I got involved in front mounted children's bicycle seats almost four years ago when I started bicycle commuting. I liked the first seat I used well enough. It was a Bike Tutor, which is now called the Co-Rider. It worked well for me, but I would occasionally scrape my shins against the metal leg rests. When my older son grew out of it, I didn't bother keeping it. This year my youngest son is finally big enough for a front-mounted seat and so we started looking around again. I thought about getting a Co-Rider, but read enough negative reviews that I was leery about it. We ended up trying the Wee Ride Kangaroo seat, but I hated it because the back rest was in my way. I sent it back immediately. We thought about the iBert seat, as it is really popular and I saw it used a lot back when we lived in the city, but I didn't really like the idea of the weight of the seat being on the steering. This seat has been exactly what I was looking for. It was a million times easier to mount than either of the first two seats I was looking at. There is no back rest or full leg rests to jar any part of my body against. The handle bars are great and keep my son's hands in a place that is comfortable for him and away from my gears, breaks, and bike computer. He does occasionally reach up and try to play with them, but it is easy enough to correct and hasn't been a big issues, and my kid is the type of kid who is into EVERYTHING. I put a bike bell on the handles and he loves to ring it when we are out passing people on the trail. We don't do any serious hard core riding: our rides average 7-10 miles at speeds averaging 10mph - sometimes as high as 16, sometimes as low as 7 or 8. My bike is a Fisher Tiburon with a women's step through. It's a hybrid bike that does well on roads and less well out on the dirt, but I do ride it on dirt roads often. I have felt very safe with my son on it while road cycling and trail cycling. As a hybrid, my bike does have a partial suspension seat with first couple inches of the post being square and the lower section being tubular, so I did have to raise my seat a bit higher than I was used to in order to accommodate the seat. The seat fits well otherwise, but there was a learning curve to getting on and off the bike and stopping at intersections without being able to simply put my feet down or sliding off the seat in the front. I was most anxious about this, and I was disappointed that the manufacturer doesn't make any recommendations more specific than "use the curb". A YouTube video would have been most helpful. That was months ago, though, and I am an old pro at it by now. I have not had any problems with the foot pegs sliding down, as others have reported. However, my son is only about 22 pounds and two years old and well below the manufacturer's maximum weight suggestion. The main bar itself is firmly attached to the bike and doesn't move. I check it every time we go out and it is always firmly in place. The seat itself has just a light foam padding on it, and the foam on the handlebars is the cheap kind that you see on kids' scooters or bikes: not designed to last long. So far it is holding up well for us, though. My son loves going for bike rides. I had trouble getting him to put his helmet on the first time, but once he had been out on the bike and had learned to associate helmet with bike ride the problem disappeared. The seat looks uncomfortable to me, but for the most part my son doesn't act as though it bothers him. Our average ride is about an hour long, but he does get bored if I don't let him off to play at some point. We usually take a break about 3/4 of the way through our loop and stop at a park to play. I have done the full hour without stopping, but not often. This seat is designed for kids to have a full interactive/participatory experience, which means that you do have to have your kid's full cooperation. They hold themselves in place and ride along with you. If they are throwing a tantrum or falling asleep you can't simply soldier on as you might with a full seat or a trailer: you have to stop and deal with the problem and talk your kid into cooperating. So that's something to take into consideration. I ride my bike solo all the time and I don't have to take the Tyke Toter off: I barely even know it's there. With the other seats I tried I could ride by myself, but they were so bulky that I didn't like to do it, which is why the Bike Tutor came off the second my son wasn't riding on it regularly anymore. They were also more difficult to take on and off. I don't have to take the Tyke Toter off, but if I did it would be a very simple thing to do. Finally, I felt like the seat post mount solved a major problem of front-mounted seats. It's simple design is brilliant in a lot of ways. However, I had hoped to be able to carry both of my kids on my bike: one on the mounted seat and the other on the third wheel. Unfortunately because of the way my seat post is designed I can't really handle more than one seat post mount at once. It might be a possibility for a more traditional seat post that is all tubular and has no suspension. My husband's post is a partial suspension as well, so I can't say for sure. I gave this product 5 stars because I haven't been able to find a better child bike seat, at least not in the US market. While I do feel that the seat and handlebar foam could be improved upon, the improvements are very minimal and will probably occur as this product evolves over time... which it is sure to do, as it is a great product. I'm very happy with mine, and so is my two year old.

