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.

Little Tikes Swing Along Castle Review
The Little Tikes Swing Along Castle is perfect for the little toddler in your life. It is very nice to have a 'mini-park' in your backyard when you are not able to make it to a nearby park.
The slide is a perfect size for a little one to climb up all by themselves, without you having to worry too much about them falling off. The swing is also a very nice feature with secure buckling to make sure that your child stays safe.
The set itself is very sturdy and is even made in the USA. Amazon currently has the Little Tikes Swing Along Castle on sale for $115 with free shipping, click here to check it out.

Don’t Buy the iBert Safe-T Seat Until You Read This!
A new way to bike with kids on board!
Growing up, I distinctly remember the off-white child's seat that was permanently attached to the back of my mom's bicycle. My youngest brother is 5 years younger than me, so I also have the image in my mind's eye of his head bobbing happily from side to side as we rode through the park. Ask my mom what she remembers and I guarantee she'll tell you that along with the head bobbing, there was also a lot of arm flailing while tiny legs kicked her in the back. ...All the while struggling to maintain an upright, balanced position with the bike, plus the added weight of the seat and the 30 pound kid. Struggle. Yes, struggle is the right word.
So, what's the solution? Enter: the iBert Safe-T-Seat. It's amazing how the simple act of moving the child from back to front can completely change the whole equation. First and foremost, you are more balanced with the child in front. The child's view is unobstructed, therefore he's much more content, with the world opening up in front of him as mom pedals into places yet unknown. Getting him in and out of the seat is a breeze: just straddle the bike and lift the child into the seat. With the child in front, you can watch him and the road at the same time. No more quick glances behind you to make sure everything is okay, which in and of itself leads to unbalance and a greater chance of accidents.
Overall, safety reins with the iBert making it a superior product to others on the market. It's durable, easy to attach, and reasonably priced. When warm weather comes calling, be equipped with the iBert for smooth riding! Here is a video review of the iBert.
Update (April 2010): Amazon is currently running a promotion on the iBert, click here to check it out!
