Yup on the Yepp. I think I had to swing straight into the seat, lean the bike slightly, and tiptoe to get on/off/going. Awkward. There is inadequate space between my seat and the Yepp (and other kid-in-front carriers we tried), not to mention the change in handling. We ended up going with a cargo bike for my wife instead.
