Review on SWAUSWAUK Kids Bike Seat: Front-Mounted Attachment for Adult Bikes, Suitable for Children 2-5 Years (Up to 48 lbs) by Mark Turner

Stop spending on child seats and cargo trailers

I've wanted the original version of this car for years. I've been keeping a close eye on it waiting for a sale because wow too expensive for what it is. It never went on sale. I emailed them saying they were taking their price off the market and now a year later these alternative versions are popping up all over the internet for 1/3 the price. The quality is excellent, it has all the protective pads, the seat is comfortable, the handlebars stay in place and I just mounted it on my Cannondale mountain bike with a 250w electric motor with a front hub. I'm 2 months old and haven't had any problems. My 3 year old loves to ride and even my 6 year old jumps on it for short rides. However, she is too tall and really needs to bend her legs. I took a few kids from the neighborhood and they're all learning fast. At first they try to stay 100% vertical while spinning, but eventually they get so low that your hands gently force them to tip. After a few times, you'll find that as you spin them, they intuitively start tilting without even touching your hands. I don't see any reason for something you'll only be using for a few years before the kids want to ride their own bikes. Spending more is very durable and I bet I will have no problem selling it when my kids get too big. I know they advertise on the more expensive ones everywhere. and it's not the quality of this versus that. his security. I have mountain bike experience at ski resorts and 25 years of trail riding. When you stop abruptly and abruptly, kids tend to lean forward and possibly roll forward, and they just don't have room to kick their butt back to stay in place. Fast turns aren't a problem, they're supported by your arms and forced to lean as you turn. Also, traveling alone isn't that much fun anymore. My knees sometimes rub on the bike seat. Although this is not so important. They're not coming off as quickly as advertised (this one or a more expensive one that has the same process).