I've been looking around for some mechanism to carry my 3.5 year old son around with me on my bike. The rear-seat models did not really appeal to me. I tried a few and ended up returning all of them. With the rear-mounted models, one has no idea if the child is uncomfortable or up to no good. It is also hard to talk to the child, and the ability to explain things to my son was high on the list of requirements. I bought this Tyke Toter product after agonizing over the price, which is pretty steep compared to the rear-mount models. I must say that I am completely satisfied. Riding with my son is such a joy, and he absolutely adores the entire experience. On to the product itself. I'll break up the review into two parts: installation, and actual use. The installation is a bit of a pain in the ass. The tyke toter is designed to attach to the frame of the seat. This design poses two problems. You have to keep your seat sufficiently high so that there is enough space underneath it for the clamps of the toter to fit to the mount. I had to raise my seat by nearly 1.5 inches to accomplish this. Since I have a seat with a built-in shock absorber, which adds 6 inches to the seating position, this makes the seat almost too high for me (I'm 6 feet). Someone shorter would have had to get rid of the seat and replace with a non- shock absorbing model. The other issue is that it is impossible to attach the clamp so tightly that the tike toter does not swing around on its axis. There are two flavors to this. If the clamp is loose, it swings around by itself. If the clamp is too tight, it swings and rotates my seat along with it! This is of course a safety issue. I ended up securing the toter to the crossbeam of the bike with an old shoelace, and this got rid of the rotate problem. It would have been nice if this mechanism was part of the design. On to the actual use: the toter is advertised as being able to support up to 45 pounds. My son is 35 pounds and it has no problems. Once secured with the shoelace as I mentioned earlier, it sits snugly and does not interfere with the balance or operation of the bike. Of course, when you are riding with a child perched between your legs, you are forced to spread your thighs to accommodate, and pedaling with thighs apart seemed a bit weird at first, but I quickly got used to it. This is also a great attention-getter and icebreaker, a number of people have stopped me and asked me about this! On the whole, both my son and I love this product and would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this seat after quite some research, looking for a child seat suitable for a 42" 5-yr old. Most child bike seats have a 40-lb limit, which is what my daughter weighs, not to mention that she is way too tall already to fit comfortably in the more traditional options. This one had such good reviews that I decided to give it a try, even if I ended up spending twice the amount I had in mind. I could not be happier with my decision. The only "con" I have identified so far is that the footpeg would not stay put with the original rubber thingies's adhesive no matter what; it just kept sliding down the minute my daughter rested her feet on them. I fixed the problem using double industrial-strength Velcro straps, one between the plastic footpeg and the rubber thingie (it does have a name, I do not remember it), and then on the internal surface and my bike. Some on the countless pros: - As a rider, I am certainly on the clumsy side, so I was a little concerned about the manageability of the bike with my daughter on it (rear seats totally change how riding feels). Riding with this one is smooth and since the gravity center is minimally altered (if at all), I found it easy to adapt to. - My daughters LOVE it, I cannot stress that enough. The ride to and from school (one at a time, of course) has become a treat instead of yet another chore, they look forward to, and so do I. - I would not say that I get a decent workout because the effort is very light, but it certainly is better for the body than driving and it does clear my head. - After sitting in my garage for months in a row before touching it, I am using my bike on a daily basis now, stopping by the supermarket after dropping my kid at school for milk and other small groceries. The welcome break from driving so much is also a break on our carbon footprint, and stretches that tankload of gas for a couple of days. - Since now both my husband's bike and mine have proper seats, we are having a blast riding for picnics in nearby parks and even avoiding full parking lots when we need to go somewhere near, where we do not have to wear fancy clothes - It does work with my two-yr old too, and seems to be sturdy enough for even her to outgrow it -with proper care-, so I am hoping it will more than pay for itself. One caveat for smaller kids, however, is that they get tired more easily and once she started dozing off in the middle of a ride, which made me freak out as there are not restraining mechanisms whatsoever should that happen. So, for longer rides or sleepier times, we use my husband's seat for her, which has straps. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY WEAR HELMETS EVERY TIME. All in all, a fantastic acquisition. I get asked where I got it all the time.

