Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat - Frame Mount, Ultra-Shock Absorbing, Adjustable to Fit Kids (Baby-Toddler) 9 mo-48.5lb.

I was on the fence on which toddler bike seat to purchase, and the Hamax ended up being the best purchase. It was much easier to set up than I expected and is very sturdy. My daughter helped me put it together, and she loved the ride. It's a bit of a change getting used to having a toddler on the back of the bike, but once you get used to the change in weight distribution, you don't even remember it's back there. I like that there is a little more space between the bottom of the chair and the back wheel, allowing for a little more give when going over bumpy terrain without worrying about the bottom of the chair scraping the wheel. this was a great purchase, we will get a lot of use out this bike seat!

Can’t go wrong with Hamax as far as I know, and that’s true of this child seat as well. My 3-year old son has been riding on this for the past half year, and will be able to keep riding it for years to come! The seat is nice and secure, and both protective and comfortable for the kid. It’s also adjustable to fit different size racks which is a bonus. I would easily buy this product again!

Words can’t really express how satisfied I am with this seat. It’s the best! It was clear even from the careful packaging that Hamax takes pride in their product. The seat itself is well made and attractive. I found the directions to attach it to my bike clear and easy to follow, and I set it up by myself within twenty minutes or so. Once attached, it is very secure. My 18 month old seems to find it comfortable.When riding, it definitely takes a few minutes to get used to the different weight and center of balance, but the seat has its own suspension and kept my kiddo riding smoothly even on a bumpy road.The only problem we had was that we were so excited to try it out, we went for a ride right away...and unfortunately spring wasn’t quite here because it started snowing halfway through! However, our more recent rides have been more pleasant (and much warmer) and we can’t wait to keep exploring by bike through the summer.One thing to keep in mind is that I am not able to use back panniers with the seat on...might just be the way my bike is, but I have to put my front rack back on and use front panniers if I want any kind of storage/carrying capacity.Overall, I’m extremely happy with this bike seat and highly recommend it.

Great product, sturdy and neat. started using at 13 months. Baby loves biking and I love that if he falls asleep i can lean him back. At first he didnt kick me but now he needs his feet secured and we appreciate that small feature too.

I ride road bikes and use a 60cm frame and this child seat meets my needs. I do not get heel strikes while pedaling, unlike rack mounted designs from Thule. Did not bother with their frame mounted design because other riders mentioned heel strikes. Product is easy to install and straight forward to meet the installation guidelines recommended by the manufacturer: height above the tire and distance away from rear axle. Doing this is the hardest part of the installation, I used an improvised plum bob to measure distance from the calibration mark on the seat to my rear axle.My only complaint comes from watching a video of my riding when there is a kid in the seat. With a child in the seat, it sways when making tight turns. I suspect this can be mitigated by getting a frame mounted seat or purchasing something additional. I had no idea the seat swayed until I saw a video and I had ridden several miles prior to seeing the video. If you have ridden with cargo in panniers, there is no difference in the ride.My kid and I enjoyed our first ride. More to come. Thanks for a good and useful product.

With only 4 bolts it gets attached to the seat pole of my gravel bicycle. It is comfortable for the baby and feels relatively safe while riding the city. We started using it when the baby was 9-10 months old and expect it to last until he grows to ride his first bikes

The seat has a recline feature which has been very nice for our 10 month old. I like that the back of the seat is higher than his head for comfort and safety. It was fairly easy to install once I found the correct placement for it to clear the seat and bike tire. The straps are easy to get on and off and hold our baby in very well.I tried this seat with my 40 lb daughter as well and although she fit safely in the seat, it was too much weight on the back of the bike to be able to control it easily. Once I stopped and was off the seat the back tire of the bike started to slide out from under her almost dropping her strapped in to the bike to the ground. So although this can hold 40+ lbs beware it may not be very safe.

Confortable, easy to install, one of the few seats on the market that can hold 22kilos toddlers.
