Looking to add some padding &amp; have my 75 lb. 9 year old ride in this for longer trips. Great/horrible idea? Would love some feedback!

My m wave works really well to carry stuff to the beach as I built a PVC frame that gives it more capacity. At times we use it to carry our dog on bike trips. However, I would not think it would be safe to carry a child, especially at 75 lbs. I would suggest the the Trek tandem bike which allows them to help pedaling when the feel like it.

I think this is a great seat! I average 10 to 30 mile rides with no discomfort. I did a 70 mile ride last year and was sure glad I had it. My butt was about the only thing that wasn't sore!

I think it is more of a size thing rather than age. My daughter is tiny, but still on it and has been for over a year now. I wouldn't go more than probably 80 pounds on it.

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel. Have you looked into coaster bikes?

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

We have only had it about a week and we have only had our 2 year old in it for a little while. The chest straps are pretty loose on her but I think you could tighten them up a bit. I wouldn't put a young baby in there as there isn't too much structure to the whole seat. It is comfortable for my 2 year old but we haven't used it enough to tell. Sorry!

Hi Kitty! I think the trailer is great for commuting but I'm not sure that I would do a long tour with it. It handles my 57lb dog just fine but I think I would want the quality, reliability and availability of parts if I was going to be out on the open road. It's a great trailer for the money but just not something I would trust touring. A Burley or something comparable would be money well spent if you can afford it. Happy Trails! Dan

It's just the right size for my 4 year old boy. The weight limit is 65 lbs. My 8 year old daughter got on it and she was cramped on it. So if your son is on the smaller side he could maybe ride it for a summer or so! I would look at something a little bit bigger.

We did not feel comfortable on this seat either, but, rather then replace the seat we bought the 2x sunlite cloud-9, Gel bicycle seat cover, seems to be working well for us, just something you might consider rather then changing the seat. Hope this helps you Jason.

Hi! I found this info on their website:https://www.rideoncarryon.com/faq.phpBTW...LOVED this item!!!

We have the r100. My sister has the rxt. Her baby was in it from 3 months and we didn't put ours in until 9 months. I think if you are using it for a smaller baby you'll want the extra padding. I've heard the wings at the top are not very useful and make it hard to fit rear facing. Heard this from other reviews when I was researching. My sister's kids aren't tall enough to reach them yet. I felt the extra approximately $80 wasn't worth it.

I am in the same situation as you and I'm keeping my daughter in it until 40 lbs. then you can take out the 5 pt harness and use it as a booster with a seat belt.

The seat isn't big enough. It seems dangerous to me. I would recommend something with two seats. My grandkids love theirs.

I have an almost 2 year old who still rides in it. He is about 30 lbs. If she sits well then she will do fine. However, I would consider the double version of this as well. I love this one, but it is a little squishy once the child gets about 2. I wish I would've gotten the double version of this.

My 5 year old is 42 in and we went with the 14 in. Which was perfect. With the seat in the lowest setting she is still about 1/2 an inch from having her feet flat on the ground. She should be able to ride the 14 in for another 2 years I'd say. It's tempting to go with the larger size since they can use it longer, but a bigger/heavier bike is more difficult to learn to ride on if your kid is still learning to ride w/o training wheels. Im very happy I went with the 14 in
