Best Bicycle Baby Carrier - Universal Stem, Seatpost & Rack Mounts - Safe & Comfortable Child Bike Seat for Outdoor Family Adventures

This was a second attempt at finding a bike seat that would fit my full suspension mountain bike. First try, was a handlebar mounted one and that was a no-go, due to interference with steering. Most rear mounted carriers were also obviously going to be problematic due to the configuration of my bike. But, this one worked like a charm. Easy to mount; easy to remove. Feels secure, yet has a bit of spring to it that probably makes the ride better for the child. Light weight. Secure harness. Easy to get the child in and out. I was a bit concerned that the body straps might not be secure enough. But, that turns out to not be an issue. The munchkin is well-secured and happy back there. Love the foot straps and the configuration around the foot/leg area. I really like the fact that the foot straps keep her feet inside a protected area; both from the standpoint of not wanting her to kick me in the back, but also from a safety standpoint. As mounted, she sits about at the same level as my seat, which works well. The carrier mounts high enough away from moving parts that I wasn't worried about her getting her feet in the works. But, I like side protection in terms of accident protection. I was convinced to try this particular model by an earlier review that mentioned the bike falling over with the child strapped in and that other than being startled, the child was fine in part because of the side leg protection.Looking for a negative, I do find that my inner thighs do rub against the clamp a bit. Someone with less girthy thighs might not have that issue. It's not enough to cause major abrasion, though I did initially have a few days of minor saddle soreness until the skin toughened up a bit. Basically, it's not annoying enough to interfere with my usual 16-30 mile rides, but I could see myself taking the mounting bracket off if I was going on a 50+ mile ride or taking an extended road trip without our toddler.Last, but certainly not least, she really likes riding back there.Super happy with the seat and I recommend it highly.
