they may be for an older model.
4. MY WIFE PUT IT ON THE BIKE. Oh, I already said that.
5. I'm 6'2" and this was not a problem to use. It takes a little adjustment when you are turning the bike, but that is not a problem. Did I tell you that my wife put it on the bike?

Low points:

Great Seat but there are negatives
I bought this product for my 22 month old son who weighs a little over 29 lbs now. The boy loves the seat and the assembling on the bike is fairly easy. The seat easily comes on and off within 1 minute once the clamp is attached to the handle. The positives on this seat are definitely the fact that the child can see everything rather than looking at the adult's back. It also allows for close interaction between you and your child as you can speak to them directly and they can look up and see you.

I have mounted the seat on a mountain bike and the 3 big negatives that I've found so far is that since the seat is mounted near the center of the bike, you basically lose the ability to straddle the bike when you have to stop riding. This can be difficult when you come up to a stop light and you have to turn the bike handle to the left so that you can make enough room to be able to fit between the seat and the baby carrier and straddle the bike. Another disadvantage compared...

WeeRide LTD Kangaroo Child Bike Seat
The ultimate in child comfort and safety! All the features of the Kangaroo carrier, but with the added bonus of thick seat and back padding as well as a padded shoulder harness. Also exclusive to the LTD is the deluxe safety harness with oversized buckle system. You get the same improved passenger carrying position of our Center mount seat with more child interaction and safer weight distribution. But we've taken it to a sofa level! The Kangaroo LTD is not only the most plush carrier we make, it's the most comfortable bicycle child carrier made. Item ships with one mounting bar. For Customer Care at Kent call 1-866-462-4535.The ultimate in child and comfort and safety, the WeeRide LTD Kangaroo child bike seat offers all the features of WeeRide's popular Kangaroo carrier--including a unique carrying position and adjustable foot cups--but ups the ante by adding ultra-thick padding on the seat and back and a padded shoulder harness. As a result, your child will be more secure and comfortable than ever while you ride across the countryside or to the grocery store. The LTD Kangaroo is an unusual child bike seat because it doesn't sit behind the bike saddle, as with most carriers, but in front of the rider. This puts your child in a safer position, where you can easily take note if he or she is upset.

The deluxe safety harness and oversized buckle system, meanwhile, will keep your child secure while giving him or her a much better view of the road and surrounding activities. Perhaps the subtlest yet most convenient feature, however, is the enhanced weight distribution, which keeps you from wavering while navigating corners or hitting bumps. The LTD Kangaroo bike seat--the plushest carrier that WeeRide makes--carries a two-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the age and weight limits for passengers of the Kangaroo child carrier?
A: The recommended limit is 4 years old and 40 pounds.

Q: What is the minimum age for passengers?
A: The child should be able to support his or her own head with the added weight of a helmet, usually one years old. Please consult your pediatrician.

Q: What is the maximum height for passengers?
A: This is also dependent upon the height of the adult piloting the bicycle, obviously the rider needs to see over and reach around the passenger. A good way to judge the height of the passenger is to sit him or her on a bench and have the adult sit directly behind them. If the adult can see over and reach around the child, you should be fine on the bike.

Q: Will I have to alter my cycling position or pedal stroke when using the child carrier?
A: Yes, but the alteration is minimal. It's not a tremendous alteration of your cycling, but you will have to pedal with your knees slightly more apart than usual to avoid hitting the seat. For the short recreational trips you are taking with your child, this will be a very minor inconvenience in comparison to the quality time spent with them. If you are going for a long training ride you wouldn't want to subject your child to that, so the seat is easily removed for those rides.

Q: Will the child carrier fit my bike?
A: Wee Ride carriers will fit most bicycles: mountain, hybrid, cruiser, men's, or women's bikes. It will not fit to road bikes with drop style handlebars (rider is too hunched over) and downhill/freeride bikes (DH forks have legs that go up almost to the handlebars and the WeeRide mounting bar will restrict steering).

Q: What if I want to switch the carrier between two different bicycles?
A: An additional mounting bar is available separately. You can mount it to the other bike and switch the carrier at will.

Great Product, but Ten Caveats
[...]

Back in Spring we got him a WeeRide LTD seat. This fits between the handlebars and my seat. (There is also a non-LTD version with less padding. Both versions are sold with the mounting bar included; the separately sold bar is only for a family that wants a second one, to be able to quickly move the seat from one bicycle to another.)

It works great. But there are a large number of caveats.

First, it does not fit every bicycle. The Amazon reviews make clear that some people had to return it for this reason.

Second, I am 5'4" and it just barely fits comfortably. Anyone smaller than me would probably have problems. I did not have to change how I pedaled, or where my knees where.

Third, the 5mm hex key it comes with is so poorly machined it does not work. Anyone ordering the seat should also buy a hex key set if they do not already own one.

Fourth, my leg length allows me to normally stop the bicycle without hopping...

