Amazon.com Product Description 
Created by parents who were disappointed with the family bicycling options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was made to offer families the best biking experience possible in safety and comfort. This front mounted seat offers both parent and child excellent range of vision, with the opportunity to interact as they bike together. Noted for its ease of use, the seat takes just a few minutes to install and remove, and it is equally easy and safe to load and unload the child from the seat. Providing plenty of clearance for the knees so that the adult can bike with ease, the seat is positioned so that it is easy to maintain the center of gravity. This adaptable seat fits any adult bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches of clearance on the handlebar stem.

The iBert Safe-T seat was developed after its creators became frustrated with the available bike seat options for children. They found that bike trailers kept their kids uncomfortably far away from them, got too hot in the sun, and only provided a limited view out to the children. The rear-mounted seats presented similar problems. The kids had a limited view and it was difficult to interact with them. Additionally, the balance of the bike was off and it was not easy to load and unload the kids. Other front mounted seats were complicated to hook onto the bike and difficult to remove. These seats also did not allow knee clearance for biking, and as a result were not comfortable.

The iBert Safe-T seat offers a variety of safety and comfort advantages compared to other child bike seat options. The iBert Safe-T seat allows you to maintain control of the bike when loading and unloading your child. To load and unload the child, you simply straddle the bike and lift the child into or out of the seat. When using the iBert seat you can always see what your child is doing and you can make sure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. The center of gravity in the iBert seat is closer to the center of the bike making it easier to control the bike as you ride. The seat sits higher on the bike and is smooth on the bottom so that even tall riders rarely brush the bottom of the seat with their knees and if they do they just glide along the smooth edges on the bottom.

The iBert Safe-T seat is easy to install. The patented stinger assembly attaches to any bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches on the handle bar stem. The stinger system attaches to the bike in just two minutes and the seat can then be attached and detached from the stinger in 15 seconds. If you buy additional stinger assemblies the seat can be attached to multiple bikes.

The iBert Safe-T seat is made in the U.S.A. with safety and quality as the main objectives. While the iBert Safe-T seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, at this time ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers not front mounted seats.

Customer Reviews

Great kid seat. Minimal modifications necessary! 
I highly recommend this seat. It easily attaches and detaches. Once I figured out how to adjust the kid harness, it goes on quick and easy now. I put this on a mountain bike. My original handlebar stem was too low. I bought a cheap stem that rises higher for about $10. Now the seat is higher, my riding position is higher, and my knees don’t hit the seat! My chest doesn’t hit my kid’s head now, either. She loves it. I can talk to her, I can see what she’s pointing at and explain it to her, and she rings our little bell when she’s getting bored. It makes cycling very interactive and she can’t get enough of it. 
I’ve had this over a year and its held up great.

Wish I had bought it sooner! 
This is a great product! My 3 year old loves it. It is very comfortable to ride with, and doesn’t interfere with your balance at all. My daughter is 38 months and probably won’t be able to sit in it more than 5 or 6 more months. Her legs are already looking a little tight in the seat. It is very very easy to take on and off.

Front mounted child seat 
My wife and I love it. I feel more aware of how our child is feeling without having to turn around and see and he loves it because he gets to reach out and touch the handle bars and see his mom more easily.
