Whether mounted in front or behind the rider, safe child seats all have sturdy hard shells with padding and a sophisticated harness system that keeps your little one securely locked in place. Child seats in front of the rider allow for easy interaction with the child while riding, but affect the bike's steering behaviour more. Placing the child in the rider's slipstream, seat-tube-mounted child seats are the best option and are the most popular type for good reason. The 'floating' construction acts like suspension and relieves kids from bumps in the road.
