Sports reviews of Kettler Flipper Child Bicycle Seat

Customer Review: Fancy name, average product.
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars

The seat is comfortable, but doesn't have as much side protection as others. It also does not recline back very far, which leads to my one year old daughter falling asleep and looking pretty uncomfortable. She cannot complain, but I would have preferred more of an actual recline to keep her head back and side protection as a nice resting place.

I was assured by a Kettler customer service representative that the seat would work with my boyfriend's bike before ordering (we've had problems with other seats not being compatible), but once it arrived, we were disappointed to find that the seat rested on his back tire after installed properly. I phoned again and there was nothing that Kettler would do about reimbursing my return postage or offering an alternate solution, so my boyfriend actually had to remove his front derailer to keep the seat high enough and out of the way. He actually had to DAMAGE his bike by busting off the metal derailer attachment piece on his frame to move the seat mounting unit up another two inches. In other words, one must be sure that their bike frame (where seat will attach) is at least as high as one's back tire and not any lower, or the seat will not be high enough to allow for use.

The storage pockets are very handy and the seat seems to be of average durability. My daughter definitely likes to have the lap bar to grip onto during rides and she seems to be very happy while cruising with mommy and daddy, unlike how she managed in the bike trailer. She is much more comfortable sitting in an actual, cushioned seat, as opposed to sliding to and fro during every turn and over every bump. Great purchase for fairly quick bike outings, but overpriced in my opinion.
