Our first impression of the WeeRide is that is a wonderfully innovative idea, turning the traditional childrens cycle seat on its head. The WeeRide put your child at the front of the bike keeping the weight more evenly distributed over the centre, allowing your child to see more of the world as you ride and allowing you to see your child at all times. It will fit on to all bikes as long as they have between 49 and 60cm from seat post to headset and 5mm headset space below the handlebar stem to fix the metal bar too, it took us about eight minutes to put it all together, easy peasy. There are two adjustable foot enclosed rests to keep your little one’s toes from getting into trouble with the brake cables or peddles and there is a smart cushion pad at the front for them to hold onto to lay their heads on if they need a little snooze. The seat can be removed when not in use but that does mean that ladies, your bike now has a cross bar (although it isn’t too much hassle to remove completely). Now down to the actual practicality of this product, I think this definitely has a place in the market but we had a little trouble, my two year old nephew is a wriggly little bugger and he kept flinging his head about I felt like I was having to keep my legs further apart than normal to avoid the seat, also as I am not very tall I felt like I had to flatten my nephew a little bit so I could reach the handle bars, the manufacturer suggests the seat is suitable for up to 4 years old but there is no way I would physically be able to get my arms around him in two years time. It is a great idea and a soundly made product but it will come down to the individual as whether or not it is a comfortable ride for both participants, as for me I will be sticking with the more traditional trailer whilst keeping a close eye on WeeRide for any new seats more suitable to my build.
