Sports reviews of Bell Cocoon Rack Mounted Bicycle Child Carrier
Customer Review: Decent child carrier
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I received this and set about the task of unpacking the carrier and installing it last night. Forst, my box had no packing materials...just the carrier and parts, so the box was just about destroyed. Surprisingly, there were no missing parts or damaged parts.
I began installing this on my wife's cruiser-style bike. This thing barely fit. I'm not sure if this bike seat was meant for taller riders who were planning on having their seat raised many inches above the bottom position, but it just didn't quite fit right.
I finally got everything installed, but it just didn't come together as smoothly as I expect a propduct from Bell to.
Great price, great name, not worried about safety concerns, but a better-designed bracket system would do this product a world of good.
Customer Review: needs some minor tweeking

Bell Cocoon Rack Mounted Bicycle Child Carrier
we purchased this child seat for my bicycle so I could take my daughter out and ride. we had a slight difficulty as the seat did not fit the bike. My husband managed to do some adjustments with parts we had around the garage. It now fits. A friend who also bought the same seat had the same problem and ended up bending the support for the seat to make it work. The harness system is not designed well and my 22 month old daughter can wiggle out of it no matter how tight I make it. just poor design. Again I managed to use a harness system from an old stroller and we use the seat now. Overall we love Bells products and hope to continue to buy them.
Customer Review: Good Carrier, but one problem caused a MILD INJURY.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
Overall the seat met or exceeded my expectations in terms of the installation, adjustment, and use. We bought it last fall and until last week hadn't used it in warm weather. After returning from a ride in the seat with my wife, my son had cuts/scratches on the inside of both arms above the elbow(wearing a t-shirt). The cause of the injuries was the edge of the large holes on the sides of the wrap-around cage. The molding process left very sharp edges like you might find on a plastic knife. I sanded down all the edges and its fine now, but as you can imagine, we were a little annoyed. It could have just been my unit and all others are fine, but I don't think something that can cause that type of injury should make it past quality inspection.Customer Review: Moderately satisfied
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I bought this child seat for my three year old. The assembly took a while and the directions were hard to read. I did finally get seat assembled safety on the back of the bike. I did not find the bike seat to be a sturdy as expected, but it seems to work fine. I really like the handle bars on the front; I have my child climb up to the seat while I hold to handle to balance the bike. I also like how the seat itself wraps around all sides of my child just in case the bike would ever fall down. The bike seems unbalanced when I am putting my child in the bike, but once we get on the road everything seems to balance out fine. I will use this bike seat until my son gets too tall or too heavy for it to work.Customer Review: Good but not as good as copilot
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I have the copilot on my other bike and got this one for my other son. This does not compare at all to the copilot. The copilot is much more expensive though. Anyway, the rack that comes with this is a cheap plastic rack. It is really hard to get to fit to my bike and it interferes with changing of gears b/c it gets in the way of the wire.
this is good for the money but if i had it to do it again, i would get another copilot.
UPDATE: I have had it for some time now and want to update that it is really wobbly on the back of the bike. If you are looking at this, I would go for a better seat.