Good for some, not good for others
Obviosuly the concept is great. But for us it did not work out that well. First probelm is that our 1 1/2 year old was to big/tall. When we first unpacked the seat we were astonished how small the seat is, at least to us the seat is tiny, in reality that is all that is needed and the design maybe on purpose inorder for the person to bicylce comfortable without it being too much in the way. But even still we found it uncomfortable to go for any longer trips than say a quick ride.

We have instead purchased the COPILOT LIMO rear child seat. And it has worked out very well, and out child has room to grow so the product will have a longer life span as well as able to go for longer rides more comfortably. We had the same reservations that anyone would have about the rear child seat, but this particular model COPILOT seems very stable and since we bicylce together our child can see the other parent as we ride together.
Great bike seat for child!
At first we werent sure if any child would be comfortable sitting in this, but when everything was attached and my 13 month old was sitting in it, he looked just fine. He was sitting up high enough that he could see everything without having to turn side to side (as in a rear seating bike seat) and we could definitely keep our eyes on him. He's still not sure about the headrest part and he keeps his hands down to the sides, but overall, he's extremely content when we go on bike rides. We have gotten tons of positive comments from other parents that see him in it. In our area most people use the bike trailers and a few rear seats. So this is definitely something people dont normally see around here. We've only seen one other Wee Ride on the bike trail.

I bought an extra bar so that we could attach the seat to either my husband's or my mountain bikes. The one and only downfall is that for me (i'm 5'2"), I found out that i'm just too short in the torso area to allow for...

Schwinn Deluxe Child Carrier
Featuring the Schwinn brand Americans have trusted for over one hundred years this child carrier mounts directly onto the frame of the bicycle, placing children safely and securely into position behind the rider while allowing them to experience the ride itself. Sports products are designed with safety as the first and foremost concern and are constructed of high quality parts and materials to prevent degradation over time. Thoroughly tested, our products last through years of use before they are recommended for replacement, ensuring safe cycling for years to come.The PTI Schwinn Deluxe Child Carrier provides a lightweight, yet sturdy design that mounts directly onto your bicycle's frame so that you and your child can enjoy biking together. With the PTI Carrier, the child is positioned behind the rider and over the rear tire, providing a steadier riding experience than with a front-mounted child seat. Your little one can enjoy the view of the road, with a little more protection from the wind than he or she would have on the front of the bike.

Unlike bike seats that require the purchase of a rear rack, the PTI Carrier comes with a mounting system that mounts directly to the frame of the bike. The seat itself removes from the base without tools when you want to ride without it on the bike, and you can even load other cargo on the mount.

Built for safety, the PTI Carrier is suitable for older babies with good head and neck control and toddlers weighing up to 40 pounds. The carrier's lightweight, yet sturdy polypropylene frame is designed to surround the child for protection in case of impacts. The child is secure with a quick-release harness as well as a padded cross bar that also provides a comfortable resting point for their hands. Little feet and legs are surrounded by the molded frame and secured with Velcro leg restraints. For additional safety, the seat comes with a spring and spoke guard included.

Key Features:

  • Direct frame mount with included base
  • Seat can be taken on and off without tools once installed
  • Quick release safety harness
  • Velcro leg restraints
  • Padded cross bar
  • Molded design to surround child
  • Included seat spring guard and spoke guard

Toddler bicycle seat
We bought two of these based on the brand name Schwinn and they certainly live up to the name. Easy to install, everything fit without modifications. Assembly time probably no more than 20 minutes for the first one and 15 minutes for the second. All you need are a phillips screw driver and 10mm wrench, it's that simple.
As for child safety, the seats seem to be very well thought out with adjustable foot rests and leg straps, dual shoulder straps, and a lap bar. I don't see how your child could possibly get out of this seat once all the restraints are secured.

Lots of Pros only a few Cons
I tried 2 other carriers before this one and it was the best so far. My daughter loves it! I would buy it again.
Just an FYI- the instruction sheet states "Do not use this carrier on bikes with rear suspension" this was nowhere on the box.

Pros:
-Child seat is easy to remove and just leaves the "cargo rack" so if you want to ride without the child you don't have to breakout the screwdriver and wrench (LOVE THIS!)and you can use the cargo rack for other things
-Very heavy duty plastic and stable...other seats were saw were very thin plastic
-Love the headrest extension which is not pictured here but is easy to install and remove based on the child's height
-bar across the seat raises up for easy buckling
-Numerous safety features

Cons:
-My 2 year old daughter was wearing crocs and her feet were too wide for the foot holes. Also, the Velcro straps that go across the shins are a little odd. Side note: My daughter only weighs 26lbs...
Great purchase
I purchased this bike seat so that my husband could pick up my daughter from daycare. It was easy to install and even easier to sit my daughter in the seat. The only issue is that my daughter is so young, 14 months, that when she is wearing a helmet, the back of the seat is pushing the helmet forward, so her head ends up on her chest. We are going without a helmet for now, and once her head clears the top of the seat, the helmet is going back on.
Otherwise, a great buy!

