A child&#8217;s bike seat is different from a saddle, which many people first assume. It\u2019s an attachment added to a bike a child can sit on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It gives a child the opportunity to experience cycling without needing to pedal. It\u2019s a safer, more comfortable ride that can help build confidence. It means they can get used to cycling until the time comes for them to ride their bikes or to go on a tag-along system.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They come in different styles and designs and have many safety features, such as harnesses, footrests, and armrests that wrap around the child to ensure that they will have much more security if the bike is dropped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Child bike seats typically come in two main styles, rear-mounted and front-mounted. You get other styles, such as tag-along and rear trailers, but I don\u2019t feel they are typical bike seats.&nbsp; If you want to learn more about bike seats and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/best-bike-trailer-for-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trailers<\/a>, check out this cool video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Child Seat vs Bike Trailer?

As expert in cycling, I am very particular about the seats I recommend. Here\u2019s what I look for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Is the first and most important thing in a child seat. I look for the correct safety standards to ensure they have been tested very high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compatibility&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I look for child seats that offer a huge amount of compatibility. I want them to be able to be used on many different bikes and with many different users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I want seats that are going to be comfortable. Unlike you, the rider, the child cannot stand up and move around very much. It\u2019s important that when they are seated, they can get comfortable and stay comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I want bike seats that not only work excellently but also have a great design and a bit of style to them. Child seats can easily take over a bike with their size, but I am seeing many companies make some excellent-looking seats now that look great.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, we have the cost. I don\u2019t go for the cheapest or the most expensive. I look for excellent value-for-money child seats. You don\u2019t have to spend much money on a great child\u2019s bike seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-in-bike-seat.3.png\" alt=\"Child in bike seat 3\" class=\"wp-image-10462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-in-bike-seat.3.png 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-in-bike-seat.3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-in-bike-seat.3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-in-bike-seat.3-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Child in bike seat. <em>Hamax<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Our Recommendations for the Best Childs Bike Seat for Different Ages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Seat<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Mounting<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Max Weight<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Our Rating<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hamax Caress<\/td><td>$165<\/td><td>Rear Mount<\/td><td>9 Months to 4 Year<\/td><td>48lbs Max<\/td><td>4.4lbs<\/td><td>9\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Peg Pegero Orion<\/td><td>$80<\/td><td>Handlebar Mount<\/td><td>1 Year&nbsp;<\/td><td>33lbs Max<\/td><td>4.8lbs<\/td><td>7\/10<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Burley Dash<\/td><td>$169<\/td><td>Rear Rack Mount<\/td><td>1 &#8211;

It mounts onto the frame itself and is very easy to install. It comes with a quick-release system, making it easy to remove without the required tools. The seat weighs only 4.4 lbs which is very lightweight for a rear seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does it have great specifications they have also made it very comfortable for the child who will be using it. It has an inbuilt suspension system, so those bumpy roads will not be an issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has lots of adjustability in the feet to cope with fast-growing children and can be reclined up to 20%. A 5-point harness keeps the child secure, and big armrests for protection are ideal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hamax Caress is excellent. The price is great. It\u2019s easy to mount, does a very good job, and is lightweight. The only thing I didn\u2019t really like was the age range is much less than others, and it\u2019s not a small unit; apart from that, I can\u2019t fault it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\"><strong>For Infants<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">2. <strong>Peg Perego Orion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-3 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"743\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Peg-Perego-Orion.-5-743x1024.png\" alt=\"Peg Perego Orion 5\" class=\"wp-image-10484\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Peg-Perego-Orion.-5-743x1024.png 743w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Peg-Perego-Orion.-5-218x300.png 218w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Peg-Perego-Orion.-5-768x1059.png 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Peg-Perego-Orion.-5.png 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 743px) 100vw, 743px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Peg Perego Orion. <em>Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-6 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#9f9f9f;border-style:dashed;border-width:1px;border-radius:100px;padding-top:3px;padding-right:3px;padding-bottom:3px;padding-left:3px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Our Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1\">7\/10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1\"><strong>$80<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KEY SPECS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mounting<\/strong><\/td><td>Front Mount<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td>1 Year<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>33lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>4.8lbs<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-4 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Excellent price at only $80<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looks great and comes in different colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very secure with the front rest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight at only 4.8lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure molded plastic seat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Very limited age range<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peg Perego Orion takes the best of both worlds when it comes to this child&#8217;s seat. Designed in Italy, they have taken the comfort and structure from a rear rack and put it onto a front rack. It looks great, comes in four different colors, and it\u2019s comfortable for the child.