The instructions for this suggest one can simply slide the seat onto the rack. That’s not the case, however. After a maddening hour or so, I used a flat-head screw driver to leverage the seat on the front of the rack. Looks like a design or manufacturing flaw prevents one from sliding it on. I haven’t used it yet, but I came within minutes of packing it back up and returning it. Let’s hope its flaws do not extend to how safe it is.

This seat may be safe for kids but it is not safe for adults.
Trying to remove the seat from the rack nearly put my wife and I in the hospital.
First her fingers got jammed between the rack and seat as I was pulling. Many tears and fearful of a broken finger.
After re reading the instructions (there is a caution) and using as much precaution as humanly posable my finger got stuck as well.
This is a dangerous design flaw that leaves me wondering how a product like this clears safety codes.
It really takes 2 people to remove the seat plus some sort of tool that they don’t provide to keep your fingers from getting mauled.
Another problem is that you have to wrestle with this bit of velcro to remove the foot harnesses. It’s very frustrating. I have to walk around the bike looking for enough room to pull the straps apart.
From design to materials all the way to the flimsy manual this bike seat just feels cheap. And it’s not $$ THAT $$ cheap!!
Good luck!

That says a lot about the quality! My son took the “grab bar” and just snapped it out of the seat So much for a security feature.
And it is very difficult to lock the seat on the track. Fortunately I don’t have to remove the seat but otherwise I would have considered returning this item.

It supported my 3 years old daughter who does not want to ride her bike for a long cruise around the village. Which worked for me, lost more weight having her as an added weight going around town. It was easy to install if you are mechanicaly inclined. Once the base is installed, the seat can be removed in less than 10seconds if you just want to ride around without your child. The back rest is high enough to protect your child’s neck and covers the child’s whole body, which is great in case of a fall unlike those that I have seen that are short exposing your kids neck and head.

This is the second brand bike seat I purchased. The first type was not large enough for my two year old, who is twenty three pound and average height, even though the description listed up to 40lbs. This seat allows you to adjust the straps, just like your car seat, when your child gets taller. The lap bar is also high enough to not constrict their movement too much. You can also strap they’re feet in if you have a little kicker behind you. Recommend
