Front mounted child seats
I'm looking at the choice of front mounted childs seats, my granddaughter turns one soon and its time to get her on a bike. I really like the concept of being close to the child offered by these seats.
There seems to be three main options, the wee rider, ibert and Bo Bike Mini.
The wee rider seems a bit far back causing the rider to ride with legs bent outwards, the clearance seems better on the others.
Has anyone had any experiences with these type of seats or advice?

Stephen I noticed a few of these today, including some on the cross bar. I would suggest you take a leisurely ride from Glenelg along the seafront on a warm fine weekend day, you can always ask riders for their first hand experience.

Nope, not the front loaders.
My son and my daughter both used the seat behind arrangement - the lass used to go to sleep and hang out over the edge. They're a good investment.

I believe the front mounted seats are the way to go.
Pretty sure bike shops aren't supposed to sell the old rear ones these days
If your going to use a rear one just keep in mind its harder to keep an eye on your child.
When i was in Cuba i noticed lots of parents or grand parents had crafted their own....
The Japanese ones are the best for younger Children though.They are incorporated into the handle bar and stem.
If only someone imported them into aussieland for a reasonable price...
