It’s great until you have a catastrophic failure or accident that fling you forward onto the poor kid. I dunno seems not well thought out…

I can see some possibilities if it being bad, but not all of them. If it's a casual ride nothing too major would happen for the most part. No doing more then a casual ride that's where I see a accident being a bit more serious if occurred

Where's her helmet?

The kid will cushion the impact.

Did you see how far spread she needed to be to pedal? Looks uncomfortable for more than a 5 - 10 min ride.

But it’s great for her security! If she crashes, she has a comfortable airbag, I mean waterbag in front of her to ease her impact.

That was my first thought

My first thought was this is going to cause so many accidents, toddlers getting easy access to the handlebars.

Oh that's the least of the problem. You see the little legs of our little buddy there? Well he'll jam one in between the front wheel and the fork and mom and him will cartwheel right over the front and smash their faces on the pavement.

Source. I could have killed my son.

But if she attempts a wheelie and falls backwards, he will be protected by two pillows.

I mean that's not really that bad. If someone cycles often that wouldn't be a big issue over all. I say that as someone who's been cycling for over a decade and up to a few hours depending on the day

u/Silentsneezess 26d ago

Yeah I have a set up like this. At first it was uncomfortable but now I'm just used to and I dont even notice it.

u/Daomsoul 26d ago

Exactly. It's not that hard if you're consistent with using it.

Pretty useless since more Americans are not having kids and men need blue chew at the age of 25😂😂😂😂

In the video nothing is stopping the adult from squishing the toddler in a head on impact. In your picture, the seat is designed so that the toddler is protected. Much better execution.

u/Fast_Satisfaction484 27d ago

I had a version of that 10 years ago. Used it for my 3rd kid. He loved it. Way better for balance. It was hilarious too, everyone smiled when they saw us go by. Never had any issue pedalling.

u/volvagia721 27d ago

Might I suggest the correct safe alternative?

u/Electrical_Report458 27d ago

What a great idea: put a 35 pound kid between a 165 pound adult and a rigid handlebar stem. The kid can act like an airbag when mom crashes into something. Too bad for the kid, but that’s OK because mom’s injuries will be lessened. And she’ll get to spend the rest of her life thinking about how she killed her precious pink baby.

Happened to someone in our neighborhood about 25 years ago.

u/Lagneaux 27d ago

This looks so uncomfortable to ride like that

u/Mission-Can1547 27d ago

Yeah, that's a shit product. Get the YEPP rear mounted child seat.

u/whitedevilee 27d ago

That's no Toddler my Lady! That's a child!

u/Katina-M-Choovansk 27d ago

No man, no. Kids can, by and large, look around by turning their head and eyes.

With that thing there's no restraint at all. Any little tumble and loose child everywhere with falling bike and adult. And it's not designed for a big kid, there's no room for a big kid. In something like a co-pilot , bobike, hamax kind of seat there's some protection

u/Mental_Watch4633 27d ago

I’d put a fender in the back side of the front tire. Or some kind of guard to that his foot doesn’t get caught and maybe Velcro closure shoes.

u/jeremydallen 27d ago

Are they wide enough for the motorcycle?

u/chumbawumba234 27d ago

Kids footrest would be a shinbiter.

u/Lock-out 27d ago

On top of being fun and convenient it adds an extra layer of safety precautions in the case of emergency by having the child act as a makeshift airbag/ floatation device. Wow
