Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Topeak Baby Bike Seat is the only child bike seat on the market offering a full suspension system to absorb road shock and ensure a smooth ride for your child. The Topeak Baby Seat includes a lightweight, yet heavy-duty aluminum Rear Bike Rack so that the bike seat can be mounted easily on bikes. Whether you are navigating city streets, riding trails, or cruising back and forth from the beach or playground, the Topeak Baby Bike Seat offers the most comfortable and secure ride on the market.

The Topeak Baby Bike Seat is designed to cradle small children, up to 40 pounds in a full-body, protective cocoon shell of molded engineered plastic. With a suspension base with two stainless steel springs, and spring barrels, bumps are absorbed by the seat base rather than the baby, keeping him or her comfortable, happy, and injury free. The molded, plastic shell interior is also padded for additional comfort and cushioning. The seat has a 4-way safety harness with a quick-release buckle, an adjustable footrest with safety straps, and a quick-release, padded safety bar. The seat and the rear rack have reflector for visibility and additional safety on the road.

Easy to use, the Topeak Baby Bike Seat attaches rapidly and securely to the aluminum bike rack with locking dual safety latches. The rack is made of solid yet lightweight die-cast aluminum capable of supporting the Baby Seat with a child up to 40 pounds. With the quick latching system, the seat can be easily removed from the bike and switched between bikes with an additional rear bike rack.

5.0 out of 5 stars We really like this carrier!!!!, September 14, 2006

By	A. Bucci (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We have had this carrier for a month now and use it frequently and really like it.

The box and instructions suggest that your professional bike shop install this carrier and we would agree. Due to our distance to a bike shop, we ended up installing it ourselves and it was tricky. We did call a bike shop for guidance and did get it on ourselves. But if you can get free installation, we would recommend you take advantage of it.

If you are curious about the installation, you can go to the Topeak website and download the installation guide/owner's manual and see if you are up to the challenge.

Also, it would be good to read about installation before buying because this bracket will only mount to certain bikes. It is designed for bikes with seatstay rack mounts and dropout eyelets only. They also warn that it cannot be used with bikes with rear suspension or disc brakes. My husband has a Trek aluminum frame mountain bike and it does work on his bike. Again, this would be a good reason to talk to someone at a bike shop before buying.

After installation, using this carrier has been great. The carrier comes in three parts. There is a bracket that is mounted on the bike and the baby seat that can be easily removed and stored when not in use. The third part is a slide lock that attaches the baby seat to the bracket.

Our 21 month old child seems very comfortable in the carrier and it is great to use.

Our only complaint is that the Grab bar in front is tough to snap off/on. So we always just leave it on and slide our child in and out behind it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great bike seat, August 20, 2008

By	Mark - See all my reviews

Our daughter is three and a half years old and we have used this bike for over two years -- ever since she was safe riding in it. She loves it. We have taken her on long bike trips and on short rides to the neighborhood playground, on flat asphalt roads and on bumpy gravel rides. The seat does not interfere with riding -- there are even straps to secure her feet. It is exceptionally sturdy and sits very firmly on the back of the bike. The rack was a bit tricky to attach, but once in place it has stayed firm and secure all this time with no adjustments required -- we never once had to worry about it getting loose or wobbly. The rack-seat configuration is convenient because it allowed us to buy extra Topeak racks (which are inexpensive) and move the seat from one bike to another with no effort. We even got an extra rack for our in-laws when our daughter stayed with them -- she had a great time riding with them in her seat. And, once you no longer need the seat, you still have a great, solid rack on your bike to use. I have noticed that a lot of parents in our neighborhood ride with this seat. After heavy use, the seat is still in great condition -- a little bit of lining got loose, but that was fixed in no time with a little glue. So, very happy with the product, no complaints, but a few words of caution -- you must buy a kickstand for your bike, and you must always hold on to the bike when your child is in the seat.
