We've been riding 3-5 times a week for about 6 weeks. He hasn't complained about the seat, so I assume he's fine. I give him a little warning before we hit a bump so he's aware/not surprised. He's so far never come even close to falling off. He just turned 3.5.

Hi Aria...the seat itself is hard plastic, but since your child is right between your legs, you can squeeze them and make them comfortable and safe.We live in Michigan, land of potholes and it's really unlikely that the child would fall off the bike, unless you dumped the whole bike somehow...I would not worry about this.Regards.

The seat is not hard to sit on and it's not that high off the floor where you have too worry about the child falling. Also my husband added a small walnut stop at the back of the seat, so you can only go back so far.

I used with all 3 children from 6 months once they could sit unaided and wear a cycle helmet comfortably. I found the seat wasn't as comfortabel for child/parent once they turned 30 months.

I'm 5-3 it works for me. The seat can be adjusted to your comfort level. Hope this helps. Check the specifications before you buy it.

I purchased this seat for my 3 year old daughter (she's tiny only 25 lbs) but my 15 month old has used it before. I would say it would be suitable for a child that has been sitting up unassisted for a while...maybe 12+ months. Not sure what the manufacturer recommends.

My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it. I think the problem that you would have is that at some point he will either be too snug in the seat or too tall to be contained in the seat (there are straps which will raise his butt up higher if his legs get long). It seems sturdy enough that 30# would not tear the seat out or cause the seat to break off of the grooves. If I'm wrong, you have a broken toy but probably a safe baby as he will only be at standing height. That said, my attorney advises that you decide for yourself what to do with your child. For me, this is a reliable 30 minutes of parental freedom and I intend to keep putting my kid in it so long as he fits and continues to enjoy it. My 23#er isn't putting any stress on it.

I love this seat, but PLEASE DO NOT put a 1 yr old in it! In fact, no child under 3 should be in it due to it being a ff seat. They should be kept rear facing as long as possible. *EMT-B and Car seat safety specialist

The seat is already almost touching the frame, so I would say not much, if at all. I would add that this is not a bike you sit on like a normal bike: the child needs to be able to stand over the seat and walk or run and then sit down on the seat. If the child is too small they have to sit when they are pushing and that is not comfortable. I tried having my 4 year old use it last year but she was too small. This year, at 5, it is much better and she enjoys it.

Yes the child seat seemed to come off very easily. We didn't have any kind of step stool for our 3 yr old to get up on the toilet and I found that when he climbed up & scooted hit bottom back & forth to position himself that little child seat would unsnap nearly every time. Was kind of a pain. He's almost 4 now & no longer uses it. He just sits on regular seat.

I use this car seat for my son who is 3 (turned 3 in august) and he weighs 32lbs. There are multiple strap settings and my son fits well in this seat.

My son, 3yrs, can use it fine with the step stool because it stays in place. However, we also use the Bemis downstairs and it is great. We just wanted a seat that is mobile also, for that, the pourty is perfect. I found other popular seats to be way too unstable to trust him alone.

Hi,my daughter is turning 4, she is 100cm, she can sit in side comfortable. My boy is 2 years old, so he has not problem with it. Last time my friend's daughter who is 115cm, I found it's too small for her.

I have not had a problem with the kid seat at all. It comes off, which is good. But it's not like it comes off so easily that a kid sits on it and it comes off. I would defiantly recommend this seat, you'll be happy you did. Much easier to care for then the other options.

Hello Lora,3 month!? I think is more confortable for 10 months/1 year old, because the seat is more upright. But for the wheight (14 lbs) shoud be no problem.Regards,José Gomes

The more important thing is the stage your child is at. Can they sit up on their own, and are they under the recommended weight limit per seat (I think it was 35 pounds but not 100% sure)? My twin boys started using this at about 5.5 months. So it is more making sure your child is ready and about to sit in a regular seat (though it can recline as well); they should be able to support their own head/neck and sit without much help before this.

The seat has a little bit of padding. I would say that it is definitely comfortable enough to sit on for 10-30 minutes. Sorry it took me so long to reply!!! 'Tis the season!

This was a wonderful purchase. My son still fit in his Britax which we transferred him to when he was 1 1/2. However, now since he was 5 I purchased two of these for each of our cars. The Frontier I like because of the 5 point. I was involved in a very bad car accident. This seat will save his life, verses a booster. My son is 47 pounds and will be turning 6 soon. He will be able to sit in this for about another 3 years. He says it is comfortable and he likes the arm rests and cup holders. He also falls a sleep in this with no problem. I strongly recommend it to you.
