Frame mounted seats

A child bike seat is essential if you want to ride your little one safely. Before buying a seat, you should consider whether the seat mount is suitable for your bike. There are three main types of seats, depending on how and where they are attached: front, frame, and carrier mounted. Front seats are best when your child is still small. These seats, which are designed for the smallest, usually have a weight limit of up to 15 kg and are attached to the protruding part of the handlebar. When your child is a little older, you can choose seats with a weight limit of up to 25 kg, which are attached to the frame and the child sits in front of you, or onto the carrier so the child sits behind you.

As summer approaches, parents who cycle want to take their little ones with them. Older children can join their parents on their bikes, while younger ones can sit in the back or front seat and enjoy the passing views. There are many different types of child seats, but it is important to pay attention to certain factors when choosing one.

From what age can children be transported?

Children can be transported in a seat from the age of one - when traveling abroad, the minimum age may differ, so it is important to check the laws of the destination country. In some European countries, children can be transported from the age of 9 months. Before buying aseat, don't forget to buy another important piece of safety equipment: a helmet. If your child is too small to wear a helmet, cycling will also have to be postponed.

Which child seat should you choose?

The most popular car seats are those that are installed on the back of a bicycle. Seats that are mounted on the front of the bike are usually less common. It is important to note that not all bikes can be equipped with seats. If you are installing the seat on a rear rack, check if there are specially prepared holes in the frame near the rear wheel. The seats are attached to the frame with an additional clamp included in the kit near the tube, so these seats are quite universal. Rear seats may not be suitable if the bike has full suspension.

When buying a seat, it is recommended that it has a foot protector and that the child's legs do not interfere with the driver's seat. The seat should also have suitable straps that ensure the child's safety. The straps do not put too much pressure on the child and allow him to breathe properly. All these factors are perfectly combined in reliable, high-quality and unique seats from manufacturer Bellelli.

When buying a front or rear seat, it is important to compare their advantages and disadvantages. Although front seats allow the child to see more, in the event of an accident the child may get more bruises, as the cyclist usually falls straight down. Also, if the child throws rubbish, it can get caught between the front wheels and interfere with steering. Children sitting in the back seat are less likely to disturb the cyclist, get dirty or get injured, but sometimes children in such seats can be injured when the cyclist gets on or off the bike.

When choosing a seat, also consider its installation and the maximum permissible weight of the child. Usually child seats can withstand 9-22 kg and are attached to the frame or rear rack, so they are suitable for children up to 3-4 years old. Depending on the design and materials used, they can weigh up to 6-7 kg. Choose seats that are easy to install and remove from the bike, which makes it easier to plan trips with children or alone.

Child seats are a great way for children to spend more time with you and be in the fresh air. You can help your children get interested in cycling from a young age, so there's a good chance they'll join you when they grow up.
