Description of WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat
Product Description The WeeRide Kangaroo Center Mounted Child Carrier offers an award-winning design that allows children to enjoy and share in the cycling experience, surrounded by your protective pair of arms. Your child is not behind you uninterested and distanced by the limited view. The child?s position also keeps the center of gravity where it belongs ? on the bicycle frame, not behind the rider. This all adds up to a more comfortable ride for the cyclist AND the passenger. The Child Carrier is mounted on an independent adjustable steel support bar that attaches firmly between the frame?s head tube and the seat post. The support bar is designed to mount on almost any bicycle. Customer contact information at 1-800-451-KENT (5368) or www.kentbicycles.com -- Safety Information - Always wear a helmet, knee and elbow pads when riding. Check all nuts and bolts for tightness before riding. For casual riding on smooth, flat, paved and dry surfaces free of sand , gravel or dirt. Do not ride at night or in areas of traffic. For children up to 40lbs, "If you need straps in a different size please call us at Kent International and we will have them shipped to you right away."The WeeRide Kangaroo center-mounted bike seat offers an award-winning design that makes biking with your child much safer and much more fun. It's installed onto virtually any bicycle via a patent pending, independent steel support bar that attaches between the front handle bar tube and the seat post. It provides a much more enjoyable and interactive experience for the child and rider. Your child's needs can be heard, seen and attended to more easily, and he or she has a more interesting view--no more staring at someone's back. Other advantages include no dangling arms or legs to reach wheels and the rear of the bike is free to carry your gear.
The seat is made from an injection-molded plastic form, and it features a comfortable padded foam seat, height adjustable foot cups, and a fully adjustable three-point security harness. The Padded pedestal armrest sitting atop the handlebars gives children somewhere comfortable to put their hands, and can serve as a headrest for the napping toddler.
The steel support bar is an independent support system that does not interfere with brake cables or other attached bicycle gear. It includes different sizes of plastic spacers for the front yoke attachment and rear seat post to protect the posts and ensure it fits on almost any recreational bicycle available. It's easily removable for when you want to ride on your own.
It can be used with mountain/city bikes with upright handlebars (with drop-handled racing handlebars, the rider leans forward too much for the child to sit comfortably). Children should be at least 1 year old, and it has a maximum weight capacity of 40 pounds. This bike seat is designed for casual riding on smooth, flat, paved and dry surfaces free of sand, gravel or dirt.
Sports reviews of WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat
Customer Review: Fun bike seat for trips with your toddler
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
We are very pleased with this easy to install bikeseat. I had always wondered why my toddler can't be placed in front of me. Pros: My baby has way more fun, is pointing things out and any interaction is very easy. She felt save and close to me. She can even ring the bicycle bell. Cons: You might have to consider warmer clothes for the toddler or a blanket like cover, hat and goggles since they are exposed to a lot of wind. You have to be in good control of the bike since your toddler might reach out and wants to start steering! Give yourself some practise time in a secure area and teach your toddler how to behave in there seat. But overall the seat has been fantastic, easy and fun.Customer Review: Love it!

We just got this and LOVE it! I have a 3yr old, who is actually too tall and too heavy for the seat by what is reccommended, but we were desperate. It actually works perfectly for her and me! We have a trailer as well, but the WeeRide is WAY easier! Having her in the center of the bike makes hills way easier. I had no problems balancing at all, just a little extra weight (better work-out!)Plus, I can see/hear her the whole time, so I have a better peace of mind. I do have to splay my legs a bit to pedal, but it does not interfere with my ability to ride. It fits better on my husband's bike than mine(we made it fit on mine), so be sure to check measurements before you buy.Customer Review: We use this all the time and love it!

This is a great child seat. I can hardly feel the difference from riding alone. The center of gravity is not changed at all (like the ones that attach on the back of the bike which I have had). I do not feel wobbly at all. My child loves seeing everything and we can talk while riding. I feel safer when I am on city streets with my child in front of me that when I used to have the wagon being pulled behind. This is amazing. I hesitated in buying it because my child was approaching the weight limit, but for the price and how much we've used this in the past few weeks it was worth it. I'd buy this again and would HIGHLY recommend it to others.Customer Review: Wee Rider Rocks

This is one of the best products I have bought. It is so simple to install, and it is much better than a rear mounted child seat. It has the benefits of you being able to see your child all the time, and able to interact with your child by pointing out things. You can see when they are falling asleep and don't get the fishtail effect of a sleeping child on a rear seat. From a safety perspective, the seat is great, as the child is always enveloped within your arms, so if you have to fall, you will be able to shield the child from the impact. I would recommend this child seat to anyone who want to have a great cycling experience with your child.Customer Review: The best thing I've purchased on Amazon thus far!

My husband and I reviewed a few children's bike seat and we were getting negative reviews about the seats that attach behind the bike. Apparently it causes some imbalance when you use the seat that attaches behind the bike. We found this Kangaroo child seat from WeeRide and we strongly agreed that having the child in front where you can see him at all times was the safest. My 18 month old loves to ride along with his Daddy. The best part about this seat is that it is light weight, very nice design, and it allows the child to have a great view while riding. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking into buying a child bike seat.
