Comments about Topeak BabySeat with MTX Disc Bike Rack:

Best option available for a rear child bike seat after a lot of research/testing.
Great modular system to also be able to carry bags when not carrying the seat and kid.
Very sturdy. Very protective (almost encapsulates the child).
Easy on and off for storage (I put it on and take it off for every ride, and its never cumbersome; takes 30 seconds.
Great flexibility for child size. Has been in use from 1-3 years old, and still some room to grow.

Comments about Topeak BabySeat with MTX Disc Bike Rack:

This is a great alternative to a bulky bike trailer. My daughter loved riding right next to us. It was easy to use and safe. The one review is frustrating because it is not about this specific product it is about their own personal problems with a child's bike seat in general. They truly should have bought a trailer.

Comments about Topeak BabySeat with MTX Disc Bike Rack:

We bought a Topeak a few years ago to carry our first child. We never fell in love with it- it made the bike really top-heavy and hard to mount/dismount, but it worked fine and we stuck with it.

The problem is that now our first child is riding on his own and we use the Topeak to carry our second. It's pretty sketchy when only one parent is around since the Topeak makes it very difficult to react quickly to a problem since you can just jump off the bike. Just today we were crossing a street and my son had a pretty serious fall. It took me way too long to safely dismount and then find a place where I could safely lay the bike down (my daughter still strapped into the Topeak and very unhappy about the situation) before I could go back and help my son.

We're going to retire it and look for another solution. We really, really wish we would have invested in a trailer instead. To be fair it's a well made piece of gear; it's just a bad idea overall.

Comments about Topeak BabySeat with MTX Disc Bike Rack:

I use it for my very tall 2 1/2 year old. I haven't had a problem with mounting/dismounting the bike, nor with toppling over (thankfully!) Just 2 complaints: I had to bring it in to be installed because it barely fit my bike (apparently they don't sell the non-disk mount at my store) and second is that I nearly rip off a finger when I go to unfasten the seat from my bike - which I guess is a good sign that the seat is very secure I suppose :)

Comments about Topeak BabySeat with MTX Disc Bike Rack:

My daughter has been using this seat since she was 1 1/2 years old and now she is 2 1/2. We like how it is sturdy, secure, and how we are able to make adjustments to the seat as she grows. We decided to purchase this type of seat instead of a front-of-the-bike seat for safety reasons. We usually ride on designated bike trails and street trails and felt that if we fell over, then the seat will provide better protection on the sides. Also, when she falls asleep the sides of the seat give her a place to rest her head.

One disadvantage about this seat is that it is a chore to put on the bike, so we never take it off. Its just a small inconvenience but overall a great buy.
