    I don’t think people realize how much time and work goes into making a video like this! I’ve been going a little nuts researching the best baby/child bike seat and your video just answered all of my questions and I’m (finally) ready to order a seat for my 2 y/o! Thank you so much.

    How do you get on and off the bike when the kid is on the back? I’d usually throw my leg over the seat or tilt the bike but that would kick them or possibly cause the bike to fall. Thanks

    • @Twowheelingtotsbikes
      @Twowheelingtotsbikes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      If you have a "men's style" bike with a flat top bar, it honestly can be pretty difficult!
      Getting on or off next to a wall or bench where you can lean the seat against it is what we usually do.
      Another great method is to load up next to a curb so you are several inches higher than normal. That makes it much easier to swing your leg over.

    Great! Thanks for the amazing review. It really helps a lot?
    I'm not sure I will be able to see/touch first hand the seats (I'd probably have to purchase online) so I would like to ask you about the Caress and Ride Along.
    Are the bottom padding removable in both? (In the ridealong it looks like it's a whole piece with the back padding).
    How would you compare the reclining features of the two and the head/helmet recess?
    My main concern with my actual (cheap) baby bike seat is the wobbling head of my daughter when falling asleep and I would like to eliminate the problem (hamax looks easier and smoother to recline looking at your videos but also shorter and less spacious for the head).
    Judging from your reviews the hamax looks super comfortable and easy to use but those tight belts on the neck sure look bad. Plus the fact the adjusting the height "opens" the back of the seat (short child always exposed to air flow while taller one not?!?!).
    My daughter is just turning 2 (she's a little bigger then average, nothing outrageous haha) and I would like to have a seat that does a proper job both immediately then in the next future (I would when she gets to big to just switch to the trailer)...
    Sorry for the huge message but your in depth reviews answer questions that later turn into more questions hahaha

    • @Twowheelingtotsbikes
      @Twowheelingtotsbikes  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The seat padding on the RideAlong is removable, the Hamax is not. If you are planning on using the seat longer term, the RideAlong is a better bet given the more narrow placement of the Hamax straps. We have individual video reviews for both of these, as well as full written reviews on our website. Those will both provide significantly more information.

      we would not recommend riding with a six-year-old on your mountain bike for legitimate mountain bike rides. If he truly cannot ride his own bike, you could look into the Weehoo Turbo, which does accommodate larger kids. But of course you will need to be very cautious with your max speed.

    • @Twowheelingtotsbikes
      @Twowheelingtotsbikes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It definitely affects your balance and takes some practice at first! If this makes you nervous and your child is at least 2, we recommend a mid-mount seat like the Mac Ride. Its placement on your bike has very minimal effect on your balance. www.twowheelingtots.com/mac-ride-child-bike-seat-review/

    Seeing those big kids in the front seats gives me anxiety 😆 They are used in the Netherlands from the age the child can sit on his own (around 5 months I think?), some of the babies in it are tiny. The oldest in it are usually maybe 12-18 months? And then move to the rear seat 😂 Of course children up to 3 fit in the front seat, but it's mostly used for babies. I'm a childminder of a 12 month old, and I'm looking into rear seats. I find the front seat annoying anyway, I have to make quite a bit of speed to get on the seat with enough balance (at least that's what it has felt like for me, but I've only used them on the bikes of the parents I mind, so it's not my own, which also doesn't help probably).

And even if not experts, a seat with very little protection or restraints, though great fun, would clearly be compromising safety. Hence why it wont meet standards.

Not all of their seats will fit, but most rear seats of these brands seem to? As far as I can tell from their websites. I don't know, I've just bought an ebike, and am now searching the internet which brand I'll choose. I'm going to be buying it second hand probably, they are used so much here, it's quite easy to find a seat that still looks decent (especially with the well known ones bobike and yepp). Good luck!