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is designed for children of 1 year old and has a maximum weight of 33 lbs. So it doesn\u2019t have a huge range, and you won\u2019t get a huge amount of use out of it before they grow up compared to the others. It mounts onto the handlebars and offers the child a seat in front of the rider. Although a decent size, it doesn\u2019t weigh down the bike, as it only comes in at 4.8 lbs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It offers a lot of support for the child with a comfortable base and harnesses holding them in tight alongside leg straps. It even has a table in front of them so they can support themselves. Coming in at only $80 is incredibly cheap. So although you don\u2019t get a huge amount of use from it as it is quite small, it comes in at 35% of the cost of models with a wider age range.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Peg Perego is a great child&#8217;s bike seat. It offers the support of a rear mount seat but with the convenience of a front rack. It isn&#8217;t going to last many years of growth, but it is excellent and only costs $80.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\"><strong>For Infants and Toddlers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">3. <strong>Burley Dash<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-5 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"785\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Burley-Dash-Bike-Seat.-6-785x1024.png\" alt=\"Burley Dash Bike Seat 6\" class=\"wp-image-10485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Burley-Dash-Bike-Seat.-6-785x1024.png 785w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Burley-Dash-Bike-Seat.-6-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Burley-Dash-Bike-Seat.-6-768x1002.png 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Burley-Dash-Bike-Seat.-6.png 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Burley Dash Bike Seat. <em>Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-10 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#9f9f9f;border-style:dashed;border-width:1px;border-radius:100px;padding-top:3px;padding-right:3px;padding-bottom:3px;padding-left:3px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Our Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1\">8\/10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1\"><strong>$169<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KEY SPECS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mounting<\/strong><\/td><td>Rear Mounted<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td>&lt;1 &#8211; 5 Years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>40lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>5.5lbs<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-6 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Price is excellent at only $169<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very supportive with the large armrests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 point harness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight at 5.5lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very adjustable feet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Is quite large<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Requires a rack<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Burley Dash is a child seat designed to sit on a rack on the bike&#8217;s rear. If your bike already has a rack, it\u2019s an ideal solution. If not, you might need to purchase one to make it work. Burley does a rack to suit this if required. It\u2019s designed for children ages 1 to 5 and has a max weight of 40 lbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the seat looks quite large, it only comes in at 5.5 lbs, making it light. It is made from a plastic mold, is easy to clean, and is durable. The Burley can easily accommodate growing children with adjustable footrests and foot straps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has the ability to recline in a couple of different positions and offers a lot of support with its 5-point harness system. It comes in two different colors and even has armrests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rear seat looks good and doesn\u2019t look out of place on a bike. It comes in very well priced at $169, but it\u2019s worth noting that it&#8217;s for the seat without a rack. The Burley rack is an additional $169, which could make it an expensive setup. One of the big selling points of this rack is you can use it alongside panniers for those long days out on the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Burley Dash is a great infant bike seat. It comes in at only $169, and providing you have a rack is an absolute bargain. It could be an added cost if you don\u2019t have a rack. Knowing you can use panniers with this is a big bonus, and being only 5.5 lbs, it\u2019s not heavy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\"><strong>For Toddlers and Preschoolers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">4. <strong>Thule Yepp Maxi<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"805\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thule-Yepp-Maxi-Bike-Seat.7-805x1024.png\" alt=\"Thule Yepp Maxi Bike Seat 7\" class=\"wp-image-10486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thule-Yepp-Maxi-Bike-Seat.7-805x1024.png 805w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thule-Yepp-Maxi-Bike-Seat.7-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thule-Yepp-Maxi-Bike-Seat.7-768x977.png 768w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Thule-Yepp-Maxi-Bike-Seat.7.png 950w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 805px) 100vw, 805px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Thule Yepp Maxi Bike Seat. <em>Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-14 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-10 