I never got around to trying this last autumn and stuck with our initial
set-up through the remainder of '18, but ended up building up a winter bike
with the Chocomoose bars which remains my only ride ready bike to date
after a move in July and most bike stuff remaining packed for now... so I
I also have my Chocomoose bars installed on another partially built bike in
storage and might test the Yepp Mini with it later this autumn and will
post an update and pics if I get around to it.

I had flip-flopped multiple times on the front vs rear debate before
ultimately buying the front Yepp. We knew we wanted a bike mounted seat
and a trailer was ruled out almost immediately for us mostly due to storage
space constraints, as well the fact that most of our riding would be on
Hi Eric,
I had a great experience with my son on the rear mount "Co-Pilot" on my
Clem.
It worked great for the first 1-2 years of riding with him, but as he got
older and heavier around 2.5-3 yrs (he's 4..5 now) the disproportion of
weight became a bit of a bother on hills heading back home,
I guess I’m in the minority, but I’ve ridden one bike with a kid up front and
it was extremely uncomfortable (weird handling, uncomfortable positioning for
any sort of distance, wonky/bendy all plastic construction etc.). It wasn’t a

Yup, get da Yepp. Got one for my nephew around 1yo and it was his favorite
thing, he would pat his head to let us know he wanted to put his helmet on
and ride! Not only are you cradling them up front but they get to see the
world as you roll, rather than just your back. Yepp to strider bike to
Throwing my hat in the ring for a Yepp Mini front seat. Holds up to 33 lbs.
I used for both of my kids. I can't remember when I started, but I want to
say 18-24 months. You need to get a bike with enough top tube so have room.
I'm short (5'7") so it's an issue for me, and I had some trial and
I’ve really enjoyed the Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini the past few months on a Clem and
our 14mo. old loves being front and center... and I love having him right there
in front of me where I could easily engage with and talk to him during the
ride. The seat also unlocks and disengages easily for an

Hi Justin,
Have you considered a bike trailer, such as a Burley? They are safer in
that, if you take a tumble on the bike, the trailer stays upright. No need
for a tuck and roll maneuver! Many people mount a tall flag on the trailer
as well to increase visibility for cars. Also, the child is
After some research I decided on a front seat for the potential to tuck and
roll with the kid. I guess I can talk to her also. 邏 were going with a Thule
Yepp Mini. I have had some really gracious offers from the list to sell me
theirs but the wife wants a new product for this and I never buy
Hi Eric,
Counterpoint: I really enjoyed having my kids on a front seat. I don't know
if "safer" is accurate, or how one is measuring that.
I had a Yepp Mini from ~1-yo to ~3-yo. My kids were on the smaller side.
Unlike front bags, front seats don't effect steering in the same [flop] way
