Handy chair which is fairly easy to disassemble.

- Linda, 28 May, 2023

Handy seat in our case for the electric bike. Since I often use the bike for work and only take the kids on the back on weekends if necessary and on vacations, I find it very handy that once mounted it is fairly easy to put on and take off. This way I can easily put my pannier on during the week and the seat on the weekend.

Pros & Cons

Fairly easy to take off in between
Not with nicest model
You have to get the hang of it

Very good chair, but difficult to put in place.

- Camilla, 3 May, 2023

A very good and robust chair, but very complicated and time consuming to mount on the bike, and some parts did not fit, but the chair could be mounted in place firmly, anyway.

Pros & Cons

Clear instructions and pictures in the manual
Good quality of the chair and all parts
Robust product
Safe and sturdy device
The chair is firmly attached
Chair is heavy
Difficult to attach to the bike.
Some parts were barely attachable to the bike
Too many loose parts, too much screwing to do

Good seat for big kids

- Tom, 10 January, 2023

I'm very happy with this seat for my 6-year-old daughter, who also really likes it. The luggage rack is very practical for schoolbags, for example. On the other hand, I sometimes touch the stays with my feet while pedaling (rockrider 500 M frame).

Pros & Cons

luggage rack
sturdiness
bulky on a small bike
weight

- Matti, 6 April, 2022

Makes a robust impression, easy to use.

Pros & Cons

compact
easy assembly
robust

Practical, compact and light.

- Marta, 28 October, 2021

We like it and and it is practical. It would be brilliant to have arm rest but not a problem. The only downside is that there is no place to fit a light at the back for when it gets dark.

Pros & Cons

Compact
Not bulky
Sleek
No arm rest
No place where to put bicycle light

Smooth and good, and definitely worth the money.

- Funkispappan, 7 April, 2021

Great for taking your child on a bike, even when they have outgrown the traditional bike seat.

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble
Stable
Not retractable footrests

Good with small flaws

- Philipp, 26 March, 2021

The seat is great, but it is difficult to set up with a carrier, the seat "hangs" and is only loosely attached to the saddle, but does not form a 90 degree angle. This only comes about through the lateral supports, a large part of the weight is also on these, instead of on the attachment to the saddle. I don't think that's so good. I removed the luggage carrier, otherwise the seat rests on it or bangs on it again and again. The problem could have been solved by a slightly different construction. The footrests are also not foldable and thus widen the rear of the bike. This could also be solved more elegantly. Otherwise a great seat!

Pros & Cons

For big children
Stable
Body with luggage carrier
Footrests not foldable

Nice but missing a couple of refinements

- Philip, 5 October, 2020

This is a simple, easy to fit bike for slightly older kids (5 upwards). Took about 30 mins to fit with a wee bit of fiddling, and I found it to be really robust once fitted. Only thing missing is something for the child to hang onto - a small handle at the front would be great.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit
Needs handlebar

4 / 5

Good, functional and safe

- Patrik, 13 September, 2020

The chair works well and feels safe, with a footrest, seat belt and protection to prevent, for example, a foot getting into the tyre. It is also good that the chair can be folded and that there is a small fold-out shelf at the back, which works well for a backpack, for example. The only negative is that it is somewhat complicated to install and that the front mount does not fit all bikes, for example depending on the design of the luggage rack. But that could be solved and the chair works well overall.

Pros & Cons

Functional
Practical
Safe
Somewhat complicated to assemble

Good product

- sabrina, 27 July, 2020

satisfied good quality, comfortable but we didn't try it over a long distance. It's a shame that the footrests don't fold up because they're quite rough when you rub against them. I'd also like to know if there's a 3-point harness that can be fitted to it, as the belt is a bit light for my 5-year-old. I'd advise tightening the fasteners because my 7 year old daughter slipped when she got on it and the mudguard rubbed on the tyre.

Pros & Cons

AESTHETICS
comfortable
FOLDABLE
WHEEL PROTECTOR
NO 3-POINT HARNESS (5 YEAR OLD)
NON-RETRACTABLE FOOTREST

A good seat for older kids.

- Tom, 28 November, 2019

The seat is pretty easy to install, but it definitely needs to be very well tightened or it will slip when in use. Once it's on there properly, it doesn't shift and is a great option for older kids. You'll have to get used to balancing though- not always easy!

Pros & Cons

Foldable
Not too heavy
secure
Strong
needs well tightened
Seatbelt can catch in wheels

Good Seat, but heavy.

Very good product

- Donncha, 6 March, 2018

This is a very good product and relatively easy to assemble. My only negative would be the seat belt. If you left unstrapped by mistake it could cause a serious accident by going into the spokes. I would prefer if it was a harness belt instead

Pros & Cons

Easy to assemble
Folding option
Quality product
Seat belt

Handy but needs foot protection plates

- Gráinne, 12 February, 2017

Service from Mantel was excellent. Seat arrived promptly and well packaged. It's a very handy commuter seat. Not at all heavy & folds up flat when not in use. The only issue I have with it is that my son got his foot stuck in the spokes day 2; shoe came off and it blistered his heel - quite serious really. I'm finding it very difficult to source the foot protection plates, that go with this seat.

Pros & Cons

Can use as carrier when not as seat
Neat - folds up
Son loves it!
Assembly/ fitting instructions poor (utube it)
Danger of feet getting stuck in wheel spokes
Foot protection plates difficult to source

My little girl loves it.

- Vanessa, 17 January, 2017

We do indeed like the seat. Would like the option of over the shoulder straps as going from a seat with arm rests to nothing is a little different and feels less safe. Tried to get tge straps but it isn't an option on a junior Bo bike so as a parent slightly annoyed you don't have the option and puzzled why there are holes for straps but my daughter loves it as she feels more grown up.

Pros & Cons

Daughter likes feeling grown up
Love the fact it folds down when not in use
Belt across feels flimsy
No straps avail although there is holes for them
