Watch Out – WeeRide Kangaroo Child Bike Seat Review

WeeRide Kangaroo Image ReviewThe 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.

Bought one for 6 month old and used it all the time. Bought one for baby 2 and still loving it.

We got this when my child was 1, and he can still fit in it as a 3 year old (barely). He sits between my legs on the bike. You do have to spread your legs further apart to pedal than when there is not a seat there...(read more)

Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld Color Video Monitor Review

Ahh, baby has finally fallen asleep. Time to do the dishes/eat dinner/go to sleep…but wait! Is that the baby waking up? Is she coughing? Is she breathing?

Every new parent (and one or two veteran ones, too) knows this scenario. It’s lovely when your baby sleeps, but it sure would be nice to keep an eye on her, too. But there aren’t too many parents around who have the luxury of sitting quietly in baby’s bedroom, watching her sleep. This is why baby monitors were invented. And traditional audio monitors are a terrific boon to modern parents. But the Day and Night Handheld Color Video Monitor—now here is technology at its finest!  Below is a video of the Day and Night Handheld in action.

Product Features

  • Portable, handheld 1.8" color video monitor allows you to see and hear baby from anywhere in your house, black-and-white vision
  • 900 MHz technology for superior clarity and range, Two channel selection, and up to 350 ft range
  • Rechargeable batteries in parent unit last up to 10 hours, or just use the included A/C adapters
  • LED Sound lights allow you to view baby's level of activity even when monitor screen is turned off
  • Belt clip and kickstand for extra convenience

Reviews

I love having a video monitor and being able to see that my daughter is breathing. This device gives a clear picture and very good sound. It is in color, but be advised that if you are using it in a dark room, it shows up black and white (not that this matters at all). It also has a light display below...(read more)

This monitor is awesome! We can clearly hear and see our lil princess whether we're inside or...(read more)

We purchased this unit and it was okay. We do like having video in addition to audio. Main problems:...(read more)
I wanted to post b/c I think it is important to know that if your neighbor has this monitor you will be able to see their nursery instead of yours. In fact, all someone needs is a handset and...(read more)
