A WeeRide seat enables you and your toddler to share the adventure and enjoyment of cycling by enhancing the riding experience through superior control and comfort for both you and your baby on almost any bike.

Remember you can buy a WeeRide in the UK from weerideuk.co.uk.
"The bike felt balanced and really easy to manoeuvre. This was particularly noticable at low speed. At speed, it was less about the balance of the bike (which was fantastic) but the interaction with the co-pilot..perched up front was more engaged with the ride and the rider"
The review continues and says more really powerful things
This is a hugely significant difference between a WeeRide and rear-mounted seats.
Because the child falls asleep between your arms, on the balance of the bike you can continue riding safely - not usually the case with a rear-mounted seat.
This means you can go for day trips and not worry about the journey home when the little one will be asleep within 5 mins!

We're delighted to announce that we've installed a Store Locator on the website.
We've grown the number of Bicycle and Baby stores that stock our wonderful seat from about 40 to about 200 - and finding which one is closest to you was getting harder and harder - hopefully this will make it a bit easier.
We occasionally get parents keen to buy a WeeRide, who look at the maximum weight guidelines (18 Kilos), look at their child and think the seat will be too small or they'll out-grow it too quickly - they're wrong!
Firstly, it's important to remember that for babies, the first year of life is a time when they grow very rapidly. On average, a 3.2kg baby will end its first year at around 10kg, more than triple its birth weight. Growth slows down in the second year with, on average, two to three kilos added each year until the next major growth 'spurt' at puberty
So when can you start using a WeeRide, and when will your child out-grow it?
The short answer is that in Australia there is no law that specifies a minimum age, although the law requires that child must wear a helmet. That said - common sense would suggest it's around the age of 1 - since that is when a baby's neck is strong enough to hold a helmet. Of course all childern are different, we started riding with our daughter when she was about 10 months old, following advice from our GP..