I just got this and installed it yesterday. Setup was extremely simple and the bar is solid, stable, and in place in about 20 seconds once you make sure how to attach it with the quick release onto the seat post. It took maybe 1 minute to put the foot rest in place and run the straps under the brake line... My only wish / complaint with the product is that I'd like a bigger size. My kid is not tiny, but a 23 month old boy who probably weighs 28 lbs / 13 kg. I am a 6 foot tall male with a 19 or 21" mountain bike... so it seems from the user photos that the sizing of the bar is perfect if you are 5'7" with a girls bike, but for me the seat would be much more ideal if the bar was 2-3 inches longer so the kid was out in front a bit more... and if the kids bar was maybe an inch or so further out in front of him that would also be a bonus (he sits like holding the reins of a horse rather than having the leverage of the handlebars out in front like on a bike). I get that the customization of this sort of product could be really complicated and it would have been hard for me to predict (unless I measured) exactly what was ideal for me and my bike. As it is, it is really, really cool but it is also hard for me to reach my handle bars without pushing my kid forward because he is a bit too close in front of me and with my bike there would be room for him to be as much as 4-5 inches further in front of me... I am quite thin so that is not the issue, but I keep pushing his helmet down over his eyes with my chest when I reach to really take a good grip on the handle bars of my bike, plus I cannot get on the bike with him in place unless I am standing over my seat (generally I like to keep it high enough that I normally get on in front of the seat step on a peddle and sit down but really am at the tip of my toes to stand over the seat). Anyhow, overall I think the construction, simplicity and design are great. Please let me know if you come up with a slightly larger size for a slightly taller guy... As it is I still think it is cooler than the back seat and safer than letting him just sit on my center bar and hold my handle bars (which we actually did the other day and he loved it)... we rode with this in place for 30 minutes the day I put it on, and from start to finish my kid had a great time.

I bought this shopping around on Amazon for something my daughter could ride in my bike with me. Most people have the carriers in the back, but me being 5'2" and 125 pounds I knew it would feel awkward. This however looked like it could solve my problem. For the most part, I love this product. There are a few things however that erk me. I hate the pegs that come with this for the childs feet. It comes with velco straps. Everytime my daughter puts her feet on it, it slides down. It just won't stay in place not matter how tight I have it. Also, I got really nervous when I got it in the mail bc it looked like it wasn't going to fit my bike. Luckily my husband figured he could move my reflector down some to make the toter fit. And it did. I have to be careful when turning though bc I don't want to pinch my daughters fingers with my handlebars. My daughter loves this. She has so much fun riding in the bike with me. It took some getting used to with her in it with me, but we are comfortable now. The product is pretty good. Just need to do something about the pegs, and I definately think $89 is a bit too much for this product. I would say this should only be sold for $50 at the most. Update! Tyke totter misplaced the rubber shims for the foot peg, which is why it kept sliding. However, they were quick to respond and sent me another pair of rubber shims for the foot peg and it no longer slides! I would say that instead of 4 stars, I know give it a 4 and 1/2. I still think it's too pricey and should not cost more then $50. Also, the tyke totter will not fit on every bike. So make sure your bike will. But overall a great product!

