Turning their head once to see their child in the bike seat behind them, and swerving almost out of control, is enough to convince some parents to ditch the rear seat and opt for a front-mounted version. Others enjoy the easier interaction made possible with a front-mounted design. Whatever the reason, the Ibert Safe-T Child Bike Seat delivers a very safe, comfortable ride for children up to 38lbs or 42 inches. The forward, lower center of gravity also gives the driver increased control and balance, especially on corners.
The seat is made of shock-resistant high density plastic, covered with foam padding for a safe and comfy ride. The unit attaches quickly and securely to most adult bikes, and is high enough not to get in the way of the driver’s knees when pedaling. Loading and unloading your child is a breeze, and the forward design is less awkward when mounting or dismounting with a child onboard. The result is a comfortable, safe ride that allows your little guy or gal outstanding views all around, and great interaction with Mom or Dad. This innovative design allows a strong rider to have one child in front and another in back, in a standard bike seat, for greater family togetherness!
Designed by parents who were disappointed with the limited child bike seat options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was intended to widen that option. This front mounted seat offers both the parent and child great range of sight, with the opportunity to interact as they cycle together. Lauded for its ease of use, the seat takes just a couple of 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.
