Watch Out – WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat Review
The WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat is a center mounted bike seat that allows you to keep a close eye on your little one while riding. There are quite a few different options out there now that these are becoming more popular in the US, today we will take a look at the WeeRide Kangaroo.
The advantages of the WeeRide Kangaroo is that your child is close to you, which is not the case with trailers. If there were an accident you would be quickly able to grab your child. The seat is made of injection-molded plastic form, and it features a comfortable padded foam seat, height adjustable foot cups, and a fully adjustable three-point security harness.
The disadvantages of the WeeRide Kangaroo are that the position of the seat, makes it VERY difficult to pedal the bike. Do not expect to be able to ride for miles with the WeeRide installed. Next, the bike gear changers are right in front of the little one, making them nice play toys during a ride. Finally, the seat does not fit on all bikes (especially mountain bikes), click here for a more information on bike specifications.
In conclusion, if you can get over the few disadvantages, the WeeRide Kangaroo is a very capable child bike seat. I personally would go with a child seat that keeps the child close rather than a trailer where there is no interaction.
