iBert Safe T Front Mounted Child Bicycle Seat

Overview

Created by parents who were disappointed with the family bicycling options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was made to offer families the best biking experience possible in safety and comfort. This front mounted seat offers both parent and child excellent range of vision, with the opportunity to interact as they bike together. Noted for its ease of use, the seat takes just a few minutes to install and remove, and it is equally easy and safe to load and unload the child from the seat. Providing plenty of clearance for the knees so that the adult can bike with ease, the seat is positioned so that it is easy to maintain the center of gravity. This adaptable seat fits any adult bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches of clearance on the handlebar stem.

The iBert Safe-T seat was developed after its creators became frustrated with the available bike seat options for children. They found that bike trailers kept their kids uncomfortably far away from them, got too hot in the sun, and only provided a limited view out to the children. The rear-mounted seats presented similar problems. The kids had a limited view and it was difficult to interact with them. Additionally, the balance of the bike was off and it was not easy to load and unload the kids. Other front mounted seats were complicated to hook onto the bike and difficult to remove. These seats also did not allow knee clearance for biking, and as a result were not comfortable.

The iBert Safe-T seat offers a variety of safety and comfort advantages compared to other child bike seat options. The iBert Safe-T seat allows you to maintain control of the bike when loading and unloading your child. To load and unload the child, you simply straddle the bike and lift the child into or out of the seat. When using the iBert seat you can always see what your child is doing and you can make sure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. The center of gravity in the iBert seat is closer to the center of the bike making it easier to control the bike as you ride. The seat sits higher on the bike and is smooth on the bottom so that even tall riders rarely brush the bottom of the seat with their knees and if they do they just glide along the smooth edges on the bottom.

The iBert Safe-T seat is easy to install. The patented stinger assembly attaches to any bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches on the handle bar stem. The stinger system attaches to the bike in just two minutes and the seat can then be attached and detached from the stinger in 15 seconds. If you buy additional stinger assemblies the seat can be attached to multiple bikes.

The iBert Safe-T seat is made in the U.S.A. with safety and quality as the main objectives. While the iBert Safe-T seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, at this time ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers not front mounted seats.

Reviews

5 Stars Great control, visibility, and fun! I was skeptical when I saw the picture of this seat because it didn't seem sturdy enough. However, after extensive reviews and even a video I found online, I went ahead and purchased the seat. WOW. I love it - my son is 2 years old and about 28 lbs and he LOVES it. We get "Wow" and "Awesome" when we ride it in town. I feel that the way the seat is mounted on the steering column makes this a sturdy choice that helps to control the excess weight (i.e. the child!) and prevents it from tipping out of control. The bicycle shop told me condescendingly that these are "unsafe" but after reading the reviews, I felt the rear mounted ones would be more of a hazard for me for balance and tipping. I didn't take their advice (of course they told me it was unsafe b/c they only sold rear mounted seats) and I went with the parents' reviews on amazon and I was so pleased with the purchase. The only complaint I have is the straps - they can fall off the child's shoulders but if you have a velcro belt or any adjustable belt, and fasten the two straps by the child's shoulder blades, it works perfectly well. I love that I can interact with my son, and that I can see exactly what he is up to. Great product!

5 Stars Great seat even if your are short! I read many reviews about this seat, other seats and even trailers. I decided to purchase this seat based on reviews and the information provided at the ibert web site. My 5 1/2 month rode in it for the first time this past weekend. He weighs about 17 pounds, and absolutely loved it. He complained anytime I stopped, or if I went over large bumps. He has much room to grow in it. I purchased a hybrid woman's comfort bike at the same time. I am only 5'1", and it works great for me!

5 Stars LOve it! It's great , just make sure that your baby will be up for a while, it's a bit uncomfortable if falls asleep on the chair.

5 Stars Simply a must buy! Most fun I've had on my bike in years! I was skeptical at first but after reading all these reviews I was able to convince my wife that this is a safe and enjoyable way for me to take our 20-month old son out on my bike. I researched bike trailers for a months but none of them seemed appealing to me (the ride would seem so detached).

Anyway, when this arrived, I couldn't wait to install it. Even though I had to make a few adjustments to my handlebars, it still only took me a few minutes to get this seat on.

I've used this every day I can and both my son and I love our time together on my bike. It's a great way for us to bond and we play "i-spy" while we're riding. With the weather slowly getting nicer, I'm really looking forward to taking him on rides at various parks in the area.

I only wish I bought this sooner since I think I only have this summer left before he outgrows it. Next year will be my daughter's turn with me!

5 Stars The BEST! I have tried many seats but they have never worked on my bike, not only does this one work, but it was so easy to put on and my daughter loves it. I never thought it would be so easy and successful.
