Great product, sturdy and neat. started using at 13 months. Baby loves biking and I love that if he falls asleep i can lean him back. At first he didnt kick me but now he needs his feet secured and we appreciate that small feature too.

With only 4 bolts it gets attached to the seat pole of my gravel bicycle. It is comfortable for the baby and feels relatively safe while riding the city. We started using it when the baby was 9-10 months old and expect it to last until he grows to ride his first bikes

Many years ago I purchased a Thule ride along for my daughter and I loved the quality. It was safe, well built and light. This product is just as good as the Thule seat. Very well built, actually I love the knob adjustment for seat pitch. You can't go wrong with either brand.

I ride road bikes and use a 60cm frame and this child seat meets my needs. I do not get heel strikes while pedaling, unlike rack mounted designs from Thule. Did not bother with their frame mounted design because other riders mentioned heel strikes. Product is easy to install and straight forward to meet the installation guidelines recommended by the manufacturer: height above the tire and distance away from rear axle. Doing this is the hardest part of the installation, I used an improvised plum bob to measure distance from the calibration mark on the seat to my rear axle.My only complaint comes from watching a video of my riding when there is a kid in the seat. With a child in the seat, it sways when making tight turns. I suspect this can be mitigated by getting a frame mounted seat or purchasing something additional. I had no idea the seat swayed until I saw a video and I had ridden several miles prior to seeing the video. If you have ridden with cargo in panniers, there is no difference in the ride.My kid and I enjoyed our first ride. More to come. Thanks for a good and useful product.

The seat has a recline feature which has been very nice for our 10 month old. I like that the back of the seat is higher than his head for comfort and safety. It was fairly easy to install once I found the correct placement for it to clear the seat and bike tire. The straps are easy to get on and off and hold our baby in very well.I tried this seat with my 40 lb daughter as well and although she fit safely in the seat, it was too much weight on the back of the bike to be able to control it easily. Once I stopped and was off the seat the back tire of the bike started to slide out from under her almost dropping her strapped in to the bike to the ground. So although this can hold 40+ lbs beware it may not be very safe.

This is a very solid kid bike seat. Safe, pretty comfortable for both kid and parent. Was surprisingly easy to install and to take off and on. Kid is a little bit close to your back even at the longest setting but I think you get used to it. We ended up returning this and getting one of the bike trailers (where the kid also pedals) but only because she decided to prefer that and started learning to bike herself. I wish I had gotten this product sooner. Company accepted return for full refund without issue. I had saved the box and packaging, which is very uniquely shaped. I'd recommend this product, even though I returned it.

I bought this bike seat to replace a cheaper brand that wasn't holding up. I'm so glad I bought it, as it is sooo much better. The seat is suspended and has a little bounce, which makes it so much more comfortable for the kids. I love that the foot rests adjust for different sized kids, as well as the back slides up and down. I'm addition, the seat reclines. This is great because I have a 1 and 2 year old, and I use it for both of them. It is removable, so when we put my bike on the car rack, I put it in the trunk for safe keeping. This is definitely worth the extra price. Don't cheap out when it comes to your children's safety

Words can’t really express how satisfied I am with this seat. It’s the best! It was clear even from the careful packaging that Hamax takes pride in their product. The seat itself is well made and attractive. I found the directions to attach it to my bike clear and easy to follow, and I set it up by myself within twenty minutes or so. Once attached, it is very secure. My 18 month old seems to find it comfortable.When riding, it definitely takes a few minutes to get used to the different weight and center of balance, but the seat has its own suspension and kept my kiddo riding smoothly even on a bumpy road.The only problem we had was that we were so excited to try it out, we went for a ride right away...and unfortunately spring wasn’t quite here because it started snowing halfway through! However, our more recent rides have been more pleasant (and much warmer) and we can’t wait to keep exploring by bike through the summer.One thing to keep in mind is that I am not able to use back panniers with the seat on...might just be the way my bike is, but I have to put my front rack back on and use front panniers if I want any kind of storage/carrying capacity.Overall, I’m extremely happy with this bike seat and highly recommend it.