The Tyke Toter arrived today, I have not had a chance to get my son on it yet but I can speak to the installation being very easy. It took about 10min to install on my 2017 Kona Lava Dome (29er). My bike has a seat tube which is 100mm (3.94in) around and a downtube circumfrence of 142mm (5.59in). There is no cabling routed along the downtube. The upper portion, which the child sits, attaches to the seat post via a quick release and what appears to be a well made clamp. The lower portion is attached to the down tube via velcro straps. There are two rubber shims with adhesive backing included with the kit. Depending on the circumfrence of your down tube you will need either the thick, thin or both shims. (Smaller down tubes will need more shimming) These rubber shims are stuck to the inside of the lower portion (foot rest) before being secured to the downtube. Once the velcro is tightened the footrest feels very secure; there is alot of friction/tension between the footrest/rubber shim and the downtube which is great. I stuck the unused rubber shim onto the upper portion of the TykeToter where it may come into contact with the top tube to keep the bike from being scratched. A piece of electrical tape would do the same. I have a few minor complaints. First, the grips for the child's handle bars are not glued on and can be removed pretty easily. Kids mess with stuff and might pull a grip off while riding. Second, the footrests could be improved by adding simple toe clips to prevent dangling feet. Finally, the seat is fairly small and does not adjust forward or back. It would be great if the seat was replaced with a standard cycling seat which would allow for some adjustment via the mounting rails (and look better). Update 5/22/19 - I've been riding quite a bit with my son (daily trips to a from daycare) and I really like this seat. The easy install/removal allows me to take the seat off quickly after I drop him off and put it in my bag. I have found that it's better to put the Tyke Toter high on the seat post to minimize the change in pedal stroke. It is a bit of getting used to needing a wider stance but I imagine someone bigger than me wouldn't notice much of a change. My son loves it, he gets to see the geese and the lake on our ride. We can chat most of the way too, mostly him pointing out things he sees. Update 6/7/19 - We've got around 70 miles on this seat now and it's been great.

It is well made and relatively easy to install. It takes a little effort (far from impossible) to make it grab real tight, not swing from side to side during the ride. Goes without saying that while riding, the rider's legs are at an angle to allow for the young passenger causing some discomfort The small seat is far from comfortable. A 30 min steady ride can easily prove tiring for the young passenger. Additional padding will be required.

Love this seat! My son asks to ride every day since we got this seat! He was ok in the trailer, but wasn't too excited to ride so low staring at my back. Plus the trailer was heavy so we just were not riding as much as I would like. The Tyke Toter is lightweight, super easy and FUN to use. Be sure you get enough rubber for the footrest on your down tube so that the footrest is super solid. I have a 50cm PureFix Original and it does fit the bike well. (Pure Fix Cycles Original Fixed Gear Single Speed Fixie Bike, Delta Light Grey/Teal Blue, 50cm/Small) I also have room to reach around my son without a problem. I was concerned the seat would not work with my Interlock (InterLock Crosstown Post Bicycle Lock, Silver, 27.2mm) seat post bike lock, but it actually leaves plenty of room for the lock to operate. I made a pretty decent modification to the footrest for enhanced safety. I was concerned about my son's foot slipping forward and hitting the wheel/caught in the spokes, etc. Even with reminding him to keep his feet still the roads and bike paths around here can be a little bumpy here and there. I wanted to add something that would keep his foot from slipping forward, but wouldn't make getting on or off any more difficult. Enter cheap plastic pedal clips! I happened to have some stashed in a storage box and pulled them out. Cut down the part where a strap would be and smoothed over the plastic with some Sugru. Then I used some Loctite and Sugru to attach the clips to the footrest at an angle that seemed comfortable for my son. They don't really get in the way of installing/uninstalling the footrest since the velcro strap just slides between easily. Now I can easily check for turn clearance and not worry so much about my son's feet slipping forward and getting caught. It isn't the prettiest mod, but it's amazingly functional!
