Confused by weight limits?
The weight limits 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 doesnβt 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. This normally occurs at aged 4.
Will my child fit in the seat?
Will it fit my bike?
Yes it will fit your bike.
It will fit in the standard way if your top tube is under 45mm wide.
If it is over 45mm wide you may need our stem adaptor to fit:

You make the measurement by the headset (at front of step through where I have out the red line)::
We also have fitting videos hereβ¦.
How easy is it to install?
You should be able to install it yourself in about 20 minutes . Check out the 2 minute video on our videos page to give yourself a better idea.
How to fit a WeeRide bike seat.
What is the difference between the standard and deluxe versions of the seat?
The Deluxe has a thicker padding on the seat and podium and we tend to recommend for under 18 months. Over 18 months they do not need the extra padding as they have built up their own!
Why is WeeRide the best bike seat?
We believe the WeeRide seats are the best on the market because in simple terms they are the Safest and most Fun
What is the difference between the Co Pilot and the Pro Pilot?
The Co is steel and the Pro is aluminium. The Pro will be lighter and not rust and so will last longer…but costs more π
Why is the "Sync Link" pivot on your tag so important?
The pivot controls the movement of the tag behind your bike so is the most important part. Our patented hitch gives a consistent movement, unlike other manufacturers.

I have seen other frontseats coming onto the market, why should I buy a WeeRide?
It is the original and best. It meets EU standards unlike most of the others. The WeeRide fits to nearly all bikes, men’s and women’s and importantly does not affect the steering due to the way it connects, or the balance as it is centre and not front mounted. It is also built to the highest spec with your child’s comfort in mind.

What are the Safety Standards for seats?
In the EU is EN14344. Australia uses a very similar standard. And in the US they use they AS standard which isnβt as strict. There are more and more seats coming into the market that do not meet the Safety Standards as retailerβs standards slip.
Does a seat without EN14344 mean it is unsafe? No. It just means you are trusting the company and not a recognised safety panel to check the safety of a seat. As we are talking about a baby product, WeeRide believe it is better to invest the money to ensure we meet all the safety requirements.
Why are Safety Standards so important?
They give you peace of mind. You know that a strict regulatory framework has checked all safety aspects of the seat to ensure quality of design and components.
It is the easiest way for a consumer to take the safety aspect of a baby seat out of the decision process so they can focus just on design and fun. Let the experts decide whether the seat is safe.
We feel it should be the first question you ask, and if they do not answer YES without any caveats, then we would walk away.

The bar slips up when I tighten the bolts
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.
