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: Love it and my son also love it.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Despite of the negative review, I purchase it because I wanted the my son to come with me for the ride. This product is perfect for my bike which is a mountain bike with 26" wheel. It was very easy to install; thus it only took about 5 minutes to install. The only thing that is wrong with it, the part that hold the hand screw in place came off, but it is still usable. Just had to hold that part will screwing it to the bar. Other than that, I would still recommend it... If you don't remove the seat every time after riding, then there is no problem with the screw. Thus still give it 5 stars just for the product itself...Customer Review: A riding wee will go!!

Yay! My wee ride seat arrived today! I am very impressed by the quality of this item! My husband attached to my bike pretty quickly.. and since it's winter here in Michigan we practiced a bit in the living room! So, I haven't officially taken my girl for a ride yet, but I don't see any issues with getting on the bike or peddaling. A lot of people said that you had to peddle with your legs bowed, but I don't have that issue. I'm 5'4 and also find no problems getting on the bike with the seat in place. My 14 month old loved our practice run in the living room! can't wait to take it for a full ride!!!!!!!!!Customer Review: WEERIDE Child Bike Seat

My daughter is 3 years old, 37 inches (18 inches hip to heal). And has plenty of room to grow. (When she sits in the seat she still has a few inches between her knee and the handlebars.) Up to child size 11/12 shoes work with the foot rest. She is too tall for co-pilot rear mounted seat and too short for a trailer but this seat is perfect. And she loves it. Literally said "wee" within a few feet of the drive. You do pedal differently but the variation is slight (knees angled out about an inch more than normal)-"egg beaters" can still be used. Not uncomfortable but you will feel it as new muscles are used.Customer Review: desperate mom

After searching for a bicycle seat for my 20 month old daughter, this seat has it all! I didn't feel comfortable with the seats that sit on the back of your bicycle, the weight distribution was awful! After getting the wee-ride, it took my husband about a half hour to put on, my daughter LOVES it!!! The first time out, she fell asleep on the head rest and my arms kept her straight, the foot holders are great. When people in my neighborhood saw us riding around they did a double take! I cannot rave enough about this fabulous seat! My daughter is safe, comfortable and loves going for a family bike ride now!Customer Review: Love these seats!

My husband and I bought this seat to go on his bike because our girls love riding with me so much...now we can go on family bike rides! I love that I can see the kids without having to turn back, I can reach them without having to reach around backwards, and they love that they can see evrything and feel the breeze in their faces! Installation was pretty easy, but we have hybrid bikes, which must have a thicker frame, so my husband ended up getting longer bolts at the hardware store to attach the seats more firmly, but that was no big deal. I think this is one of the best kid/bike solutions I've seen!
