iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle Seat

Product Description

Easy and safer loading and unloading of the child, enclosed leg wells for comfort and safety, seat fits most children four years old and younger.

How well you will like this seat depends on your particular bike frame. Some people don't have the same problems that I have. I recommend going to a bike shop that sells them if you can and try it on your bike. I personally feel it's only worth buying if you already have a rear mounted bike seat and need a front one because you have 2 little kids.

PROS:
* People like the seat and you will get lots of attention
* The seat is super easy to install and remove if you want to bike without the seat.
* The baby has an unobstructed view.
* It's easy to steer and handle the bike even though it doesn't look like it would be

CONS
1. For me personally, it makes me feel claustrophobic. I'm 5'7" and have a cruiser type bike. My knees hit the seat unless I open my legs a little. It's manageable but annoying and not good for long rides.

2. You have to keep your seat low so that you can touch the ground at stop signs. I can't get off my seat and straddle the bike because the ibert is in the way. This makes it more work to pedal.

3. The seat is overpriced. It is cheaply made of plastic with no padding for the child.

4. The back of the seat is too low so the child can't lean back and sleep. Why not just make it taller??

5. The seat wobbles a bit.

6. The seat belt is very cheap and flimsy. It's not like a regular stroller harness. It's hard to describe but all I know is I can't get it to stay on my baby's shoulders right.




followed the reviews and bought this seat. How could so many people be wrong? They weren't! My 12 month old daughter wasn't quite sure about it on the first ride, no tears but no smiles either, I think she was taking it all in. But now she points to my bike and the seat everytime she sees it and wants to go for a ride. She pulls the green bar down over her lap before I can and stays really still while I put her helmet on. This seat is going to make our summer so much fun!!

It is so easy to manuver the bike with it on, it doesn't effect the riders vision, and my knees aren't bothered either. I highly recommend it!

I guess if I had to come up with a negative thought it would be that when my daughter gets sleepy, her head begins to rest on one of my arms.



Our son loves this bike seat! The only issue is that it did not come with the pad, apparently we got sent an older version.


This is a fantastic product! My daughter LOVES going for bike rides, pointing out every mailbox, fire hydrant, tree, etc. that she sees and looking up at mommy for acknowledgement! I can actually converse with her and keep an eye on her. It's such a great bonding experience as well. And the bike is so easy to handle with the seat attached. We're looking forward to warmer weather so we can make full use of it!!


I absolutely love this seat! I read all the reviews on so many seats and am positive I chose the right one. It was extremely easy and fast to attach to my bike and is quick and easy to take off if you need to. (Unlike the seats that attach in the rear.) I have no problem seeing over my one year old's head with a helmet and have no problem steering. It is actually easier to ride him in the front than the back and he sits longer since he has a great view! My son loves this seat and so do I. I would buy it over and over again. Well worth every penny!


I was skeptical at first but after reading all these reviews I was able to convince my wife that this is a safe and enjoyable way for me to take our 20-month old son out on my bike. I researched bike trailers for a months but none of them seemed appealing to me (the ride would seem so detached).

Anyway, when this arrived, I couldn't wait to install it. Even though I had to make a few adjustments to my handlebars, it still only took me a few minutes to get this seat on.

I've used this every day I can and both my son and I love our time together on my bike. It's a great way for us to bond and we play "i-spy" while we're riding. With the weather slowly getting nicer, I'm really looking forward to taking him on rides at various parks in the area.

I only wish I bought this sooner since I think I only have this summer left before he outgrows it. Next year will be my daughter's turn with me!


I was skeptical when I saw the picture of this seat because it didn't seem sturdy enough. However, after extensive reviews and even a video I found online, I went ahead and purchased the seat. WOW. I love it - my son is 2 years old and about 28 lbs and he LOVES it. We get "Wow" and "Awesome" when we ride it in town. I feel that the way the seat is mounted on the steering column makes this a sturdy choice that helps to control the excess weight (i.e. the child!) and prevents it from tipping out of control. The bicycle shop told me condescendingly that these are "unsafe" but after reading the reviews, I felt the rear mounted ones would be more of a hazard for me for balance and tipping. I didn't take their advice (of course they told me it was unsafe b/c they only sold rear mounted seats) and I went with the parents' reviews on amazon and I was so pleased with the purchase. The only complaint I have is the straps - they can fall off the child's shoulders but if you have a velcro belt or any adjustable belt, and fasten the two straps by the child's shoulder blades, it works perfectly well. I love that I can interact with my son, and that I can see exactly what he is up to. Great product!


I have tried many seats but they have never worked on my bike, not only does this one work, but it was so easy to put on and my daughter loves it. I never thought it would be so easy and successful.


It's great , just make sure that your baby will be up for a while, it's a bit uncomfortable if falls asleep on the chair.


I loved this my son hated the bike seat you attach to the back all he could see was my back also we could not talk back and forth like the Ibert. My son outgrew this and I will miss riding him around it was so nive being able to point stuff out to him. The only draw back was the pin you secure the seat on with it wa so hard to get on and off. But is was so worth it. before purchasing this we had the weeride(cheaper). thats what made me want to try this, it looked like it would work better the adult has more room with the ibert. This product is soo much better. You would think steering would be a problem but is was not also the bike was steadier than with the back mounted seats that want to tip over. if you are not sure buy it and try it.
