Options: All Front Seats

Front Seat suitable for 1-3 years

All front seats are suitable for bikepath riding… choose your match on the type of bike you have or whether you want additional protection such as a windscreen. Front seats offer great sitting support and a quality secure harness making it a great solution for riding early on bikepaths with a young child. You have great interaction with your child between your arms supporting you to enjoy bikepaths together.

With your seat and child positioned in front of you it can make getting on and off the bike a little more challenging. Though you don’t often have to get on and off your bike when riding on bikepaths. However we recommend that you only consider a front seat if you are an upright rider, have a medium/large bike frame and/or a dropper seat to provide the space you need in front of your chest to enjoy riding with a Front Kids Bike Seat.

Our recreation trailers are best suited to sealed and gravel surfaces where as the off-road trailer suits gravel and bumpy terrain.
