Thule Yepp Maxi rack mount child seat

I am in love with this chair! My hometown is Seattle, where there are plenty of families who ride their bikes to school with their kids, and this is THE seat that you see everywhere. As a result, when I found a great deal on one through Amazon Warehouse, I bought it even though I did not yet own a bike to use it on. ) I have since added an Xtracycle Free Radical to the back of my hybrid bike, and have Flightdeck 2 is much more convenient for my Free Radical as it has Easyfit windows built-in The adapter is on the top), a slightly more stable position. While I had to take a minute to realize that I had to cut out the Easyfit window from Flightdeck 2, it was easy to do once I did. I did this quickly since it had an indent on the bottom that indicated where to cut. Having done so, it was easy to install the Yepp Maxi Easyfit securely. Having the lock included is a nice feature, so I can just lock my bike up when I'm out and about, and I won't have to worry about someone stealing my The school bus that drops my almost 3 year old off at school has a free-moving section We are off. The weight of her is about 35 pounds. It was a comfortable fit for her, and she has plenty of room to grow before she outgrows her seat. Bike riding is one of her favourite things to do and she wants to do it all the time. The shoulder straps were sliding off of her shoulders, as well, but turning the harness up to the highest setting and tying the two ends together to create a sort of chest belt has completely fixed the While even though it took a little getting used to, having her weight back there does make the bike less stable, especially when turning sharply, but so far, nothing has gone wrong. The friends of mine who have dumped their bikes with their kids on board a wonderful job of shielding and protecting the occupant from In the past I used panniers (Ortlieb Backrollers) on my Free Radical's front wheel I also have a pair of Xtracycle X1 Freeloader bags, and those work too. These racks and bags fit just fine in front of the seat, side by side. You probably won't be able to fit panniers or bags on a regular rack with a seat The X2 bags that come with this seat do not work well. The material is soft and rubbery, which is very comfortable for the child, and it is also great in rainy Seattle as it repels water better than fabric. Our trailer also comes with a Burley front seat, as well as a Bobike Mini front seat. My son outgrew the front seat a few months ago, so now we use the Yepp Maxi or the trailer. The front seat is great for young children as it allows them to point things out and talk, and it doesn't impact the handling of the bike. It is usually the Yepp Maxi that I prefer Compared to the front seat, it does affect the handling of the bike somewhat, and it's not quite as good for conversing as it could be, but it's good nonetheless. It's my choice on rainy or cold days, since my daughter can be secured like a baby in a trailer with a blanket and rest assured she won't be exposed to One of those three options would probably be the Yepp Maxi if I had to choose only one to transport a kid. You can use it all year long and it lasts longer and is more fun than a trailer on all but the coldest, wettest the wettest The seat fits a size JJ Cole Bundle Me quite well! bike/rack that's compatible with this seat, I highly recommend it! A version that is easy to fit.

The price is quite high, and I had to purchase a rack adapter for it to fit my bike. The bag looks really cool, and I was able to attach my flashing rear light by sliding a zip tie through the place where the shoulder straps are not being utilized. Hule makes a light for $30 that can fit on your back, but in reviews, it seemed to be lacking in blinking features. As a result, I purchased this for safety and for mounting two of these on the back of my cargo bike, if I purchase one. As you know, the Thule Yepp Maxi weighs around 10 pounds, while the Yepp Nexxt is supposed to weigh around half that amount, which is important to remember since all racks have a maximum We used to have a hard plastic Co Pilot seat with a thin layer of padded padding, and I liked the added comfort this seat provided over our previous seat. My son had started sliding his arms out from under the plastic chest harness that slides up so the straps are over the shoulder, and then he slid his arms out from under it like he was climbing out of his car seat with the 2 point harness. Rather than being strapped in at the shoulder, he is now strapped in only at the waist, a far superior design for There are two parts of the buckle that you need to press on to open. This makes it more secure. In addition, the foot rests can be adjusted! I bought this suit for my 2 year old who is a little taller than average. There are two foot straps I like more on the copilot, both make use of velcro, making for a perfect snug fit for those always changing foot sizes. The copilot version even works As there are numerous glowing reviews about the Thule, I anticipate they will work out well as the seat uses a belt style strap with holes that are about an inch apart. have yet to receive my seat adapter so I can attach it to the bike, but my kid immediately climbed into the seat as I was holding A few reflectors on the back of the thule seat also catch my eye. The flashing rear light will be secured without a zip tie, as I did it with the co-pilot, who used extra shoulder strap harnesses not in use. I find it a little heavy, but my kid is 30 pounds so I don't mind. The setup I am using for this car isn't geared to winning races. The pros are Feel at ease, safe, and at peace. The cons are Also, I wanted a harness that would provide a greater level of security). My favorite foot straps are a little overpriced, but it should be fine. It probably won't fit on any rack, you may need an adapter that costs around $50 or a Thule rack that costs around $70. 00. There were dozens of bike stores and websites that mentioned the Thule Yepp Maxi, as well as reviews about safety. My only desire would be if there were more colors to choose from, neon safety green would be ideal. Blue seemed to show up the reflectors better than orange, so I went with it.

The summary is If the size fits your toddler, then this is a great bike seat for them. Based on Thule's reputation for high quality, it is built to that standard. had hoped this seat would last my child at least a couple of years, but it is too small for his size (*42") as it is, and so has to be returned. The pros are I. - It is built to survive challenges in extreme weather conditions, is made from an excellent material, and is comfortable for long or bumpy rides. Quite worthy of the Thule reputation - Despite coming intact and very well packaged, the package has a few cons. I. - I feel the length is too short for my 4 y/o, at 42" it has little room to grow. *oTer Although it is not necessarily a concern with this particular Thule seat, my toddler often falls asleep during rides (as many toddlers do) and there is some concern that toddlers in this style of seat strain their necks while they sleep. Thule or other manufacturers of bike seats should create a neck brace or adapter to protect kids' necks when they fall asleep in their bike seats when they.
