Co-Pilot Taxi Child Seat with rear rack

I think this is a GREAT bike seat. We recently purchased one for our 14month old son. He LOVES it! He thinks it's the most exciting thing when we wear our helmets and go fast!

The seat itself is light, has 3 recline positions as well as upright, is cushioned, has a great grab bar and adjustable foot rests. It comes high enough up to support their neck without getting in the way of a helmet, and has great side protection without feeling encased. I fully trust that in the event of an accident my son would be as protected as possible.

It has one other great feature, the grab bar doubles as a stand when the seat has been taken off of the bike, so it is possible to use it as a sort of kiddy seat if you happen to be out and about.

I would however say that it's not quite as easy on and off as it appears. Be quick and keep your fingers out of the way when releasing from the rack. If you're too slow or get distracted it gives a nasty pinch. I know from painful experience.

That said I would still choose this seat over any of the others, it's just the best in my opinion.

A very solid seat which we started using regularly from 9 months. The grab bar is a useful extra - DS used to rest his head on it to sleep - so I think he finds it comfy. It is more expensive but as our journey is longer than average, well worth the money.

This is a fantastic child seat for an infant - from about 9 months to age 4. The seat comes complete with a rack which attaches firmly to the seat post and also to the wheel, and then the seat slots into the rack firmly. There is no way that the seat is going to leave the bike - so you feel that your child is very safe behind you. The seat comes with padding for the child to sit on (more comfy for them, a five point harness to stop them escaping, plus a pull-down bar for them to rest on/fall asleep on. There are footrests built in for the child's feet and straps so that you can restrain their feet (to stop them kicking you - although our kids never have done so far!). The rack can also be used to hold panniers to your bike (although not at the same time as the child seat unfortunately). There is a reflector on the back of the seat, and it also says 'co-pilot' on the back - which always makes me smile. Our 2 kids love the bike seat, and enjoy shouting 'faster faster' to us when on the back. This is a more expensive bike seat than the usual run-of-the-mill one, but I have always felt that safety is the most important thing and felt really confident using this seat.
