- Is there a weight limit on how large my child could be?
The seat carries a maximum weight of 40 lb./18 kg and at a minimum the child must be 1 years old (must be able to hold their head up).
- Is there a maximum height my child could be?
The only constraints on the height of a child is that their knees must fit under the handlebars. Small 7-year olds have been accommodated by the seat.
- You say that this fits MOST bicycles... how can I tell if it will fit mine? What if I buy it and it does NOT fit my bicycle?
The seat fits bicycles with 610mm and 640mm wheels. If you purchase a seat and it does not fit a bicycle with the aforementioned specifications, please return it to the point of purchase for a full refund. We have tried the child carrier on a wide range of different bicycles. The only bicycles that this seat does not fit on are bicycles with racing (curled) handlebars.
- Why can't I use it on my racing (drop-handled) bicycle?
With racing handlebars, the rider leans forward too much for the child to sit comfortably.
- Once it is on my bicycle, do I have to take it off?
No. You can remove the child carrier itself from the steel support bar quite easily - it is attached by a single thumb screw - for putting the bike on a carrier, or if you wish to ride without the carrier. The bar on which the carrier is mounted remains on the bicycle and does not interfere with normal riding.
- How easy/hard is it to install?
You should be able to install it yourself in about 20 minutes if you are used to working on your bicycle.
- How much does it weigh?
Installed weight is just over 7lbs/3.2Kgs.
- Do I put my child in the carrier before I get on the bike or after? What is the procedure?
This is a personal preference. Due to the position of the carrier, the bicycle is quite stable with the child in it.
