Very good product

- Cédric, 9 March, 2023

The product fully meets my needs, or rather those of my 2-year-old offspring. The Yuba attachment system gives me a feeling of security, and it looks great. Wheelie good!

Perfectly easy and safe

- Aislinn, 1 March, 2023

I was pleasantly surprised at how much I use this because it is so easy. It’s bulky so it feels safe and that my son won’t get bashed around. So easy to use there is no reason not to. Well worth the extra to ensure you get a good one! A lot of support as it is so popular

Pros & Cons

Feels really safe when I’m strapping LO in
Light
Stupidly Easy to fit and remove
Can’t use panniers

Fine seat of good quality

- Jenny, 29 November, 2022

Fine seat with nice design. Good quality and easy to attach. Only downside is that you need a carrier on your bike to attach it. So you are (often) not ready if you bought this seat.

beautiful design & super quality

- Lena, 20 April, 2022

This is an absolutely recommendable bike seat, it is super light, logically put together and quickly mounted. I have a frame size of 27.5 and it sits perfectly on my bike. Thanks to the holes in the backrest, the child has a high level of comfort in the summer (and also in this way). All in all, you notice the good quality from the backrest to the smallest screw - TOP

efficient and compact packaging

A great child bike seat. I find it very practical that the seat can be removed in a few seconds without any effort and can be attached to another bike if necessary. Great product from Thule, gladly again

Good, but the fixing system isn't great.

- Sébastien, 23 March, 2022

On a vanmoof s3 bike, the saddle has to be raised 3 cm above the minimum to be able to attach the seat, so you have to be tall, over 1m80 to be able to ride it with the seat in place. The mark that indicates that the seat is properly fitted is hidden under the saddle, which is a shame, because if the seat isn't properly fitted you can't check it...

Pros & Cons

Quality materials
The bike's centre of gravity moves way back
The stitching on the bindings looks worryingly soft.

Comfortable and easy maintenance

- Kasia, 14 February, 2022

The material looks great: easy to clean, soft and comfortable. It is also easy to fix, but please check the bike type as we should have gone for a rack mounted option. Most importantly the LO enjoys her rides. I also believe that Mantel offers good price, even though they additionally charge for the delivery

Great chair!

- Erik, 28 June, 2021

Great seat, at first we couldn't get the seat to lock but that's because the quick-release fastener was too tight. Incidentally, it was clearly described in the booklet how many turns the lock had to be tightened.

- Micahel, 30 March, 2021

Love this elegant product and it is the only child seat on the market that will work with a Brompton! The harness is not as good as the one on RideAlong as it requires two hands to release.

Foot strap can be longer
Harness a bit hard to put on

Coolest bike seat

- U H, 16 March, 2021

Easy Fit Window can be mounted quickly, but unfortunately the distance to the saddle is not adjustable. I find it nicer than the successor and have already bought it for the second time for the new bike with Easy Fit option.

Tough, safe and good value for money.

- Guido, 15 March, 2021

Easy to assemble seat. Very safe and it looks very cool. The only disadvantage I found is that the key does not come out easily. You can solve this by tightening or loosening the seat. However, you don't want any losses and tighter is not easy for everyone.

Easy to mount

Safe
Key is a bit difficult to take out.

Handy and sturdy seat

- Patrick, 3 February, 2021

Very easy seat on which both my five-year-old daughter, and my two-year-old son fit. Adjusting the footrests and straps is a snap. While cycling, you have no impact of the seat on the handling of your bike. It is very robust and sturdy and also beautiful! Very nice range of colours. Highly recommended

Excellent quality

- Emma, 14 December, 2020

Bought this set for the four year old boy I mind.He was looking a little big for his buggy but the journey to Montessori was too far for him to walk. This seat is perfect. He looks comfortable and now really enjoys his journeys. He has even asked me to come on a Sunday so we can go on a cycle. The only thing that bothered me was that there is no rain cover to protect him from bad weather and the foot straps can be a little tricky.

Pros & Cons

Comfortable
Looks good
Sturdy
Foot straps are a little difficult
No rain cover for child

Great product and fast delivery

- Snorri, 3 November, 2020

It is a great chair and the easyfit system works good. I bought the adapter to match, but in away regret not getting the tule easyfit cargo rack. Also, i purchased this for a mens bike, beware its not possible to swing your leg over the saddle with the chair on and more flexibility is required to get on the bike.

