Customer Review: Great for Commuting
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I use the Kettler Flipper seat to take my 18 month old daughter to daycare. It is approximately a four mile ride that takes us 30 minutes. She loves riding in it. She really enjoys being able to look around and say "hi" to other bikers and pedestrians. There is also an advantage for me in having her on the bicycle so close behind. When we are waiting at a red light, I can turn around make eye contact, talk to her, make sure that her helmet is on right, wipe her nose, etc.. My back also seems to provide some protection for her from wind and debris. I haven't had issues with the stability of my bicycle with the seat attached and the kid inside, but I probably would not recommend this seat for novice riders. It does add a great deal of weight to the bike, and makes it less stable when you're not moving.
One other great thing about this seat is that it inserts into a clamp that attaches directly to your bike's frame. This clamp is very small, and doesn't add much weight or bulkiness to the bike. When I'm not transporting the kid, I can pop the seat right out. You can buy an additional clamp for your other bicycles, so that you can transfer the seat from one bike to another in less than a minute.
As some of the other reviewers pointed out, assembling this seat takes a bit of time, over an hour to get everything together and adjusted properly. Once that's done though, you never have to worry about it again. If you're not mechanically inclined, I would recommend a bike shop assembling it for you.
Customer Review: Time for wonderful bike rides
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Our son is just over 2 years old, 37 inches and about 36 lbs. It was very hard to find a bike seat that would hold his weight for now and for a while longer.
This Flipper is one of the few I could find and we decided to go with this due to the good price I got.
The bike seat was easy to assemble to the bike and the rides are great! Our son loves to go on a bike ride. He sits very comfortable and this seat will be big enough for another year or more. There is lots more to grow length wise and this seat holds up to 50 lbs! Fantastic - recommended for everyone that wants a comfortable and safe/sturdy bike seat for your precious one!
Customer Review: He loves it!

We purchased this product after shopping around several similar products and reading reviews. We needed a seat that would accommadate our 3 year old that is taller than most 5 year olds. There was a learning curve to installing the seat the first time and to getting on the bike with a 45 lb child on the back, but both she and her dad love it. The seat is comfortable for her - she has even fallen asleep in it. It is stable enough that her dad feels secure with her riding behind him. Now the whole family can ride together.Customer Review: check out the Kettler website

I was interested in this product and found that it can be ordered directly from Kettler for a better price (as of today, prices at Amazon change frequently), and includes "free" accessories.

We bought this seat for my 11 month old and he has no problem sitting in it. He loves going for rides. We definitely recommend this seat. My husband said it was not bad putting together either. We are very happy.