iBert Safe-T-Seat Front Child Seat (Green,38-Pounds limit)
The iBert safe-T-seat is a front mounted child seat that has many benefits over the alternatives. It allows you to have more interaction with your child while riding; the child has a better view; your bike will have better center of gravity; and it is easier and safer to load your child into a front mounted vs. a rear mounted seat. The iBert is designed so you can pedal your bike without hitting your knees on the seat and is easy and fast to install. The safe-T-seat is designed for children 4 and under. The minimum age is 12 months since the child needs to be able to sit up well and hold the weight of a helmet. The maximum height of the child using the iBert seat is 42 inches. Kids taller than that will be uncomfortable. The max weight for the seat is 38lbs. Installation takes minutes. You will need at least 3/4 inch of usable stem in order to attach the seat.The iBert safe-T-seat was designed on the premise that all child bike carriers are not created equal.


The safe-T-seat lets you interact with your child while riding.
Equipped with a three-point harness and lap bar, the safe-T-seat puts your child at the front of the bike, where she is safe, comfortable, and entertained. The front-mounted location is more fun than a bike trailer, which limits your child's view while putting her in the path of rocks, dirt, and other annoyances. It's also more gratifying than rear-mounted seats, as it lets you interact more with your child while providing a better center of gravity. And unlike many traditional front-mounted seats, the safe-T-seat sits high enough to stay clear of your knees while pedaling, installs easier, and sports more safety features.

Designed for children four and under, the safe-T-seat features iBert's patented stinger assembly system, which attaches and removes easily from almost any bike. The stinger system sits higher than other seats and is smooth on the bottom. Even if you're extra tall and hit your knees on the bottom of the seat, they'll just glide along the seat's smooth bottom edges. The safe-T-seat is safe for children up to 38 pounds and 42 inches tall. Kids taller than 42 inches will be uncomfortable. Parents will need at least 3/4 inch of usable stem to attach the seat.

Awkward if you have short legs
I am medium height, 5' 5.5", but I have short legs proportional to my body. Because of this, I have a small frame on my bike and the back of the child seat is simply too close to the bike seat. It makes starting and stopping not only awkward, but, in my opinion, unsafe. I was afraid I would get stuck and topple both of us to the ground. I only went for two rides and determined that it just wasn't safe.

Given that, if you don't have a small framed bike, it is probably great.

My son loves it!
I was hesitant at first to buy this bike seat for my son, but after getting it and going on just one ride, I felt comfortable and my 1-year old loved it! It feels safer to me than one in the back of my bike because I can see what he is doing and I have him in between my arms. Plus I can talk to him as we ride. We definitely recommend it. The one negative is that it doesn't fit really well on my mountain bike. I think it fits better on a cruiser or hybrid bike.
Great at first. Then... not so much
I really loved this bike seat at first. It was a bit wobbly, which freaked me out. But I read on their site (or maybe here in the reviews?) that was normal. Ohhhhkayyyy. My daughter LOOOOOOOOVED riding in it, and she fit well into it. She's 31 pounds at the most.

Then the pin that holds the seat on warped, became mangled, and ultimately broke. ONE pin holds the seat on. One very flimsy pin. That freaked us out, but we went out and bought a new pin anyway.

Then we noticed the main bar that holds up the seat was warping and bending down. Like the weight of our 31-pound toddler was too much for it. This happened on our last bike ride, and the way we discovered it was that my husband was no longer able to turn his bike because the iBert bar hit against his bike frame. This happened a couple of miles from our house, and on a somewhat busy street, and it was fairly terrifying for him. That did it for us, we got rid of it.

We used it MAYbe 10 times total (I'm...

Best ride in town.
We already had a bike seat, but after a visit to Florida and renting a bike with a similar seat,we had to get one. What a difference. My grandson didn't like the old one and always wanted to get off the bike. With the new one with handles for him to hold on, he thought he was also riding a bike.

Mounting Issues
The seat is fine. It's safe, durable, comfortable, etc. The instructions included with the seat are poorly written. This is an imported chair and what the distributor needs to do is take the poorly translated instructions and make a proper installation instruction manual. We have Trek bikes. I had to go to our factory and fabricate mounting for this seat. Shouldn't be necessary as they said it would fit.
Worth the money compared to others but be ready to get crafty!
Seems solid once mounted 2 hour install not universal fit
I'm not going to lie to you. I wanted to take it back after I spent the first hour installing it. The reason for my problems are two-fold. Problem one is that the directions are barely sufficient. Problem two is that the hardware included wouldn't fit my bike. I have a Trek 7000 series, it is the hybrid style which is a cross between a road bike and a mountain bike.

Like I said, I would have taken it back but I got a good deal and didn't relish the idea of returning it. As such I wound up going to the hardware store, purchased a propane torch, some steel and set about making new brackets. This was about $22. The length was about the size of two brackets together with a few extra inches on the bike side and a 45 degree bend. I heated the steel with the rack portion just about completely in a vise. When it turned red it was slowly pulled down to the make the 45 degree bend.

I drilled two holes in the steel at the rack end and one at the bike end. A few minutes...
