iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle Seat

I bought this iBert after reading reviews of many different types of seats and trailers. My son is 7 months old and he loves bike rides! He's 26" tall and will be riding in this iBert for a long long time. Definitely make sure your child is able to hold his/her head very well, the bouncing of the bike would be rough for the newly sitting babies. I have a Trek 3-speed cruiser bike. The iBert clamps to the steer tube and turns as I turn. It's very well centered so it doesn't affect my balance or steering ability. I haven't hit my knees at all. I read that as your baby gets heavier, steering and balance may be affected. I put a 26 pound, 2-year old in there and it still did fine. She even had growing room for her feet. The box says up to 42" tall. Also, you can get extra parts from the iBert website. I got the pad for the seat, the seat I bought here didn't come with one. I would recommend this seat to anyone. You can see your child, talk to him/her, and know if they fall asleep :)

We purchased the iBert a couple of months ago and have fallen in love with it. It is so nice to have our daughter (15 months) in front of us where we can see her while we are riding. She loves to point at things while we are riding. I can now see her do that and know what she is pointing at. She can also talk to me and I can hear her since she is right there in front of me. The only problem that I have found is that I have longer legs and my knees do bump the seat just a little. Of course, not enough for it to be a problem. Love it and recommend it for everyone!!! A must have if you like cycling.

Riding a bike with my 12 month boy has always been on my wish list. However all the rear mounted seats that I saw were boring from the child's perspective. What fun is it to stare at mama's back all the time ? Also there is limited interaction with the child when they are at the back especially when you want to point and show them something. The ibert seemed perfect when I reviewed it online and when I received it promptly from Amazon I was not disappointed. First you have to admire the simple design and the bold green color. In hind sight no other color would have done justice to the seat. Secondly the installation was a breeze. I normally would have waited to put this in my husband's "honey-do" list but I was so eager to ride the bike with my son that I installed it myself. It took me a total of 20 min and that was because I put the T-bar the wrong way the first time and had to reinstall it again.There is also no question that it is really safe once you understand how the ibert fits on the bike My son loves to sit in the child seat and ever since it has been installed we have been doing daily trips down the trail and riding it to the park. Once he even fell asleep in it ! The price may be little more than other seats in the market but it is worth it for the good design and the simple installation. You will get good use out of the seat. My son could probably use this till he is 3-4 years old. If you ever think of getting a child seat for your kid this is the one hands down.

My favorite part about this seat is that when I put my baby boy in it, I feel like Elliot from the movie "E.T.". I usually put a blanket over my son's head when we ride in order to get the full "E.T." effect. My son loves Reece's Pieces too, which makes it all even better. I wish his finger lit up. He's pretty much worthless. But the seat is great.

I got this for my 18mo. old boy after reading all the reviews for rear mounted seats and then came across the iBert. It all makes so much sense to have your kid on the front. We interact easily when he's in front without him looking at my butt the whole time if he were in the back. I can see where he's looking and pointing and curious about things. Incredibly easy to attach and then remove the seat with the pull of a single cotter pin. The additional weight and balance for me is barely noticeable once you get going, and I can also easily put him in and take him out on my own. The only drawbacks for me are that I have a 12 speed Bianchi roadbike and I needed to turn the handlebars upward to make me more upright. When I first took him out before that, my chest was bumping and pushing his head forward a little bit. So while this solution works fine the iBert is definitely more suitable for an upright style bike like a mountain bike or a cruiser. Additionally, my legs do brush along the sides of the seat, but again, i got used to it very quickly-it's not uncomfortable-just different. Even with those two cons, the pros far surpassed my expectations and there is nothing better then taking a ride with your little man.