Pros & Cons

Comes in cool colors
Easy to fit to bike
The child is comfortable and likes the chair
Chair wiggles a little in the easyfit fastner

5 / 5

Overall very good, comfort could be improved

- Ellen, 1 November, 2020

The seat is great and thanks to EasyFit it could be mounted very quickly on my cargo bike. However, it would be great if Yepp could develop a suspension seat with a reclining function with this adapter, similar to the Hamax Caress. My daughter wants for nothing in the Yepp Maxi.

Pros & Cons

good closing foot straps
quick assembly
very good harness system, height adjustable
no armrests
no reclining function
no suspension
very upright sitting position

My kid loves it

- Blake, 10 August, 2020

Amazing bike seat my kid absolutely loves it, he is 15kg and finds it comfortable on my Cube Aim Race 2019. Minimal bounce with the strong frame but enough to absorb shock on uneven ground. Quick and easy to fit but instructions could be better for those less experienced with hand tools. It is the best seat i've owned hands down.

Comfortable
Easy fit
Easy to clean
Safe
Strong
Instructions could be better
No rear light mounting point

My son loves it

- John-Michael, 16 July, 2020

Although not the newest version of the range, it's fantastic. Only one problem is that it doesn't recline for sleeping toddlers. I found out the other day that my son was folded like origami. Other than that this product is spot on.

Pros & Cons

Rubberised and doesn't stretch the walls
Washable
Doesn't recline
No side protection if the bike was to topple over.

A simple comfortable childseat

- James, 1 July, 2020

We bought this child seat because we have a bike which is specifically designed to accommodate the easy-fit system, but we are very happy with it. The moulded foam plastic is quite soft and surprisingly supple so it looks very comfortable. Our son is quite small but we were able to adjust the leg braces and straps to get a really good fit. We have only done 2 rides but the passenger seemed very happy. I would love it if they could find a way to make the seat recline because our son tends to fall asleep in his trailer on longer rides and I worry about him sleeping in this seat. The seat is very easy to install, remove and lock in place. It has good reflectors on the back and is surprisingly light to carry.

Pros & Cons

Adjustable
Comfortable
Light weight
Doesn't recline

My 18month year old loves this seat

- Al, 28 June, 2020

Very happy with the seat. Have attached mine to a pannier rack (using the easy fit adapter). The seat itself is very easy to take on and off once the adapter was on, and feels very sturdy. My (probably slightly taller than average) 18 month year old loves going out on the bike with it and has loads of room to grow into it. We’ve been out for a number of rides now the longest of which he was in the seat for circa 1.5hours and didn’t seem to get uncomfy including when we went over a cobbled section. The straps seem secure but yet not uncomfy for him so piece of mind for me! My only slight suggestion for improvement with it is to have a eye or adapter to fit a light to on the back of the seat (But I have got one on my rack so not the end of the world)

Pros & Cons

Can put a child in it
Comfy
Easy to take on/off
Sturdy
No light fitting

We are so pleased with our new Yepp Maxi post mounted child seat. It takes about 30 to 40 mins to assemble and fit to the bike (mind the screw mounts for where an upright water bottle holder might be) Our 14month old sits in it comfortably. Would recommend to anyone who wants a comfy baby seat for warmer climates.

very light, sturdy and safe.

- Andrejus, 13 May, 2020

Used standard seat before, which sits on back rack. It was all wobbly itself, making bike completely off balance, centre of weight shifted to back wheel, thus very difficult to control. Felt very unsafe. Now my new Yepp Maxi (frame-mounted) makes it feel like seat is part of bicycle, completely blending with frame. There is little to none weight shift, no wobble at all. Feels very safe when making turns and/or cycling on uneven surfaces. Installation quite simple, spent 30 minutes or so. Tool included, found my own shorter Allen key easier to use. Seat is easy to take off the bike when not needed, and simple to put back on. Bracket itself is quite heavy, but that pays of on sturdiness of construction. Seat itself is very very light. Also good looking. Good width straps, simple to lock/unlock buckle. This thing is definitely designed by people who understand cyclists requirements. Very happy with the buy.

Easy to take it off and back on the bracket

Bought the Yepp Maxi on and Internet recommendation for my wife's Bobbin. Opened the box and set all up in a matter of minutes. Would not hesitate to get another, when it expires, but can't see it being anytime soon!
