Bell 1 2 3 Child Carrier with Toddler Helmet Review

This carrier does what it designed to do but it could use some improvement.First, it was no easy feat to assemble and I am pretty handy and follow diections well.Secondly, once the child is in, the belt assembly has to be slipped through slits to the back where a hook and loop fastener holds them together.I don't see where that is really very safe.In addition, the plastic guard under the seat has scrathced the back of my ankle several times and I have started riding with my foot more forward on the pedal than I normally would.Still, it does the job of carrying my 2 years on my bike, and he enjoys it.

Bell Gel Contour Bicycle Seat Cover Review

I just started out biking for exercise and health.I have an expensive road bike which I use as a "stationary" bike at home on a trainer.Unfortunately, the professional bike seat I have for my bicycle HURT like hell!!!My butt was NOT used to the pressure on my butt bones.I bought this gel pad and slipped it over my standard sized bike seat (not the big fat CRUISER bike seats, but a regular bicycle seat) and it fit like perfectly!)I have to second the "doofus" comment left by another here.You can tell by the picture alone that this bike seat cover will NOT fit over a wide seat typically seen on exercise bicycles or cruiser bicycles.It DOES fit an adult standard sized bicycle seat....Now, this pad will let my butt bones get used to biking and someday I won't even need it anymore - until then, it's comfortable biking for me!

Bell Cocoon Rack Mounted Bicycle Child Carrier Review

I purchased this child carrier last year and have nothing to complain about.The seat itself is not "wobbly", it is just flexible.No safety issues there.The screws do not come loose.I have taken off this child carrier at least a dozen times to ride solo and never had a problem with screws coming loose.Being a worry wart I check the screws everytime before riding with my 3-yr old daughter and they have never once been loose.My daughter loves sitting in the back.She can see just fine.I feel much more secure with this carrier than the ones that mount in front of you.Who hasn't had a bug, leaf, or small pebble come up and hit you in the face when riding?I sure am glad it happens to me and not my daughter.Also, God forbid we were to hit anything.What if we were to flip over?I sure wouldn't want to fall on top of my daughter.
Anyway, thought I might share my experiences/opinions.
I am truely happy with this and at the current price how could you lose.I paid forty dollars more for the same model.

Bell GelTech Ultimate Comfort Bicycle Seat Review

One of the metal springs broke in my bicycle seat so I bought the Bell GelTech as a replacement. I wasn't impressed.
* It's a very wide seat and quite short front to back. This apparently is the design for a larger, ahem, bottom. I'm an average sized guy and mine didn't fit very well.
* The seat feels great when you push your fingers in it. The gel feels nice and squishy. But...when you sit on it the comfort evaporates. After riding 6 miles on this seat it felt like I was sitting on a concrete slab with a little padding on it. I didn't think it was comfortable at all.
* Turn the seat over and you can see what looks like two large springs, one on each side. This would be great to cushion bumps. Unfortunately, they just "look" like springs. They're rubber disks and, yes, they do compress over bumps but they're nothing at all like springs. And you can really feel the bumps.
* Finally, the seat looks like it belongs on a circus bicycle. It's garish and ugly and people will point at you and laugh. Well, that may be a bit harsh. I was willing to live with the ugly looks if it worked. But it didn't.
I ended up buying a simple Schwinn "memory foam" model for about $17. It was the only Schwinn model my local store had. My guess is any of the Schwinn models would have been fine. The one I bought doesn't have springs either but it is much more comfortable than the Bell GelTech. And people have stopped laughing and pointing.

WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat Review

I wanted to get something for my ten month old so I could ride my bike while my three year old rides his.We have a trailer but I wanted to try a seat because I thought it would be easier than dragging the trailer out- especially just for riding slowly around the neighborhood with a three year old!
The front kind seemed like a good idea.The whole reason I bought a trailer in the first place was because I was afraid of my balance being thrown off with a bike seat.This front mounted seat is super for balance!I felt very comfortable with my daughter up front and she loved it!We just went for a test run around the block after installing it.
I was able to install in less than 20 mins with a 10 month old crawling around.So I'd say it was pretty easy.It's also very easy to remove the seat when you don't want it on your bike.
I was a little afraid of how my knees would hit the seat but I figured for the price I would just order it and give it a try and if it didn't work out I'd return it.
It's much better than I thought it would be.My knees don't really hit but I have to pedal in a way that I'm aware that the seats there.Not really a big deal, just something to get use to.
The seat does seem a little wobbly, not terribly so though, so not a huge deal.I may be able to adjust it to keep it from doing this.The seat was so easy to install I actually haven't read the manual yet...
Over all for the price you can't beat it.What a cool thing.
I just want to add that I recently went to our local hospital where they do helmet fittings to get a new helmet for my three year old and they wouldn't sell me one for my daughter until she's a year.The AAP doesn't recommend children ride in trailers or bike seats until a year.Trailers are also recommended over bike seats because the majority of accidents happen in bike seats.Although I would imagine that would be the back mounted type.It would be interesting to see a study about front mounted seats as they become more available.
Get this seat!Just be safe!

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.
