Read More I bought this to take our 18 month daughter out on rides with us. I am extremely pleased with this product. This product anchors very well to the bike. I often have to check to see if the seat is still attached, I can hardly tell it's even there most of the time. The seat doesn't wobble and provides adequate protection for my daughter's feet from the spokes. The carrier also removes very easily if you need to use the bike independent of the extra rider. This is an excellent and durable product. I feel very safe having my children ride in this device. -

Read More Mind you - the box clearly states this seat is meant for children ages 3-6. However, when we were at REI, the "bike specialist" suggested this seat (it was out of the box) for our 6 month old infant. We spoke in great detail about our needs and decided on the purchase. Our little guy can hold his head up well, and is the size of a 9 month old baby...BIG BOY! The seat would have actually worked ok but the shoulder straps - even when tightened to the smallest length - were too big for our infant. We then realized that the seat was meant for older kids - the "bike specialist" sold us a seat we wouldn't be able to use for at least another year. We weren't comfortable rigging it to work and were concerned that it wouldnt be safe for an infant....even though the REI employee sold us this seat. If you are looking for a seat for an infant, get the Mini, or a trailer. We're returning this and I bought the Mini on [@].Frustrating REI service - but we may consider buying this seat in the future. -

Read More Please note there are actually TWO varieties of this seat- the one REI sells is the Yepp Maxi Standard, which attaches to your bike's seat tube. Note this seat is NOT COMPATIBLE with the Yepp Easyfit adapter! (for example, a Surly Big Dummy with appropriate adapter) If you have a bike with an Easyfit Adapter, you'll need the Yepp Maxi Easyfit which REI doesn't sell. The seat itself is the same between both products, and is very high quality. The seat itself is a soft rubbery material reinforced with steel tubes. No worries about durability. Both types of mounting hardware are also very solidly constructed. After exchanging for the right seat and taking our child for a ride, I can also say that functionally it works great. -

Read More I'm not sure what the other reviewer is talking about - this seat is easy to install, and remove from the bike. Perhaps they didn't understand the quick release feature and were remounting the whole thing each time? Anyway, once you know how, it's easy to remove the seat from the coupling that's permanently attached to the bike's frame. When attached, the seat is very secure. I have used both the Yepp mini (front mounted) and this seat. Both are wonderful, high quality and lovely to look at (compared to other seats). I ride with my son several times a week, and I get stopped almost every time with people asking me where I got the seat. It's not a big, grey monstrosity on the back of the bike - it's well made/engineered, easy to install and will last through several children. My only gripe is that I wish it came with a chest strap to secure the shoulder straps, but that can be remedied by a trip to the craft store for some webbing and an extra buckle. -

Read More This product is truly 2nd to none in the market. The design, fit and built of this seat feels and looks like something they actually thought about unlike the cheap one piece plastic ones you can get for $50-60 What I love about this seat: 1. Ability to attach and detach it when you want to ride solo ( this is not offered by any other company ) 2. A true German design and dutch built product that you can appriciate its desing and material 3. Buil-in shock absorbance into the seat with its material. Very giving on bumps for your baby 4. The clasps to hold the child's feet into place 5. You baby is sitting high up in the back and still can see/enjoy the ride Overall I would highly recommend this seat as I tested 3 others before setteling with this produce. I must say I'm very picky and look for the best even if it means an extra $$ which in this case is very well worth it. Get it if you want the Rolex / Bentley of seats... -

Read More Works great as a carrier for kids, but if you want to take it off and on your bike for different uses, look elsewhere. It is difficult to access the parts for installation/removal, and you need to put so much stress on the parts at weird angles that the parts quickly start to wear out. I would love to return this, but my kid likes it too much.

Read More Yepp makes a very nice, sturdy seat, but now that we've invested in a Yuba Mundo longtail, we realized the two Yepp Maxi seats are completely different things, not convertible for seat-post/downtube or rack mounting. We've had a "regular" Maxi for almost 2 years now, but it's unusable on the longtail. So if you have a Yepp Maxi seatpost (NOT EasyFit), you're out of luck and will need to drop another $200+ for a different Maxi seat. Bad, bad design, Yepp. Rethink it and make the two mounting systems adaptable for a single seat.
