Share what you know about kids and bike seats?




Karen H


PARENTS. Do you prefer the bike seat that attaches to the bike behind the rider? Or the wagon that sits on the ground behind the bike? What age would you start bringing your kid with you bike-riding? Where did you get your equipment? Do they make helmets for little kids?

My daughter is one year old, and I'm wondering if I can start to take her bike-riding with me, and what is the best equipment to use.



Answer
This response is based on experience of both articles...as our children got older and could sustain the wind and the riding in an upright position for long periods of time we used the bike seat theory...when they were smaller and not as strong we used the wagon behind the bike...it's also going to depend on how you can handle the distribution of the extra weight directly on the bike...also on the are as to where you live...suburbia...both methods work well..city I definitely would use the seat behind the bike...but that is just me..

Can a Kid Troxel bike seat Fit on a Beach Crusier?

Its a huffy beach cruiser


Answer
It should if the seat clamp is for the same diameter seatpost but you can buy a clamp for the seat or spread it out to fit but if you did that be careful and if I had a pic of the bike or link to the seat I can help you a little better, you could get another seatpost with a smaller top like these have in the links below.

Also if you can see the seat clamp of the seat in question looks smaller than the top of your seatpost then do what I have said but if your seatpost has the top smaller than the rest of the seatpost then it should be the same, newer bikes use bigger seatposts than the 90's & older ones do.

Edit: Anymore help with your bike ask here at Ratrodbikes forum because they know a lot.

Edit 2: I believe the asker is talking about a seat for a 16 or 20 inch bicycles like the one in the link below which was used on a kids Huffy.
