iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle Seat

I highly recommend this to anyone with a child in the weight and age/size range. As a parent you have full observation, control of your child and can communicate what you are sharing in sights. No need to take your eyes off the road to check on your child.

I have to give high marks to this product, its almost perfect. I knew that I wanted a bike seat that sat in the front. After seeing and remembering from childhood all the seats in the rear, I knew that was a bum deal (haha puns well intended). The poor kid sits behind mom or dad and gets to stare at their rear the whole time or strain to see off to the left or right. Plus, for the parent, any conversation with the kid is pretty much non-existent.

The iBert steps in to change all that. Up front and right next to you, your child feels safe and protected. Conversation is easy for you and the view is unparalleled for your child. They can look anywhere from their fluorescent green throne. We have horses that are in a fence down the road, so I load up my son and peddle down to see them all the time.

I am 5'10" and have a standard size men's 21 speed. I had to do a slight adjustment to my handlebars to get the iBert bracket to fit my bike. I do have to slightly "butterfly" my legs to peddle but it is not at all inconvenient or uncomfortable.

My wife's bike is another story. She has a women's diamondback hybrid or something and it does not at all fit on her bike, at least, we can't mount it and then want to change gears, haha.

Pros: Kid feels safe, easy conversation, kid can see all around, easy setup, really fun
Cons: Expensive, doesn't fit all bikes, shoulder straps are a joke (but the saftey bar latches in pretty well)

This is by far the best child seat out there. It is safe and our 18 month old loves the view. He can wiggle a little and it does not affect the way the bike handles. I highly recommend the Ibert!

The iBert rocks! We ordered it and a helmet for our daughter's first birthday. The install was super easy, it feels very safe and our daughter loves riding in it. It's not too rough a ride. She isn't leaning from one side to the other trying to see me or see around me like she would in a rear mounted seat. The bike is way more balanced, easier to turn, etc. than with a rear mounted seat. She's 20 pounds and 30 inches tall and has lots of room to grow into the seat. The harness is well made and holds her in place securely, you just have to take the time and follow the directions to get it adjusted right for your kid. We point at squirrels, dogs, trees, kids, cars, etc. She cries when we're all done with our ride. I would definitely recommend this bike seat over all others.

The iBert Safe-T Bicycle Seat is an outstanding bicycle seat for small children. It was easy to install and feels sturdy, durable and safe. It also slides right off in about 10 seconds, with the mounting bar staying on the bicycle. The manufacturer even has great customer support: I had a question about mounting my seat and iBert emailed a response within two hours of submitting the question through their website.

With your child in front of you, you have much better balance and control, and your child will love being able to see where you're going and feel the wind on his face. The seat also doesn't crowd my legs when I ride. (My bike is a Raleigh Hybrid/Comfort bike.)

Look closely at the installation instructions (available at the iBert website) to be sure that the seat will fit on your handle bar stem, and if it does fit, then I full recommend this seat!
