WeeRide Classic Safe Front Mounted Children's Bike Seat Ages 1-4 in Grey

Product Information

The WeeRide Kangaroo sits in between the saddle and the handlebars, over the bike’s top tube and pretty close to the adult rider. Most other front-mounted seats are mounted on the handlebars, farther away from the adult.

We have tried rear-mounted child seats in the past and after testing the WeeRide Kangaroo, we discovered that we much prefer a front-mounted seat option. From a parent’s perspective, this setup makes it easier to balance the bike, and our little loved one is much more accessible for cuddles and on-bike interaction. Installing the spacer does require removing the handlebars, so be sure to know how to properly and safely reinstall the handlebars on a bike before you take them off! This is fine for short rides around the neighborhood, but if you want to go more than a few miles, I would suggest a smaller seat, a rear child bike seat, or even a bike trailer where your pedaling motion and steering ability are not limited by a large seat taking up space.

In our real-life testing, about half of our adult bikes did not have adequate space to mount this seat and would have required the spacer. Get your child to school – can the seat be easily removed once you have reached your destination? The WeeRide Safe Front Bike Seat can be removed in seconds. WeeRide accepts no responsibility for any damage to a bike where the product has not been correctly fitted. All models of the Kangaroo have a listed age recommendation range of 8 months to 33 pounds. However, we strongly encourage you to wait to use any baby bike seat until your child is 12 months old. 12 months is also the age that is recommend by the American Academy of Pediatrics.So, with such clear disadvantages why do we still see so many being used? It Is because they have been around the longest. Plus there were so many misunderstandings about front and centre seats and how safe they were, that meant the old fashioned seats maintained a large percentage of the market up until recently. Although WeeRide don’t make rear mounted seats there are some great rear mounted models made by the likes of Polisport and Bellelli.

WeeRide is a family business. We set the company up after buying a seat and falling in love with it. We want every customer to be as happy as we were when using the seats with our kids. If you have any issues we want to help and have a wide selection of spares to keep you moving. Warranty – WeeRide baby bike seats are made to the highest spec in Europe and have a 2 year warranty. Your child’s safety is our priority. More like giant foot cups, the footrests were big enough for our tester to keep his foot in while barefoot, wearing his favorite rain boots, and in regular sneakers. Once the spacer is installed, simply remove the smaller, thinner plastic spacer inside the front clamp of the seat’s mounting bar (the plastic insert closest to the “FRONT” marking on the bar, marked with red arrow below). Once removed, wrap the clamp around the groved spacer, making sure the end of the bar is placed inside the spacers’ groves, and then tighten. For WeeRide bike seats weight is never the factor that stops a child using the seat, it is height. The child will start to run out of room for their legs. But because kids have different body and leg make-ups, and bikes have different geometries, we don’t give an official height. We just generalise and say height becomes an issue around aged 4.The ultimate in child comfort and safety, the Weeride Kangaroo Deluxe is the best child-in-front bike seat available in the world. Bike seats mounted in front of the rider became popular with the launch of WeeRide over 15 years ago. Front mounted seats gave you the benefit of being able to communicate with your child, which was clearly more fun for the child and adult. If your child drops something or needs your help, you can see them and deal with any issue. But had the disadvantage of adding all the weight to the front of the bike, often directly on the steering, something that could be dangerous under heavy braking. CENTRE MOUNTED BABY BIKE SEATS – SUIT AGES 6 MONTHS TO 4 YEARS However, you’ll only have to install it once. Once in place, the seat itself can be removed and reattached easily, which our tester really loved. Although the bar left behind when the seat isn’t on doesn’t look too snazzy and adds a significant weight to the bike, being able to remove the seat for everyday riding so easily is a huge bonus.

This mounting plate installs easily, but if you plan on swapping the Co-Pilot between adult bikes frequently, we highly recommend getting a spare hitch for the other bike. Giving the seat a freshen up with some new straps or replacing the occasional part saves the cost of buying an entirely new seat if anything does break or wear out. Fits most bikes including oversized head tubes and full suspension of 16”+ (except drop handle bars). Comes with its own bar so fits to Ladies and Mens bikes. New adaptor available for zero headset bikes. Best mountain bike baby seat. If you ask our toddler what he thought of his first ride in theWeeRide Kangaroo, he would throw his thumb up in the air and tell you that it was AWESOME! When it comes to riding with toddlers, what more do we really need to talk about?? The footrests on the WeeRide Kangaroo areheight-adjustable and can easily be adjusted on the fly. The longest footrest position, however, is pretty short though. In fact, although almost a year apart in age, both of our testers use the footrest at the lowest position. Considering the highest position is just below the bend for the knee, the upper positions are not practical.

The weight limits are set by EU (15kgs) and US (18kgs). However, these are based on seats that attach to the handlebars where it is clearly dangerous to have too much weight directly affecting steering.