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#9f9f9f;border-style:dashed;border-width:1px;border-radius:100px;padding-top:3px;padding-right:3px;padding-bottom:3px;padding-left:3px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Our Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1\">9\/10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-11 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1\"><strong>$219<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KEY SPECS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mounting<\/strong><\/td><td>Rear Mounted<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td>1 &#8211; 6 Years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>40lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>5.7lbs<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Looks great in mat black finish<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Big age range from 1 &#8211; 6 years<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Very comfortable with twin harness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to install onto seat post<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High Quality as many Thule products are<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lightweight at 5.7lbs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Isn\u2019t the cheapest<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It\u2019s pretty large<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thule currently has five different child seats, and the one I like the most is the Thule Yepp Maxi It had to be on our list for the best child seat for bikes. It\u2019s one of their most popular models, and I can see why. It\u2019s a rear-mounted rack and will work with many bikes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It attaches via a clamp on the bike&#8217;s seat tube and can easily be taken on and off. Coming in at 5.7 lbs, it\u2019s very light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s made of high-quality materials that are easy to clean and durable. The seat is a molded shell and has a cushion for added comfort. Also adding to the comfort, it comes with a shock-absorbing system, adjustable feet, and a comfortable twin harness. It can even be reclined backwards to support the back more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of all this, it can be locked to ensure nobody takes it and comes with a built-in reflector and a mounting bracket for a rear light. It costs $219, but it is well worth every cent as it will last for 5 years of use on a child and will work with any bike you might upgrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Thule makes an excellent child seat, and I was very impressed.

It was designed by a Canadian mountain biker who wanted to take his child on more challenging trails. It&#8217;s a unique design sits between the seat post and the handlebars. It looks great and removes the bulkiness you typically get from a children&#8217;s seat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mac Rise works for children from 2 &#8211; 5 years and does require them to have some ability to hold on fairly well. It has a big weight limit of 60 lbs and weighs only 5.2 lbs. It\u2019s designed for performance bikes but will still work on your general hybrid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a large saddle with stirrups for the child&#8217;s feet. They also hold onto the handlebars as well to help them balance. It\u2019s not something they will be able to be on for a long time, but it does offer a great experience for them as they feel they will be controlling the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mac Ride is a great way to carry a child on a bike. It\u2019s minimal, puts the child right in the driving seat, and gives the adult cyclist more ability. It doesn\u2019t offer the comfort of other seats, but it\u2019s not designed for long rides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"margin-top:2em;margin-bottom:2em;padding-top:0em;padding-right:0em;padding-bottom:0em;padding-left:0em\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0em;margin-right:0em;margin-bottom:0em;margin-left:0em\"><strong>For Preschoolers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px\">6. <strong>UrRider<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-11 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"948\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UrRider-Bike-Seat.9.png\" alt=\"UrRider Bike Seat 9\" class=\"wp-image-10492\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UrRider-Bike-Seat.9.png 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UrRider-Bike-Seat.9-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UrRider-Bike-Seat.9-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/UrRider-Bike-Seat.9-768x766.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UrRider Bike Seat. <em>Amazon<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-22 wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:25%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-border-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-16 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-color:#9f9f9f;border-style:dashed;border-width:1px;border-radius:100px;padding-top:3px;padding-right:3px;padding-bottom:3px;padding-left:3px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:16px\">Our Rating<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1\">8\/10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"inherit-container-width wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-17 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:28px;line-height:1\"><strong>$85<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KEY SPECS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Mounting<\/strong><\/td><td>Centre \/ Front Mount<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Age Range<\/strong><\/td><td>2 &#8211; 6 Years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Max Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>60lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>2.2lbs<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-12 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The weight limit is excellent at 60lbs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The price is very low at $85<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A fun experience for the child being upfront<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to install on seatpost&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looks great and comes in different colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wide age range from 2 &#8211; 6 years<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CONS<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Not good for longer rides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Not the best seat for