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.

Love this seat! (2008-08-17)
I order this to use with my adult trike and I cannot say enough about it! My 20 month old daughter loves it and cries when the bike ride is over. We have tried a rear mounted seat, as well as a trailer, and I rate this above both of those. I am able to talk to my daughter, point things out to her and just truly enjoy the experience together. I installed it myself in five minutes. I have no complaints, it is a great product and worth ever penny.
GREAT! (2008-08-15)
This seat has proven exactly as good as the reviews suggest. I am an experienced bike rider and wasn't sure how well it would work. But it's absolutely great. My daughter, who is 2 3/4, loves it. She is part of the action and rider and passenger are able to talk about what we see. I feel completely safe riding with her (she's just over 30lbs). Easy to control the bike. Installation took just minutes with some post-adjustment to ensure unhindered pedalling.
FRONT RIDING BIKE SEAT (2008-08-11)
HAVEN'T USED THIS YET, BUT IT WAS REALLY EASY TO INSTALL AND OUR SON SEEMS TO LIKE IT AS WE HAVE PUT HIM IN IT TO SEE HOW IT FITS, ETC.
Great Bike Seat (2008-08-10)
This bike seat is great! We love the stability of this seat compared to others, when our little guy is in it. He has a bird's eye view and loves being in it. It's sturdy and feels of good quality. We prefer this seat to a trailer as we feel safer and more visible to other road users.
The only cons are sometimes your knees hit the sides when pedalling and the straps need a little bit of fiddling to get them secure. Other than that, it's great!
Great European Style Seat (2008-08-10)
We really like the i-Bert bike seat. My husband and I had been all over Europe and particularly in Amsterdam, the kids rode on the front in small "bucket-type" seats. Rather than spending $500 on a Chariot where the kid is stuck in the back, we opted for the i-Bert.
My son, 10 months, really likes it.
In Austin, we get mostly, "hey that's cool" comments around town. It's great for a commuter bike and 2-5 miles around town. I wouldn't go on a century ride with it. The only thing that keeps it from 5 stars is that on occasion, my husband, bangs his knees.
