Yepp - Junior Basic Rear Seat - Black

Product Information

Once you’ve decided on a seat placement, there are a few other factors to consider. Child bike seats come in different sizes, so be sure to choose one that will fit your child comfortably. And, just as with adult bikes, it’s important to make sure that the child’s bike seat is properly installed and securely fastened. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, younger children may not be strong enough to support their own weight on a bike seat, which can lead to them becoming fatigued and uncomfortable. Secondly, younger children may not have the necessary balance and coordination to stay upright on a bike seat. The Thule Yepp Mini fits babies and toddlers from 12 months to 3 years of age or 33 pounds. Thule markets their seat to work with babies as young as 9 months, but also recommends consulting a pediatrician before using the Thule Yepp Mini with a baby younger than 1. After testing the Thule Yepp Mini with my 2.5-year-old who currently weighs 29 pounds, I found the Thule Yepp Mini seat to accommodate older toddlers extremely well in comparison to smaller front-mounted child bike seats like the Hamax Observer or Peg Perego Orion. You may also consider the Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini seat. This seat only offers a standard mount, but the standard mount is slightly slimmer and some mountain bikers have had better success.

This front bike seat is suitable for babies, as well as toddlers, from about 9 months until about 3 years old.

Another advantage of a rear seat is that it is more stable than a front seat. This is because the weight of the child is spread over a larger area, which helps to keep the bike more stable.

This type of seat is incredibly popular in Holland, where you see lots of primary school-aged children being carried this way. So, what is the best child bike seat for your family? It depends on your needs and preferences, but the seat you choose should be safe, comfortable, and properly installed. Can you put a child seat on any bike? Riding with the Thule Yepp Mini only slightly affected my pedal stroke. I really didn’t have to splay my legs much as I rode. I had anticipated that there would be more interference. When it comes to choosing the right bike seat for your child, there are a few things to consider. One of the most important factors is the age of your child. Child bike seats typically go up to a weight limit of around 40-45 pounds. With a head tube-mounted seat an issue that may crop up is that there's not enough space between the bike seat and your saddle. This will depend on the combination of the geometry of your bike, your height and the seat. Seat nameThe first key difference between the two seats is that the Yepp Nexxt Maxi is a bit larger than the Yepp Maxi. This means that it can accommodate a child up to 55 pounds, compared to the Yepp Maxi’s weight limit of 33 pounds. The Yepp Nexxt Maxi is also a bit taller, which can be helpful if your child is taller than average.

There are a few things to consider when choosing the best child bike seat for your family. The first decision is between a rear- or front-mounted seat. Rear-mounted seats are more common and generally considered safer, as they keep the child away from the traffic. However, front-mounted seats are growing in popularity, as they can offer a better view of the road and more interaction with the rider. The image above gives you the measurements on the standard mount for the Thule Yepp Mini to help you identify if your bike has enough room or clearance for this mount.I found the Thule Yepp Mini to be more comfortable to ride with than other front-mounted bike seats I’ve used. This was largely due to the shape of the seat, rounded edges, and material of the seat. Not only does your child enjoy these features, but you as the rider will benefit as well! All the rear seats we've looked at so far have been designed for smaller children, but once your child grows out of their first rear seat you can continue to carry them using the Yepp Junior seat - usually between the ages of 5 and about 9. Some complain that the shoulder straps are hard to adjust on older kids. I found it only to be a slight inconvenience to adjust. I did, however, find that the padding on the shoulder straps doesn’t line up as perfectly with older kid’s shoulders. I found myself spending more time adjusting the shoulder pads than adjusting the actual shoulder strap length. The other option would be to just get the Clubhouse and use it with no kid seats. This could work fine if your 3 yo is pretty calm and you aren’t doing long rides. A lot of kids even do well sleeping in a Clubhouse. Mine aren’t big fans of it though. They get upset if they don’t feel supported while sleepy. Like most front-mounted bike seats, the Thule Yepp Mini only has one height option for the shoulder straps. You can lengthen or shorten the shoulder straps to accommodate different heights, but the straps can’t be physically moved up or down to better adjust to the height of the rider (like in a car seat).

You can attach the standard mount directly to the steer tube by removing handlebars and spacers. You will of course only be able to do this if you have enough spacers to remove to then replace with the standard mount. One of the most popular bike seats is the Yepp Junior Bike Seat. This seat is designed for children who are between the ages of 2 and 6 years old. It is made of durable materials, and it is adjustable to fit children of different sizes. The seat is also easy to install, and it can be attached to most types of bikes. There are different types of child bike seats available on the market, but the two main types are front and rear. So, which one is safer?When choosing a child seat, make sure it is properly fitted and adjusted to the child. The seat should be at the correct height and the child should be securely strapped in. All front-mounted bike seats will interfere with your (1) pedal stroke, and (2) riding space. The shorter the rider, the more problematic the seat may be. For reference, I am a shorter rider at 5’4″. (1) Pedal Stroke There has been some speculation over the past few weeks that Thule, the Swedish car equipment company, has bought Yepp, the Dutch manufacturer of child bike seats.
