Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy the optimal stopping power of your disc brake system, and keep your infant secure and comfortable with the Topeak Baby Bike Seat. The only child bike seat on the market offering a full suspension system to absorb road shock and ensure a smooth ride for your child, the Topeak Baby Seat includes a Disc Mount Aluminum Rear Bike Rack so that the bike seat can be mounted easily on bikes with popular disc mounted brake systems. Whether you are navigating city streets, riding trails, or cruising back and forth from the beach or playground, the Topeak Baby Bike Seat offers the most comfortable and secure ride on the market.

The Topeak Baby Bike Seat is designed to cradle small children, up to 40 pounds in a full-body, protective cocoon shell of molded engineered plastic. With a suspension base with two stainless steel springs, and spring barrels, bumps are absorbed by the seat base rather than the baby, keeping him or her comfortable, happy, and injury free. The molded, plastic shell interior is also padded for additional comfort and cushioning. The seat has a 4-way safety harness with a quick-release buckle, an adjustable footrest with safety straps, and a quick-release, padded safety bar. The seat and the rear rack have reflectors for visibility and additional safety on the road.

Easy to use, the Topeak Baby Bike Seat attaches rapidly and securely to the rear Disc Mount Aluminum Rear Bike Rack with locking dual safety latches. The rack is made of solid yet lightweight die-cast aluminum capable of supporting the Baby Seat with a child up to 40 pounds. With the quick latching system, the seat can be easily removed from the bike and switched between bikes with an additional rear bike rack.

5 out of 5 stars everything i wanted it to be   August 28, 2010

I wanted a bike seat that was comfortable for me and my son, this is the perfect product. He sits comfortably and safely; he loves it and so do I. I recommend this product for other parents, especially for those who have disc brakes on their bike.


1 out of 5 stars UNSAFE! And bad customer service   August 3, 2010

I chose this bike seat because it looked safe, and convenient. Well after the bike having one small fall the plastic clasps that keep the child in place broke instantaneously. Yes thats right, so the bike fell over the clasp broke (making the 3 point harness unusable - child fell through the seat and was choked by the strap around neck. Thank goodness we had a helmet on - and no scratches on the kid (amazingly) but he was forcefully chocked.

This and of itself is enough to make me suggest that you should not buy this item however their customer support was not helpful either. When I spoke to them about the situation they directed me on where I could buy a replacement part. I think this is poor customer service - my concern was first SAFETY. I don't know if I'll do this again. I'm seriously investigating trailers. However, I would have expected that they offer a replacement part free of charge.

Obviously, one hopes the bike never falls over - however when it does you expect it to work. This failed.



1 out of 5 stars Great seat - but flimsy and no parts available   May 4, 2010

The seat is great, fits well easy to use.

BUT - the foot stirups are flimsy and it did not take much for my son to knock it off and once it is broken there are no spare parts available so you may as well through the seat away.
Rubbish!!!!

At first, our daughter (1 1/2 yo) was a little afraid, but she quickly got used to it, and then she started loving it! it's very well made, and easy to use, too. And, when riding our bikes last fall, in a NJ park, we saw many other people having the same seat for their children, as well.


5 out of 5 stars Love them and would recommend to my friends!   August 5, 2009

Note: I am not an avid bicyclist. I just love to go for a beach ride or trail ride with the kiddos. Everyone asks us about our bike seat and I recommend them. My sweet hubby had no trouble getting them on our bikes, and after a year and a half of owning them they are still in perfect condition. The suspension is what stands out the most!!!!
