| I was very interested in purchasing one of these for my then infant so that I could see him while riding bikes with the rest of the family, but I tried one before buying and, being short in stature (I'm 5'2"), my legs kept hitting the foot rests of the seat and we kept having to play head tango. It's a swell idea, but not for those of the shorter variety. |

| Exactly as listed. Works wonderful. Very fun and intimate way to share the fun of riding with your young child. With an additional easy to find child seat on the back, you would be able to carry 2 kids on you bicycle. Only issue you will need to adjust outward your knees as you pedal to keep from hitting the child seat. Also will need to adjust how you mount the bike. You will need to mount from the rear of the bike. Free Shipping was a big plus from this vendor! |

| Easy to install product and take on and off bike, also an extra bar makes switching between my husband and I fast and easy. The mounting bar is a stable base for the seat. My son enjoys being between our arms. He does reach down and play with the brake cables, gear shifter, and handle bars. He is 24 pounds so hopefully he will get over this curious stage. He also fell asleep once and ended up resting his head on my arm which got uncomfortable. We have to widen our legs slightly when peddling and my son loves to put his hands on my knees to help me peddle. We love the closeness though so we love the weerider. I thought of making a cloth sound activity center to go over the front rest to keep him stimulated when the ride gets boring. This would be a nice add on. |

It is impossible for me to understand how some people find this product difficult to install, or uninstall-able on their bike. I found the product to be highly versatile in its installation options and I'd wager I could install it on any bicycle on the planet. (And just for the record, my bicycle has less than 1/4 inch of clear space between the top bar and the steering collet.) If you have any cleverness about your wits at all, you will be able to install it.
It also still leaves plenty of room on the handle bars for accessories (lights, reflectors, bells, etc.) although I had to move my trip computer out onto the mountain climbing grip in order to be able to see it clearly.
After shopping all such devices I also find it difficult to imagine why any of those other products are even legal on an American street. This is the only product I've seen of the five or so main ones available which will offer the infant any kind of protection in an end-over accident scenario. That funny wing looking "dashboard" is what will keep the entire weight of the bicycle from smashing down on the child should there be an accident. Every other design I've seen, that is exactly what would happen if the bike went end-over. The child would be pinched between the pavement and the bicycle.
And of course, as many have said, our child loves it! Much better than a rear seat. She can see and she loves to let her arms hang down and touch my legs every time I pedal around.
The only drawback is the child's head is pretty much right in your chest. Clearly a "well-endowed" mother and a child with a helmet on would not be compatible. But I don't see that as a design flaw, it is just a reality. I could also see how a very petite person might have a hard time finding enough room to get everyone aboard as well.
The product is exactly as advertised, easy to install, is the only save option I see out there for a product of this kind, and is well made. And the price on Amazon is just perfect for the product. Home Run!

 "No room for the rider" | 2008-08-18 |

| As pointed out by other here, when installed, the weeride doesn't leave any room on the top frame bar, which is really dangerous when you need to stop in a stop light. I have a fairly large frame and didn't work for me. I am returning it. |

| The bike seat is great. My daughter and I love going out for a bike rides. I am 5'11" and have not had difficultly pedaling around the WeeRide. The hardest part was learning to shift down to make the uphills instead of standing up and pedaling. Not being able to stand up and pedal makes some of the hills that I am used to climbing easily very challenging. Anyways be certain that your current bike has at least a one inch handle bar neck on the frame to attach the front support clamp. I had to buy a new bike because the frame I had wasn't long enough. |

The installation took me about half an hour. I have a Trek 800 mountain bike with straight handle bars. I had to lower the handle bars because the head rest would not allow me to turn. You also need to make sure that you have at least 1/4 inch of clearance on your bike stem under the handle bars. The attachment rod has to connect to your bike frame not your handle bars, (otherwise you cannot turn).
The bike seat comes with the attachment rod, I don't know why Amazon tries to sell as a package deal.
The strap IS crap, I have to agree. While the item was shipping to me I went to BabiesRus to buy some strap cover pads to help beef them up. That was useful, but more useful would have been one of those graco chest strap holders for car seats (creating a 5 point restraint). This will keep the should straps on your child's shoulders. It should have been included.
The attachment rod is secured to the bike firmly. However, the seat is attached to the rod with a thumb screw. I would have preferred at least two connection points. Also there is only one hole to attach the seat to the rod at. This puts my kid way up front and his knees are very close to the handle bars when I turn. I don't know why they didn't put a few more holes in the bar so that I could adjust where he sits between my seat and the handle bars.
Good product over all. I chose this product to be closer to my kid and it just intuitively seemed safer than a trailer and easier to balance than a seat that attaches on the back.
I would recommend this product with the above improvements. |

| This is a great bike seat. Our two year old loves riding in the front where he can see what is going on. When riding I hardly notice him on the bike, balance is not affected like a rear mounted 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. |
