Frequently Asked Questions
WeeRide meets the strictest of Safety Standards which is teh European EN14344.
This is a very thorough standard that most countries will take as proof of a child bike seats safety.
In Australia and the US there are bike seat standards that we meet, but none specific to front or centre seats like EN14344.
There are many seats out there that do not meet standards.
They may say they meet "some" of the parts, but that is no use.
If the seat does not have protection for the child or does not have proper restraints, it clearly is not going to be safe in an accident.
On a WeeRide if you brake suddenly, your child is firmly kept in their seat by a 5 point safety strap.
WeeRide....CHILD SAFETY...OUR PRIORITY
EASY.
Installation should only take around 10 minutes.
Here's a video.

YES, IT SHOULD FIT ALL STANDARD BIKES.
The WeeRide is designed to fit a wide range of bikes, including those with oversized head tubes and is the only bike seat to fit on full suspension mountain bikes.
With the space under the headset getting smaller sometimes you will need our Universal Stem Adaptor ie if the space under the headset is under 5mm or your top tube is too wide for our bar to get over ie 45mm+

YES.
The first bike that we put a WeeRide on an was Apollo LSX 1.2.
Don't use the bike anymore - but happily rode with our daughter for well over 2 years on it. Although it's hanging on the wall now - but as you can see it's cables run along the top. So I'd say yes - it will fit.
In fact you used to be able to see our daughter on the home page of http://weeride.com/ sitting on the seat of that bike - they've changed the photos now.

You can remove the child carrier itself from the steel support bar quite easily - it is attached by a single thumb screw - for putting the bike on a carrier, or if you wish to ride without the carrier. The bar on which the carrier is mounted remains on the bicycle and does not interfere with normal riding.

NO.
BUT you do need to alter your riding style slightly to accommodate for the WeeRide.
I've surveyed my customers twice - and have specifically asked them about this - on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being totally, 1 being not all at) people agreed that the WeeRide is a 2 of 5 (slightly) for leg position, and a 1 out of 5 (not at all) for arms.
In both surveys I also asked customers - given this and knowing what they know now - would they prefer a WeeRide or a rear-mounted seat - in both surveys - 100% of customers wouldn't swap the WeeRide!
I would be stunned if the pleasure of riding and interacting with your little one isn't 1000 times better than a slight leg adjustment.
YES.
AND does it fit around their shoulders and how tight can they be strapped in?
Children who have mastered the art of wriggling off the shoulder straps and clipping their car seat have been unable to get out of the WeeRide harness.
If you purchase a seat and it does not fit a bicycle with the aforementioned specifications, please return it to the point of purchase for a full refund.

The weight guidelines for front bike seats are set by EU (15kgs) and US (18kgs).
They are set low as they are based on seats that attach to the handlebars where it is clearly dangerous to have too much weight.
Our seat doesn’t attach in this way which is why it is unique.
It actually improves the balance of the bike as the patented bar puts all the baby weight in the centre of the bike.
Weight is never the factor that stops a child using the seat, it is height.
Because kids have different body and leg make ups, and bikes have different geometries, we don’t give an official height.
We just generalise and say height issue normally occurs at aged 4.
My eldest could still just fit in the seat at 5.
My youngest who is very big for his age started at 6 months and only just fitted at 4. If he could fit, any kid would 🙂
For quality reasons the WeeRide seat is currently manufactured in Taiwan or Portugal in excellent companies.
The company is wholly Australian owned and we are proud that our Australian company distributes the best baby bike seat into all corners of the world.
Installed weight is just over 7lbs/3.2Kgs.
Are you sure? Looks can be deceptive and it isn’t the chunky part of the front of the bracket you need to fit. It is the thin part on the other side and they only needs 5mm. Try, it normally fits.
Then you will need one of our adaptors. Please email mat@weeride.com.au a picture of the full side of your bike and he will advise.
There are two ways to resolve this. Create an angle in the bar. Or attach a small piece of self amalgamating tape to the weld to give the bar grip.
Email mat@weeride.com.au with your question and a picture from the side of your bike.
