More recently, going on a bike ride, parents could not take their kids with them. The reason is simple - a bicycle seat for children could not be found on store shelves. I had to either fold the blanket several times and screw it onto the frame, or put the baby on the trunk and hope for the strength of his children's hands.
But the situation has changed radically! Now you can find a great suitable model at a very reasonable price. The variety of models and knowledge of the main characteristics allows you to determine how to choose a bicycle seat for a child with the highest degree of protection. Pay special attention to the fact that the baby's feet should never touch the pedals and wheels of the bicycle. It is better if the chair is equipped with special stands and fastening straps, so that even when riding on bumps and a rocky road, the legs could not slip off the steps and get into the rotating elements of the bicycle.
When choosing a bicycle seat for children, it is also important to pay attention to the height of the back of the chair, the depth of the seat and the closed profile on the sides. In the event of an accident, just such a profile will ensure a minimum of injuries.
Of course, the rear bicycle seat will not allow the baby to enjoy the view of the road, but this model has its advantages. There is no danger for a child to be afraid of something unfamiliar on the road, all landscapes are perfectly visible, and you can always hide from the headwind behind your father’s back. Does this chair not interfere with driving, does it limit turns? and the cyclist sits in a comfortable pose.
A comfortable front bicycle seat for the child will provide not only a good overview, but also the complete safety of your baby. Such a device is mounted very simply and reliably, and in the event of an unforeseen fall of the bicycle, seat belts will reduce its consequences. In addition, such a bicycle seat for children provides constant access to the baby. You can always see how the child feels, what he wants and whether it is convenient for him. It happens that the smallest passengers fall asleep while driving, and therefore make sure that the seat has a tightened cross strap, it is upholstered in a comfortable and soft fabric. And if the back angle is still changing - this will be the best option! Children are very fond of sitting in front, holding the wheel and imagining that it is they who manage the big bike, and the front seat just completely meets all the needs of the child and parents. And one more important point - your trunk will be free for other things absolutely necessary for a walk.
Before you choose and buy a bicycle seat for children, read the instructions. On sale are models for different age groups. This will provide greater comfort to your baby. And carefully read the installation methods. Although they are quite simple and uncomplicated, it’s better to check once again the availability of all necessary parts and accessories.
Cycling with children is a great way to spend time with your family. Picnics, trips to the cottage, to the river, for mushrooms and much more - all this is now available even with a one-year-old baby. Do not forget to bring helmets, warm clothes and a supply of water with you - this will make the walk even more enjoyable and safe.
