 Does not fit "virtually any" bike, as claimed. July 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I was very disappointed to find that this seat does not fit on either my wife's or my bicycle. Both are fairly standard off-the-bike-store-rack models. The company's misleading advertising states it fits virtually any bike. What it should say is that you must have at least 3/4"-1" of head tube extending above the top tube so that the front mounting clamp will fit without interfering with the headset bearings (steering mechanism.) My trek mountain bike has essentially no such space. My wife's Giant city/trail bike had a little more space due to the sloping "ladies" top tube, but the clamp still did not fit. Had I known this, I would not have wasted the shipping fees, and gotten a seat that fits.

May not fit every bike! It didn't fit ours! I didn't feel safe puting our daughter on the seat - it didn't offer much support for her. Plastic is very flexable!!! I returned it immediately!!!

This seat is awesome. As some reviewers have mentioned, you do have to bow your legs just slightly to ride with this seat, but unless you have your seat positioned completely incorrectly for proper riding, this is only a slight bowing and I would not consider it a flaw. The straps are a little big for my small 14-month-old daughter, but this only means that she will be able to enjoy it for a long time. It is much, much, MUCH safer than the back-mounted seats that throw your balance off, and my daughter can enjoy the wind in her face and fun sights. I think that this seat is wonderfly designed, but there is one IMPORTANT thing to consider: Many bikes now are not designed in a way that is compatible with this front mounting bracket. I bought a bike that I really liked, only to find that this is seat would not fit because the bar is welded too close to the steering column. I returned the bike (because the child seat was more important) and had to take the bracket with me to several merchants to find a bike that it would fit on. This seat will not work for all bikes styles or brands.
Father's delight! June 20, 2008
Purchased this carrier as a "Father's Day" gift for our son who has an outdoor-loving 2.5 year old. What a joy to watch Dad & Son tour our neighborhood together, with Dad's arms alongside Son, the two able to chat intimately as they ride around, ..... so safe, so secure, so very wonderful to deepen the special bond between Dad and Son.

I needed an extra seat for my almost 2 year old child. I loved the idea of this seat. I do have some complaints about it. Like anything else, videos that are provided about the product always seem easy in use. However, when I have received the item the 1st thing I notices is it would not fit on my mountain bike front mount. I made it fit, but the brackets on the Weeride were not designed for a wide neck of a bike. Pay attention on the bikes in the pictures. Second complaint I had is my child only 27lbs and I had troubles buckeling him around his legs. It was very tight. The front buckel kept snapping out of the oepning in the seat. Sort of unsafe. And the last problem with Weeride is that the feet rests were in the way of shocks on my bike. So, if you have a simple bike like on the pictures, it might be great fit, but mine is mountain bike with suspentions that just was a wrong fit.
Overall, it is a great seat if your child is tiny and it definately will not accomodate a child 30 or 40 lbs as it describes.
Try it, I guess.
