Product Description
The iBert safe-T-seat was designed with quality and safety first. The safe-T-seat places the child up front, safely between the parent's protective arms. This evenly distributes weight over the bike giving a stable, safe ride. Kids enjoy the close interaction and the unobstructed view of the fun ahead. Mounted conveniently on the handlebar stem; the high, forward position allows you to pedal in comfort without banging your knees on the seat.
Amazon.com Product Description
Created by parents who were disappointed with the family bicycling options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was made to offer families the best biking experience possible in safety and comfort. This front mounted seat offers both parent and child excellent range of vision, with the opportunity to interact as they bike together. Noted for its ease of use, the seat takes just a few minutes to install and remove, and it is equally easy and safe to load and unload the child from the seat. Providing plenty of clearance for the knees so that the adult can bike with ease, the seat is positioned so that it is easy to maintain the center of gravity. This adaptable seat fits any adult bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches of clearance on the handlebar stem. The iBert Safe-T seat was developed after its creators became frustrated with the available bike seat options for children. They found that bike trailers kept their kids uncomfortably far away from them, got too hot in the sun, and only provided a limited view out to the children. The rear-mounted seats presented similar problems. The kids had a limited view and it was difficult to interact with them. Additionally, the balance of the bike was off and it was not easy to load and unload the kids. Other front mounted seats were complicated to hook onto the bike and difficult to remove. These seats also did not allow knee clearance for biking, and as a result were not comfortable. The iBert Safe-T seat offers a variety of safety and comfort advantages compared to other child bike seat options. The iBert Safe-T seat allows you to maintain control of the bike when loading and unloading your child. To load and unload the child, you simply straddle the bike and lift the child into or out of the seat. When using the iBert seat you can always see what your child is doing and you can make sure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. The center of gravity in the iBert seat is closer to the center of the bike making it easier to control the bike as you ride. The seat sits higher on the bike and is smooth on the bottom so that even tall riders rarely brush the bottom of the seat with their knees and if they do they just glide along the smooth edges on the bottom. The iBert Safe-T seat is easy to install. The patented stinger assembly attaches to any bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches on the handle bar stem. The stinger system attaches to the bike in just two minutes and the seat can then be attached and detached from the stinger in 15 seconds. If you buy additional stinger assemblies the seat can be attached to multiple bikes. The iBert Safe-T seat is made in the U.S.A. with safety and quality as the main objectives. While the iBert Safe-T seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, at this time ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers not front mounted seats.

 I like it! July 24, 2008
I like this product. It might look a bit strange but it means your child can see where you are going, you can communicate and interact with your child safely without having to look behind. It was easy to fit but be warned you need at least 3/4" on the stem to fit it. This may be a problem on threadless headsets. Also if you have trigger gear shifts they may be tight to the edge of the child seat. I like it, my son likes it and if it fits your bike it's got to be better than a rear child seat.
Almost Perfect!!! July 24, 2008
I LOVE this product if only I had purchased it one year ago or even six months. The center of gravity of this seat is amazing!! I have a three and a half year old who weighs 33 pounds and is 40 inches tall. I bought this seat not sure if she was going to be too tall for it which unfortunately she is about an inch too tall we tried it out anyways we went on the trail around our house she absolutely loved it but her legs were crunched:( So we were kinda bummed but think that anyone with a smaller chld that loves to ride couldn't go wrong with this seat (unless your just riding uphill constantly) its fine for small hills and did great on the interurban trail. My child didn't want to stop riding we talked the whole ride which was nice she wasn't scared at all. I wish they made it just two inches longer in the legs.
 Love it! July 23, 2008
I got this for my 1 yr old son and we both love it! The seat was easy to install and easy to ride with. Great product.
easy to use July 22, 2008
This item is easy to install and the seat is quickly removable. We prefer having our toddler in front and the seat does not get in my way or make my bike hard to drive. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is the strap needs to be finessed to get it to stay over our toddlers shoulders. You will want them to wear a shirt that covers all of their shoulders and comes up to the bottom of the neck to avoid any chance of causing redness due to friction of the strap.
Great Seat but doesn't fit on every bike July 22, 2008
This is a great seat and a great concept!! Unfortunately, it doesn't fit my husband's bike very well (Raleigh Mountain Bike) as it won't allow him to shift gears when it's on. No amount of adjusting has solved the problem. However, it fits my women's Raleigh Hybrid bike great! I love being able to talk to my daughter while we're riding and her movements don't throw off my balance. My knees don't hit the seat and it's very easy to steer the bike with her on it. She LOVES riding in it!!!! Overall, great seat! Just wish it fit my husband's bike, too! Definitely recommend it to see if it fits your bike!
