Re: [RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?
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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

https://youtu.be/XvXqOx-Qqb8 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! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

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. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

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

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.

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

Re: [RBW] Re: Yepp Mini on Rivendell experiences?
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. Keith -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
