Product Description
The iBert safe-T-seat was designed with quality and safety first. The safe-T-seat places the child up front, safely between the parent’s protective arms. This evenly distributes weight over the bike giving a stable, safe ride. Kids enjoy the close interaction and the unobstructed view of the fun ahead. Mounted conveniently on the handlebar stem; the high, forward position allows you to pedal in comfort without banging your knees on the seat.Amazon.com Product De… More >>
This was purchased for our 1yr old grandson as a request from his mother. They had only heard good things about it and definitely wanted one. Since it is snowy & almost winter in Vermont, they won’t be trying it out till about April.

I took this to a professional bike shop and though they warned me, they fitted it (it was impossible for me to fit myself because of the angle of my handlebars). My daughter is 13 months and big for her age but the seat is rated to take her weight. What is not made clear is how unstable it felt to have all of her weight at the front of the bike on the actual steering mechanism. It felt very unstable. And if you crash, your child has no head protection other than the helmet so…better not crash. Better still, just don’t buy this and get a rear-mounted seat that attaches firmly to the bike’s frame. That is safest and many come with head protecting high backs. I could not safely use my brakes with this mounted. I think it may even be illegal in many states so if you feel you still want it, check with the DMV or highway patrol. A brain injury is not worth the novelty of having the kid sit up front.

Just got mine today. Will see how my 7 month old takes it.
I was surprised to find so little in the box for $85!! When I resell it I won’t even ger $10 for it. I guess most of the cost is for being the first to the market.
The plastic is ok quality – no cousion seat. The back doesn’t have higher support. Comparared to othe good quality seats this seat should not have been more than $30. What a rip-off.
Only reason I had to buy this product was so that I could take my older kid in the back with the single wheel attachment and the 7 month in front.

When I saw this baby seat on Amazon I got very excited. Riding with my baby between my arms with both of us watching the road ahead seemed like a lot of fun. Plus, all the customer reviews reassured me this was the best I could get.
However, once I got it I noticed the mounting hardware, particularly the stinger — a 7-inch steel bar where the seat slides for mounting/dismounting — would represent a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, once installed the stinger sits right in front of you and it simply is too dangerous to have a 7-inch steel bar pointing at you when you ride. You just won’t be able to use your bike without the baby seat on.
This is a serious disadvantage over back-mounted baby seats which can easily be dismounted for riding solo.
I hope new prospective buyers find this information useful.

This was a product that sounded like a great idea and turned out not to be.
I thought I liked the idea of having my son in front of me on my bike until I got this seat and started thinking logistics.
There is very little space between the seat and me, and I have to sort of reach around the seat to steer and brake — to say this feels unsafe would be an understatement (I have returned the seat without ever using it, as I did not think it was safe). And while I like the idea of having my son where I can see him, I realized that in reality I would be putting him up where stuff (gravel, bugs) could fly in his face. I’ve since noticed that many other front-mounted seats I’ve seen pictured online have “windshields” for the children inside them. Also, most other seats I’ve looked at having padding inside for the child; this one is just hard plastic and seems like it would be rather uncomfortable for the child on any but very short rides.
Finally, of the three bikes I own, I could only mount this seat on one. On one, the stem of the steering column was too short (I could have bought a longer one and had it installed, at a cost of about $150). On the second, the handles curve in a way that makes it impossible to mount the seat — they interfere with the leg portion of the seat. Only one of my three bikes would actually accommodate this seat (all three are pretty standard, ordinary bikes).
