Product Description
The iBert safe-T-seat was designed with quality and safety first. The safe-T-seat places the child up front, safely between the parent's protective arms. This evenly distributes weight over the bike giving a stable, safe ride. Kids enjoy the close interaction and the unobstructed view of the fun ahead. Mounted conveniently on the handlebar stem; the high, forward position allows you to pedal in comfort without banging your knees on the seat.

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.

  • Allows interaction with your child

4 out of 5 stars Straps are deficient   September 6, 2008
The iBert Safe-T-Mounted Child Bicycle Seat is a great concept and our Grandson loves to ride on the bicycle. The only issue I have is with the straps. They will not stay up on his shoulders. I'm going to replace the straps with ones off of a car seat.


5 out of 5 stars A simple yet great product   September 6, 2008
I spent quite a bit of time looking for an easy to install, yet very comfortable front-mounted bicycle child seat. After reading reviews on the various products, I decided to give the iBert a spin. The package got to me in time and in great condition (Thanks, Amazon). The instructions were very simple and in fact, my wife mounted it on my bike one evening while I was away. Having said that, it would have been nice to have a couple of illustrations or photos on the install instruction sheet to show what the installed product should look like, taken from a low front-wheel angle. My daughter loves it, it is very comfortable and affords her a front-seat view of our travels. We spend at least an hour every day on it, exploring various trails, parks and play areas. The seat doesn't affect the balance of the bike and is generally very non-intrusive. My only comment is that one should check the couple of fasteners that bolt the seat to the stem of the handle-bar every so often to ensure they are still tight. I find that I have to tighten them by half to three quarters of a turn every couple of weeks. Other than that, simple great product that has provided hours of priceless (sorry, Mastercard) fun with my two year old. Way to go, iBert folks.


4 out of 5 stars Fabulous!   September 3, 2008
So much fun!!! It's incredible how this seat changes your bike ride. With your child so close to you, it becomes more interactive for both parent and child. Easy to handle. Very cool.


5 out of 5 stars Genious   September 1, 2008
I have a good sized 2 year old who fits well in this seat. I love having him right between my arms able to see everything while we ride. It feels much safer than pulling him behind me. I am 6'1" and this seat does not restrict my knees in a significant way. I would suggest that you be on the bike while loading and unloading as the whole bike would easily topple over with the child in the seat even with a kick stand.


4 out of 5 stars Great for fun rides..   September 1, 2008
My one year old LOVES to ride in this seat. It's great to have her in front where I can see her and she can see ahead. It's fun for easy rides with my six year old around the neighborhood. The only issue I have with the seat is it is not great for hills or times when you should lean forward / or stand to get momentum on your bike... but oh well.
