🚲 Thule RideAlong Child Bicycle Seat Review

As mentioned, it doesn't fit well on a women's bike. I was grateful that I found and ordered the low saddle seat adapter as it now fits perfectly. However, trying to find information about what goes with what is quite confusing. I ordered the adapter hoping it would fit out of warranty. Luckily it happened. If I were to do it again I would go for the full version for better padding, but other than that the seat is good. I use it on my Bintelli Trend Ebike.

The seat itself is fine and I have to admit that my kid likes it, the problem is the quick release. There's no way to attach it so it doesn't hit the backs of the legs at the bottom of the pedal stroke. If my frame's rear triangle connected higher to the seat tube it would probably be fine (since I could mount it closer to the seat), but on my bike (and presumably with many regular road frame geometries) this is impossible. . This makes the seat completely unusable and since I've already…

This seat is great for my 21 month old baby (25 pounds). She seems happy in it. We have driven at least 20 km so far. She even fell asleep on one of the rides. Mounting the mount is easy. I chose this seat because my cruiser bike doesn't have the necessary holes to install other types of seats that require a mount over the rear wheel. I have to remove the bike seat every time to remove the child seat for transport, but that doesn't really matter now since I have a quick release seat clip…

I bought this seat for my 2.5 year old son who is quite tall. He and his little sister rode in the trailer before buying the seat. My husband installed the seat on my Surly Long Haul Trucker steel touring bike. My son liked to sit high and had a better view. Excited, he showed what he saw. We did about 15+ miles with the seat. Riding a bike with a seat takes a little getting used to, and the altered gravity feels like riding with big saddlebags. The seat has good rebound, which makes it…

I've been using this chair for my 3 year old daughter (just over 30lbs) for about 3 months now and it's great. I bought a frame model that I installed on my 56cm Surly Cross Check. I'm not an advanced bike mechanic (I can change tires and disassemble shoes, but I did most other things in the shop) and I found the installation very easy. It all took about 20 minutes. It's important to note that I had no problems with my heels hitting the child seat's legrests. There is enough ground clearance…

This is a great bike seat for your child to have fun with. Our little fella is comfortable in it and loves to be up front so he can see what's going on. Our son loves driving it! Once the mount is attached to the bike, it is very quick and easy to attach and remove the seat from the mount. The straps are easily adjustable for a comfortable fit. I also love that you can mount it on the bike for extra security if you leave your bike unattended. Well, having said all that, I'll warn you: we have…

We discussed several different seats (front or rear) and settled on this one for a number of reasons: 1) The adapter makes it easy to fit the seat between my bike and my husband's to change bike (or not have a seat at all) 2) The reclining function is good because my daughter often falls asleep on the ride 3) We were afraid our knees would touch the front seat 4) The seat will last a long time Height/weight 5) The Incline and the footrest are very easy to adjust. The seat slides in and out of…

Pay attention to which bike you use it with. I used to be a big cyclist before I had a baby, but I was pregnant and then breastfed. contributes to long bike rides, which I enjoy. My road bikes and mountain bikes are carbon fiber and I knew I couldn't fit a child seat on those bikes. So I decided to buy a used steel women's mountain bike to use with this child seat. I don't normally ride women's bikes, but I bought one specifically to use with a child seat because you have to be careful getting…
