    Product Description
    The WeeRide Kangaroo child seat offers an innovative riding position so the child is visible at all times and can be heard and attended to more easily. The child is provided with a more interesting view, and the weight distribution actually works to enhance the bicycle's stability. All in all, it offers enhanced safety and a more comfortable, enjoyable ride for the child.

    Amazon.com Product Description
    The WeeRide Kangaroo center-mounted bike seat offers an award-winning design that makes biking with your child much safer and much more fun. It's installed onto virtually any bicycle via a patent pending, independent steel support bar that attaches between the front handle bar tube and the seat post. It provides a much more enjoyable and interactive experience for the child and rider. Your child's needs can be heard, seen and attended to more easily, and he or she has a more interesting view--no more staring at someone's back. Other advantages include no dangling arms or legs to reach wheels and the rear of the bike is free to carry your gear.

    The seat is made from an injection-molded plastic form, and it features a comfortable padded foam seat, height adjustable foot cups, and a fully adjustable three-point security harness. The Padded pedestal armrest sitting atop the handlebars gives children somewhere comfortable to put their hands, and can serve as a headrest for the napping toddler.

    The steel support bar is an independent support system that does not interfere with brake cables or other attached bicycle gear. It includes different sizes of plastic spacers for the front yoke attachment and rear seat post to protect the posts and ensure it fits on almost any recreational bicycle available. It's easily removable for when you want to ride on your own.

    It can be used with mountain/city bikes with upright handlebars (with drop-handled racing handlebars, the rider leans forward too much for the child to sit comfortably). Children should be at least 1 year old, and it has a maximum weight capacity of 40 pounds. This bike seat is designed for casual riding on smooth, flat, paved and dry surfaces free of sand, gravel or dirt.

    5 out of 5 stars great product   October 1, 2008
    S. Giloppe (NYC)
    This is so much better than riding with your child behind you. Improved balance, better view for him and better communication as well.

    Fits well my 3 yrs daughter. I would recommand this to anybody interested in buying a child seat. Just don't do the same mistake than me, the seat come with the mouting bar, you don't have to buy it separatly.



    2 out of 5 stars Very interested, but is it logistical   September 23, 2008
    Amazon Queen (Central California)
    I was very interested in purchasing one of these for my then infant so that I could see him while riding bikes with the rest of the family, but I tried one before buying and, being short in stature (I'm 5'2"), my legs kept hitting the foot rests of the seat and we kept having to play head tango. It's a swell idea, but not for those of the shorter variety.


    5 out of 5 stars Weeride seat   September 16, 2008
    nicole (atlanta,ga)
    great seat...love having my son in front with me i think it is better for safety reasons...also feels better with balance/weight when your riding your bicycle...i wish i had one of these for my other 2 children.


    5 out of 5 stars As Listed. Very useful to carry Toddlers and Pre Kindergarden Child.   September 13, 2008
    C. Gabat
    Exactly as listed. Works wonderful. Very fun and intimate way to share the fun of riding with your young child. With an additional easy to find child seat on the back, you would be able to carry 2 kids on you bicycle. Only issue you will need to adjust outward your knees as you pedal to keep from hitting the child seat. Also will need to adjust how you mount the bike. You will need to mount from the rear of the bike. Free Shipping was a big plus from this vendor!


    4 out of 5 stars Weerider is alot of fun!   September 7, 2008
    S. Hansen (San Diego, CA USA)
    Easy to install product and take on and off bike, also an extra bar makes switching between my husband and I fast and easy. The mounting bar is a stable base for the seat. My son enjoys being between our arms. He does reach down and play with the brake cables, gear shifter, and handle bars. He is 24 pounds so hopefully he will get over this curious stage. He also fell asleep once and ended up resting his head on my arm which got uncomfortable. We have to widen our legs slightly when peddling and my son loves to put his hands on my knees to help me peddle. We love the closeness though so we love the weerider. I thought of making a cloth sound activity center to go over the front rest to keep him stimulated when the ride gets boring. This would be a nice add on.
