With a Yepp maxi on the back of my Clementine, I have found a double kickstand 
to be invaluable. Much safer for mounting and dismounting my squirmy 3-1/2 year 
old.

Another success with the Clementine this time.  I will say that balancing a 21# 
infant (yes she's huge!) As you load her in and then mount the bike takes some 
practice but the riding is great.  Can't wait for the warm weather to return 
for good so we can get some serious family cycling in!

I'm using a Tubus with a Yepp brand mount bolted to the top. It's not elegant

Here's a great comparison chart, including weight limits: 
http://www.twowheelingtots.com/child-bike-seat-comparison-guide

By the time mine hit the 33 lb weight limit on our Bobike mini, I was ready to 
switch to a back seat just for handling/weight distribution.

The iBert is MUSA, if that matters to anyone.

That said which front mounted seat has the highest capacity?  My baby is

Bombadil are just about the same TT length as the XO3 so I don't think they

though, I'll have to take a look at that even on the XO as I'm sure I could

Ha, lookin' good Tony!  I was initially trying to make my Schwinn High 
Plains a dedicated "dad bike" via the Yepp mini.  Turns out I had the same 
issue as you (knee knocker).  Riv bikes and they're tall headtubes make 
great candidates for the Yepp Mini because everything gets shifted UP UP UP.

Successful first ride, just around the block really but the Yepp Mini 
mounted up to my newly-Albatross'd XO-3 and even though Rebecca isn't a big 
fan of the helmet she tolerated it and seemed to enjoy the sensation.  With 
weather like we're getting right now we'll get in some riding early this 
year.  Thanks for all the info in this thread!

First impressions from riding with the Yepp are that at least for me it's a 
slight knee knocker, I'm going to try mounting a seat that can be set back 
a bit which will still be ok with the Alba bars.  I got used to it pretty 
quick but for a longer trip I'd like another inch of clearance.

Hi Tony,
We use a Lazer Bob helmet, the range is 46cm-52cm (Pretty small)... works 
great and comes in some fun patterns.

to sell?  Yepp Mini or iBert?  Hit me up off list. If not I think the 
Santa-Amazon-Claus will be making a stop at my place very soon! :)

I can't wait to get her out on the bike!

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[John Stowe]

I went with a Bobike since it seemed to give me a bit more clearance, 
though I think I was mostly concerned with knees. On my 58 Sam there's a 
little more top tube length to work with, but the front seat precluded 
standing up on the pedals or getting more than a toe down at stoplights. 
Definitely improved my trackstanding during that time. As others have 
mentioned, handlebars matter too: I went with Bosco Bullmoose's, which 
curve back nicely around (and put the bell within reach!). So far I haven't 
bothered to execute the original plan of using cable couplers to swap with 
Noodles, even now that my passenger has moved to a rear seat (Thule). I've 
gotten good at kicking my foot over the front (easier when dismounting, 
since my hips are slightly higher when I'm on the seat/standing on the 
pedals) but a Cheviot would certainly help now!

Another congrats to Tony, and an offer from your neighbor in Alexandria: 
you're welcome to try mounting my Bobike on your bike(s) and take it for a 
spin!

-J

Thanks again for the shared pictures and experiences, after the

try'... :)  It'll be a while though we're expecting our first child 
mid-June which I think puts Yepp mini eligibility somewhere in the 
winter-ish timeframe.

Re: [RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[David Stein]

It's also all about the handlebars. I had some flat-ish bars (Jitensha) and
although I could easily see over the kiddo, my chin was basically resting
on her helmet because I was too far leaned over (5'7", 48cm Hunq). I put on
some Albatrossbars and that gave me the clearance I needed, but now she's
grown to the point where I should probably move her to a rear seat (plus
she's edging in on the yepp mini weight limit). Good thing the second kid
just came along so I can continue to use it for a few more years.

[Keith Muller]

Tony, 

So Lucy, my wife and myself took a ride down to the tidal basin this morning 
the see the cherry blossoms.  My wife had Lucy on her Cheviot and had no 
problems seeing over her.  Like I said previously, her Cheviot is a 50cm frame. 
 Me wife is about 5'3" tall and didn't have any complaints about seeing over 
Lucy.  I'll post a photo later when I get home.

Keith

Re: [RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Great pic, Keith. I love how Lucy's using the bullmoose as a toe rest.


Tony,
I'm 5'7"-- on a tall day. I've had no problems seeing over my 3.5 yo. She's 
now on a Yepp Maxi (rear seat), as she's over the weight limit of the front.

Here's my kid shot w/me, standing, which is not much lower than when on the 
bike saddle (48-cm Hunqapillar):
https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/23883607522/in/datetaken/

I will say that riding with a kid on the rear seat is very different. 
Having the added weight between the wheels keeps the handling much easier, 
IME. Tail-wagging the dog feeling is a bit disconcerting, and 
mounting/dismounting and moving the bike while walking is more difficult 
(for me). 

Here's rear seat pic:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/25400970363/in/datetaken/

Good luck!
shoji

Re: [RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Keith Muller]

Tony,

I also installed a mount on my wife's 50cm Cheviot.  She hasn't ridden with the 
baby on yet, but I will let you know what her experience is.  I'm sure it 
depends on the baby.  Lucy is about 10 months old and 17 pounds so she's on the 
small side.

[Ryan Thompson]

Hey Dave, I love riding with the kids and use a combination of a Xtracycle 
free radical and the Bobike Mini City up front.  I'll echo what others have 
said about the lack of space between the saddle and child seat, so I have 
to run the saddle low enough to place a toe on the ground while sitting. 
 It's not ideal and makes riding a little more difficult especially hauling 
this bike loaded up hills.

[Dave]

Thanks guys. What Shoji and dstein mention is my experience as well: having 
to swing leg over rear of bike as opposed to being able to use the 
step-through. Makes me a bit nervous about stopping and standing while 
riding...

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[dstein]

Had one for a while on a Cheviot, once I was on the bike it was fine but I 
couldn't step through the frame to get on like I hoped I would be able to 
as there wasn't enough room so I had to swing my leg over the rear and 
mount that way. Once I was riding it was fine. I now use the Yepp mini on a 
quickbeam with albatross bars and it works fine there as well.

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Shoji Takahashi]

Hi Dave,
I use the Yepp Mini on my 48-cm Hunqapillar (effective top tube 54.5cm) 
with albatross bars. My PBH is 80/81 (saddle height ~70), and I'm 5'7".

Here's a pic (and there's more in the photostream):
https://www.flickr.com/photos/stakx/21356997484/in/datetaken/

How do you get on your bike? I swing my leg over the rear wheel, since the 
top tube gets in the way. Occasionally, if there's a top load on the rear 
rack, I can put my leg over the top tube (not preferred). I can't say that 
I have had problems with getting on/off with my daughter in the seat (she's 
now at the weight limit of the seat). 

The seat does require that I pedal with my knees slightly outward to keep 
from striking the bottom (minor nitpick). Also, the adapter keeps me from 
putting the bars a little bit lower, which I would prefer. 

Nevertheless, I do love the Yepp Mini. I ride my daughter to preschool in 
the morning, and I will miss it when she no longer is riding up in front. 
I'll be retiring the seat in the coming weeks as she's at the size/weight 
limit.

Good luck!
shoji

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[Deacon Patrick]

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.

With abandon,
Patrick

[RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?

[David Banzer]

Hi Dave,
Can you post a photo? I'm trying to decide which front carrier to go with 
and I'd be interested to see what the Yepp Mini looks like on a Cheviot. 
I'd be putting one on a Clem.
Thanks,
David
