Have you ever found yourself searching for an activity
for your whole family to do, an activity capable
of keeping kids of all ages entertained while promoting
health and fitness at the same time? Just as toddlers
begin to crawl and walk on their own – you’ll
realize that they no longer want to be carried or
to go anywhere in a stroller now that they have
their independence. Cycling is one of the only activities
that the whole family can get in on and participate
at the same time. Just having the chance to take
the children out and show them the world from the
seat of a bicycle – with a front row seat
of the ever changing view, is priceless.
This phrase is the reason for the very existence
of the safe-T-seat. The safe-Tseat is more than
just a child carrier, its 6 years work by a mother
and father who were disappointed with the other
family bicycling options available, including both
front and rear mounted carriers. The bicycle trailers
were great for the parents, but terrible for their
kids. The children couldn’t see anything down
at ground level, they could not communicate with
their parents and when they closed the front flap
to keep the dust and dirt out of their faces, they
got too hot or just fell asleep because it was BORING
for them. They didn’t like the rear-mounted
seats because all that their children were able
to see was their parents backsides and it was just
about impossible to speak with them, never mind
trying to point things out for them to see during
the ride. Again, not fun for the children! The balance
of the bike was off and the safety issues made them
nervous. The safety advantages of the safe-T-seat
are that you always maintain control of the bike
when loading and unloading your child, you can see
what your child is doing at all times, and the center
of gravity is closer to the center of the bike making
it easier to control and in the event that if the
bike were to tip over sideways, your child is no
longer the widest part of the bike, they are protected
by the handlebars.
It's better than trailers
