It takes some adjusting to get it correct but you talking about the safety of your child. Also for the parent it takes some getting used to the center of gravity change. Even with our child just under the weight it still made cycling no easy. Had to make own adjustment to straps.

Tried to install on three different bikes. Junk product

I spent hours putting this thing together - horrible instructions and many, many pieces - only to have the absolute last step not work - I couldn't get the seat onto the rack. I'm so frustrated and angry - I wasted a whole day and my 22 month old daughter was in tears because she wanted to ride with me. I will never buy another thing from this company!!!

We got this a two years ago for our 3yr old, its not too bad, actually when we first put it on, it says not to tighten all the screws all the way, until you are finished, we forgot to tighten the ones under the seat, thats why it was leaning, and quite scary. But now that we figured out the problem, its a really great seat, our daughter always wants to go for rides!!

we use it in our neighborhood, some dirt roads seems to bumpy for the trailer. The room inside is good but the seat itself is hard to adjust to make it tight enough for the kid to sit up. If more than one kid good luck... they keep sliding to the center no matter how tight you pull the straps, so they are mashed together. I would not buy this, too bad I can't return it. Check out the seats when you are shopping with your child.

The assembly/attachment to the bike was fairly simple, other than we had to attach the long lower brackets to the outside instead of the inside like the directions show, and it wouldn't fit my husband's bike. My 19-month-old daughter loves to ride in it, she had to go for a ride as soon as we got it together. My only real complaint is that the shoulder straps fall off no matter what. I don't know if she doesn't have enough shoulders to hold them or what, but I have tried tightening them and unless I make them so she cannot move her arms whatsoever, they still fall off her shoulders.

This seat is great and our 3 year old loves it! I agree with the statement that a movable handle bar would be easier for getting the child in and out. We have never had an issue with side to side movement other than our daughter swiveling from side to side in the seat to see what is around. Ours has an attachment at the seat post and two down to the frame. I use the seat on my mountain bike riding two tracks and nature preserve trails, nothing too extreme.

This seat works great for us. Our one year old loves it. He is a taller kid and the seat seems sturdy to me.

I agree with the review posted on July 2, 2008. this product is very unsafe. We attempted to put my 2 year old son in it (weighs 30 pounds) and like the other reviewer, found it was leaning to the side and looked and felt quite unstable and unsafe.

There is a reason this seat costs considerably less than the other bike seats! Don't waste your money on it, and certainly do not risk your child's safety.

My fiance put the seat together and it didn't take much time. It was very secure I thought. We decided to test the bike with a back pack in the seat of about 30 lbs. The seat went side to side as if it kept leaning. I put my son in the seat to go up my block maybe aboiut 20 feet. I felt like he was going to fall out! I jumped out of the bike, took him out and walked back home. This is not a safe seat and I do not recomend it.
It is screwed in but the bottom sides of the seat don't screw in and I think that was the problem.

We love it, got it in the store last fall and have used it many, many times. It's perfect except for the handle bar. I wish they had put it on a hinge to make putting the child in and taking them out easier.[...]
