Great find for a special needs child.
This bike seat is really a lifesaver! Our special needs child is 4 years old and not yet sufficiently coordinated to ride a bike or tricycle on his own. This is wonderful way to include him in a bike ride where he can "see" and be a part of the cycling experience from a biker's perspective. It is easier for me to bike with him in this seat than to pull him in a child's bike trailer. It works with our adult bikes and with our adult beach cruiser tricycle. Instructions are not included so if you need help - let me know! I figured it out from other purchaser's photos...but it does take a little ingenuity to make it work.

Seat blocks riders legs from pedaling
This product does not come with instructions. Most is self explanatory aside from the small plastic box that the base screws into, you can remove the lid (by unscrewing the single smaller screw). Once you take the backing off, you’ll see the backing for each screw. Took me a while to figure this out. The seat itself is a good design but it did not fit on my Electra beach cruiser. I was unable to pedal - my knees bumping into the seat.

Works pretty well for older toddler
This bike seat works pretty well for what I needed it for - which was a way to bring my small (24lb) 2.5 year-old toddler along on bike rides with the rest of the family. He has a strider bike, but he can't keep up with the rest of us if we go for a 'real' bike ride. So this seat is perfect for that use. He loves sitting in front on my bike - makes him feel like he's actually bike-riding. The seat says it goes up to a pretty high weight limit, so we may get a couple of years of use out of it.I purchased this particular seat because I wanted a lower-profile, front-mounted seat that wouldn't attach to the steering column (not enough room to safely attach a seat on my bike). This seat was cheaper than most, but also small enough that I was hoping it wouldn't get much in the way while I'm pedaling. It basically fits all of those criteria. (Doesn't get too much in the way of my legs while pedaling, but my knees do rub a little bit. The edges of the seat are smooth, so its not bad with long pants on. And the seat could be mounted a little higher than where I placed it, which might help. I chose to rest it on the middle bar of my bike for added weight support, but it could be attached higher).That being said, it is probably not the safest seat, as there is no seatbelt, just a loose 'strap' across the front. And the footrests do not have straps to keep kiddo's feet in place, so you need a pretty reliable toddler to make sure their feet stay put. It will NOT work for an infant, but you can probably tell that from the photos. It also has a relatively flimsy attachment of the seat to the base - basically the 2 poles under the seat just fit into the base attachment, and there is a small metal pin that slides into place on one of the poles, to help keep the seat in place. I suspect none of that would hold up extremely well in a big crash. That being said, it's a nice in-between compared to the bulkier front-mount seats that get more in the way of pedaling versus the front-mount seats with no strap whatsoever (the ones where the child is basically just perched on a seat in front of the parent).I attached a photo of what it looks like on my bike, because there are very few photos available online of this seat actually ON a bike!As others have said, it is true that it comes with NO instructions, but it does come with all the parts AND tools you need; and if you look at all the pieces before you put them all together, then it isn't too bad to put together. You will probably need to look closely at some online pictures as well.It is nice that the base stays put and the seat can be easily taken off if you are bike-riding without your child.Bottom line: front-mounted, but not to steering column; lower profile; higher weight cut-off; seat can be removed quickly without removing the base; not a lot of safety features; no instructions. If that fits your criteria, this seat will work well for you.

GREAT IDEA! Unfortunately very low Quality product.
I like the idea of this product. We bought it because we have a 3-year old that enjoys bike riding but unfortunately he is too young and unable to keep up in his little tricycle. I bought this product with the idea of us riding our mountain bikes while he is enjoying the ride with us. With that said, It would have solved our issue only if the product would have worked properly. Right out of the box, IT HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS. I looked at the pictures of it and guided myself to put it together using those images. Even on the images you have to be careful not to put the bars outside the base of the seat that connects to the bike's seat bar as shown in the pictures as that will not line up. Attach them on the inside. 2nd issue: The clip as shown in pic one was broken right out of the box... that clip prevents the bars from coming off the base that attaches to the bicycle's seat bar... you could use something else to clip it but... you should not have to be a macgyver and have to figure it out. 3rd issue: When installing the base to your bicycle, there are four bolts with nuts that you have to take off, adjust to the seat bar, attach, and set back up. The bolt would not come out as it was stuck... had to improvise and use tools to get it out... (picture 2). 4th issue: The bolt would not come out because the nut was stripped inside the molded plastic retainer. The plastic in that area is so weak that you can scratch it with minimal force, even with your nail (picture 3). So in conclusion, sorry to say this but DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT, too much hassle to install, bad overall quality, and I almost forgot... If you are not petite, this product will not work assuming the quality was better and you were able to install it with no issues. It is so bulky that you really have to move as far back as you can on your own seat in order to be able to pedal the bike... so it is very uncomfortable. Hope this review helps.

for a 40 pound 2 year old boy
skeptical at first due to the lack of reviews but I went to buy it anyways because the description said that it can hold up to 60 pounds and I just can't find that claim other products.Installed in about 40 minutes. the instructions were poor but you will easily figure it out. the connector of this seat to the bike is attached to the frame of the bike unlike other products where they are attached to the seat posts or the steering.I probably had 3 couples asked me where I bought it on the first day we tried it in the park.the only negative of this kind of child seat is that you cant really pedal fast, which I don't think you should anyways, because you will have to spread your legs while pedaling. but then, you can easily disengage it if you want to ride alone.
