Front mounted kids seat for women's bike

Post by Amycyclesstill »

I am looking for a front mounted bike seat to fit onto my Liv Alight 3. I have looked at loads and can only find ones that fit men's, horizontal cross bar bikes or at least that's what the images suggest. But my bike has quite an angled cross bar.
Does anyone know have any recommendations? It's preferably for my 3.5 year old, however if there's only ones that will fit my 1 year old that's ok.
I don't want to consider trailers.
Thanks in advance!

It's all here

I generally prefer putting the kids up front if possible, it's way more fun and interactive.
I have a BoBike front seat for sale, in the classifieds here, but I suspect it will not fit on your bike after looking at images of the stem.
An expensive, but good option is the latest 'pro' version of the Shotgun seat. I use the previous model on my mountain bike with the 3/4 year old

One thing to consider is the distance from your saddle to the stem, if you are a small person on a small frame it might be physically difficult to manage a child in that space.

Thanks Ben. I will take a look at that link - I think that is the problem I'm coming up against in terms of space, but hopefully I can make it work.
