Read More I had my mechanic install the bracket for this carrier to the torque spec in the manual. My child is ten pounds under the weight limit. I have a durable powdercoat finish on my bicycle. Still, when I removed the bracket recently to take my bicycle on the trip, I found that the paint underneath the bracket was seriously scuffed. This is a new bike, and I'm going to have to have at least part of it repainted to protect the frame from rust. I would guess that it's just not reasonable to produce a clamp-based bracket that supposed to be able to carry 45 pound kids. At that size, kids should be moving to a trailer or a very special bike like a dutch bakfiets. -

Read More After having used this seat for one long trial-ride, I'm wondering why I ever bought the Yepp Mini and suffered with it for so long. There are of of course, pros and cons to both front- and rear-mounted seats, but I like the Thule rear seat so much that I may just buy their version of a front-mount for our next baby (I did like having my daughter up front to keep an eye on her when she was a baby). Pros: - The straps are INFINITELY better than Yepp's, and better than pretty much any other seat I looked at online. It seems basically all bike seats have the same flimsy, hard-to-adjust straps. On the Thule seat, the whole strap piece adjusts up and down in the back to get a better fit, in addition to adjusting longer or shorter on the front, with just the click of a button. Speaking of clicking a button, the buckle is much easier to click-in and release than Yepp's, but in a position that makes it basically impossible for the child to undo it him/herself. - Lots of room to grow! - Suspension... she usually complains about "going bumpy bumpy," but on this seat, she thinks it's hilarious! - Wings on the sides so you can lean it against a wall without pinching little fingers - Reclines: I've had her fall asleep in the Yepp and I basically had to hold her head on. No way could I do that on a rear seat while riding. Now I can just recline her and she can snooze away! - Light... pretty sure this is lighter than our much smaller Yepp Mini! Cons: - So far, the only thing I've noticed is that the foot straps are kind of flimsy. Easy enough to get on and off/adjust, but just not very robust. This is not a big deal to me, but might be more important if you have a kicker wink emoticon - I did read in other reviews that this seat doesn't fit certain frames. I imagine it's rare that this would be a problem, but it's worth mentioning. -

Read More Bought this on our way to a family bike ride when we needed something for our 2yo (32lb) to sit in. Easy to install out of the box (though could use a better "quick-start" guide as the images were hidden inside of one of those small, thick, multi-languange instruction books). Wrench and extra bolts included. Takes about 10 min to put on. The mounting bracket attaches to the frame (not the seat post) and the 2 cantilever rods snap in/out of it (very easy on/off for putting your bike back on the car rack). I was wary of the cantilever design but it seems sturdy (rated to 48.5 lbs) and offers some 'bounce' when going over bumps (i.e. smoother ride for your little passenger). I would prefer this to the seats that mount to the rear axle. Sturdy seat belt and stirrups (my 2yo was not too excited about having feet strapped in, but it is a nice safety option). Overall it seems like a great seat and offers room to grow (average 4-5yo) until they are ready to ride on their own.

Read More It didn't fit on my Linus Dutchi. I spent hours researching if this would fit my bike, but it did not. I could sort of get it on, but sliding the bars in to the base would have required a seat adjustment each time, or would have probably damaged the finish of my frame.
