I got this over my husband's skepticism that it would actually work. Within 10 minutes we were both believers. The seat installs in no time and with minimal tools - unlike some ladies here I had my husband do the installing because I am a big chicken :) but I easily could have done it myself, with no trouble. 15 minutes after pulling the seat out of the box it was on the bike and we were on the road. My son LOVED being able to sit close to me and see everything as we pedaled down the road, he was pointing things out left and right (literally!). He got upset when we had to go back home and for the rest of the evening kept asking for "more ride bike? More ride bike?" So this product gets thumbs up from both the adults and the kid in our household!
I didn't think that the seat made the bike any more difficult to maneuver and my son (who is quite tall for his age, already over 36 inches at 21 months old) didn't impede my steering or braking at all, even with his bulky bike helmet on. He doesn't have much room to grow in the seat, and we do have to take his shoes off to get him in it, but once he's in, he fits fine and feels very secure and stable in the seat. It's more of a workout for me to have him on the bike but that's not a bad thing, I could use the exercise :) and it's well worth it to have so much interaction with him when we're riding. We were able to talk about everything we saw as we whizzed down the street.
I think this is a winner of a product and much better than those back-of-the-bike seats (we tried one and I think those DO make the bike feel more unstable) and the trailers. I love this and feel it was well worth the money. It's a simple idea but this product executes it well. If you're considering this item, don't hesitate, buy it! It makes getting out on the bike with your child a lot more fun. After using this I have come to the conclusion that those bike trailers are much better used for gear than they are for kids!
-- It's front-mounted, which means your child will be able to see everything, as well as YOU being able to see and check on them, and actually talk to them and hear them. We find this to be a HUGE plus. If he was on the back of the bike, we'd be turning around a lot, and that is just not safe.
-- Also the fact that it's front-mounted means they're closer to your center of gravity on the bike, which makes not only for an easier ride for you, but a safer one.
-- They're closer to you, making for a more fun and more connected ride. You get to experience things along with your child, rather than asking after you both get off the bike, "Did you see that duck fly by?"
-- Very, very, very, very -- did I mention VERY? -- easy to install!
-- Really easy to move from one bike to another. Like ridiculously easy.
-- Quite lightweight!
-- GREAT price, in comparison to the other bike seats that came anywhere near the safety and use recommendations that I was comfortable with.
Two things I was concerned about before purchasing:
-- The weight limit. It's lower than other bike seats, at 38 pounds. Well, I decided to just get the darn thing and see how it goes. The good news is at 2 years of age, my son is only 28 pounds. We have at least a couple, if not a few, more years of riding with this thing. At that point we will re-assess -- and will have gotten a ton of great usage out of this thing, and he will likely be ready for a different mode of bike transport anyway.
-- That little steering wheel that is optional. I totally thought I wanted one. I didn't buy it, thinking we'd wait and see how it went with just the seat. Well, lo and behold, what they don't tell you (and they SHOULD) is that this seller includes the steering wheel! Woohoo! Making the overall cost even better.
In short: get this seat. You and your child will love it.
