WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat

This is a great product, my son loves it. I always hated those were your baby is looking at your toosh, never thought it was quite right, so when I saw this I immediately wanted it. Plus it was a fantastic deal and my son is so happy on it. There is only one snag which is why I took away that last star, my husband put it on his bike and he has a back issue, and it requires you to sit straight up, and it kind of hurts him if we go off roading type trails. Otherwise would recommend to anyone.

The beauty of having a child with you on the bicycle is the ability to share the sights and sounds and experiences that are present around you. With this front-mounted seat you get to see what the child sees, and to have a running dialogue with him. Excellent

My son is 20 months old, and is very tall for his age. I was concerned if this seat would be able to fit him (and still accommodate my lanky self on my bike). I admittedly was skeptical after seeing some negative reviews on this product (surprisingly, no one mentions the age of their kids - important for a product such as this).

Having used this for a week now, I am a total convert and will enthusiastically recommend this to anyone. Not only does it fit my son, but it also allows me to ride my bike without any problems (no wide-angling of my legs). I have a standard $80 road-bike bought from Walmart, nothing fancy here. I have been able to ride for an hour on my bike with my kid without any discomfort at all. I love the fact that it is front-mounted, and the hand/head-rest is very convenient for my son to hold on to. His feet rest correctly in the bottom section of the seat, and the seat-belt is easy to put on and take off.

I now wake up to the calls off 'biking' from my son early in the morning. :-)

This seat works great for me. I do not experience any of the difficulty in pedaling that others have noted, and I am even able to stand most of the way up to pedal up hills (I am 5'-10" tall and I have the seat mounted on a Giant Rincon mountain bike). My one (minor) complaint is that I wish the back of the seat came up a little higher - my son is always trying to lean his head back into my chest as we are riding - perhaps a removeable head rest or something.

I thought this would be a perfect alternative to the caboose type carrier, but I was very disappointed. The straps are way too long for my child (and probably for most kids--my daughter is 22 lbs and 30 in. tall). The seat is almost exactly straight up so she was leaning forward making it uncomfortable. I returned it.