style<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The last on our list is the UrRider. This is a very popular design of child bike seat and very unique in design. It\u2019s similar to the Mac Ride, but they have a support bar instead of using your bike handlebars. It comes in a few different colors and with different footrest options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UrRider is designed for children over 2 years and goes up to children of 6 years. It has an incredible weight limit of 60 lbs and only weighs 2.2 lbs coming in half any other child seat on this list. The bike doesn\u2019t take up too much space and gives a great cycling experience for the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It isn\u2019t designed for very long bike rides, but for short bike rides, it\u2019s ideal. The child will be comfortable, and the support bar in front gives them confidence. It also is incredibly cheap, coming in at $70 to $90, depending on what foot supports you get for the passenger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">OUR VERDICT<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The UrRider is amazing value for money and does give your child a great cycling experience. It\u2019s not the nicest to look at, and it\u2019s not great for long rides, but for $85, it\u2019s incredible value for money and will be fun to use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.10.png\" alt=\"Child Bike Seat 10\" class=\"wp-image-10497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.10.png 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.10-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.10-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.10-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Child Bike Seat. <em>Hamax<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Child Bike Seat Buyers Guide<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When buying a child seat for a bike, knowing what will be best can be challenging. Here\u2019s what you need to be thinking about before making your selection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is it Compatible With Your Bike?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider is if it will be compatible with your bike. Not all child seats fit all bikes. It\u2019s worth checking out the product to ensure it will work and not damage the seat or your bike in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Will it Work for the Child?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All child seats have age ranges and weight limits. You\u2019ll want to check that it will work with the child you are buying it for. If not, it isn\u2019t going to be comfortable and could break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Type of Rack<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As I mentioned, children&#8217;s bike seats come in all shapes and sizes. It\u2019s important to get the rack you want for the bike you have. Many people choose the rear racks, but a front mount rack can give the child a much more fun cycling experience. To learn more about front and back child seats check out this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Front or Rear Bike Seat: Which One Is Best?

It\u2019s worth checking the installation and removal process. Many riders tend to want to remove them if they are not going out with their child to make the bike smaller and lighter. If it takes 20 minutes, it\u2019s not ideal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safety Features<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for the right child&#8217;s seat for you, I highly recommend ensuring a standards agency has tested it. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astm.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASTM<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/business-economy-euro\/product-safety-and-requirements\/product-safety\/standards-and-risks-specific-products_en#:~:text=Information%20campaigns-,Product%20safety%20standards%20in%20the%20EU,prove%20safety%20of%20a%20product.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">European Union Safety Standards<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CPSC<\/a> are some of the main governing standards when it comes to products like the above. Their seal of approval goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Comfort&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a good idea to look at the comfort level the seat offers the child. If you\u2019re planning longer rides out, you want the most comfortable seat possible so they can relax. You might want to avoid sporty seats where they must hold themselves up unless you only do short rides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"950\" src=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.11.png\" alt=\"Child Bike Seat 11\" class=\"wp-image-10499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.11.png 950w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.11-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.11-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.333fab.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Child-Bike-Seat.11-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Child Bike Seat. <em>Hamax<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cycling is fun, and taking your child on a bike adventure can be a great experience for you both. Having the right child seats makes this all possible, and I highly recommend having one. After reading this article, I hope you found the perfect child seat and are ready for many bike rides.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1678685892451\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What age can children go in a bike seat?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Many bike seats work with children as young as 9 months, though most people start using a baby bike seat when the children get to about one year old. I also highly recommend checking out our article on child\u2019s bike sizes when it comes to getting a bike after the seat.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1678685925509\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Can a 5 year old go in a bike seat?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, a 5 year old would be fine in a bike seat, providing you have a seat that can go to the age of 6, which most I have recommended can.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1678685968343\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>\u200b\u200bIs it normal for a 3 year old to ride a bike?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Children start to learn to ride a bike from 3 to 8, so a child as young as three would be ok to start riding.
