Doubtful

- Marieke, 25 May, 2023

I find the whole thing quite heavy, especially the bracket. In our case for e bike no problem. On the mtb it is the extra kilos that really matter. The frame mounting block could have used some stiff and resilient material and longer bolts. The diameter frame tube mount is limited. The block slides down over frame when cycling Does not clamp because seems hard plastic on smooth metal. Oval shape of frame of our e bike is not mentioned in manual. Only triangle or square frames are not allowed. Round is. ..but oval?

Pros & Cons

Seat folds down, can also be a bag
Weight child on frame, instead of on luggage carrier which to
Heavy block for mounting
Heavy bracket
Limited diameter tube mounting, too small mounting

Not compatible with all luggage carriers. But with flat, not too wide models.

- Katelijne, 24 September, 2021

I bought this seat because I often travel with a suitcase on my back, and with a normal seat the suitcase always bumps into the seat. The attachment was not compatible with the standard carrier of my Gazelle Medeo (raised rim under saddle):. so it had to come off to attach the seat. The attachment is done on the frame. First we used the ABS bracket, but it broke the first time we used it with a 17 kg daughter. Presumably the screw was not tightened enough? The design of this long bracket could be better, and in better material. Anyway: exciting moment when the seat suddenly hung loose while cycling - it didn't fall off, but kept 'dangling'. We then reattached it without the long bracket, tightened very firmly, which also damaged the paint on the bike. Seems sturdier now. Pannier can only be attached in closed position (narrow carriers, so my bag always jumps up!), but once unfolded your pannier has to be put somewhere else: you can unfold the carrying handle to the back, but according to the description it can only carry 1 kilo. Good for light school bag, but not for my standard pannier with big lock and mackintosh. As I had to remove my standard bike carrier, I don't immediately have another option. Possibly a (not too wide) pannier could do with a more standard carrier. When the pannier can easily be placed over your carrier, installation does not seem complicated to me. Pictures are small and vague, though. Legs not collapsible, which doesn't bother me that much. Foot protection hangs over the bike's small lock: so a little bit of a hassle when securing the bike, but not too bad because the mudguards do fold a bit. Great concept, but with a few important points of attention. Tightening very, very firmly is one of them. Putting the hooks on the lower fasteners in the right position too. (Is unclear in description, but we did).

Pros & Cons

foldable, so handy when travelling without a child
light bicycle bag possible
does not fit over all racks
large bracket broke off during first use
mudguards come over wheel lock
