WeeRide LTD Kangaroo Child Bike Seat

The ultimate in child and comfort and safety, the WeeRide LTD Kangaroo child bike seat offers all the features of WeeRide’s popular Kangaroo carrier–including a unique carrying position and adjustable foot cups–but ups the ante by adding ultra-thick padding on the seat and back and a padded shoulder harness. As a result, your child will be more secure and comfortable than ever while you ride across the countryside or to the grocery store. The LTD Kangaroo is an unusual child bike seat because it doesn’t sit behind the bike saddle, as with most carriers, but in front of the rider. This puts your child in a safer position, where you can easily take note if he or she is upset.

The deluxe safety harness and oversized buckle system, meanwhile, will keep your child secure while giving him or her a much better view of the road and surrounding activities. Perhaps the subtlest yet most convenient feature, however, is the enhanced weight distribution, which keeps you from wavering while navigating corners or hitting bumps. The LTD Kangaroo bike seat–the plushest carrier that WeeRide makes–carries a two-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the age and weight limits for passengers of the Kangaroo child carrier?

A: The recommended limit is 4 years old and 40 pounds.
Q: What is the minimum age for passengers?

A: The child should be able to support his or her own head with the added weight of a helmet, usually one years old. Please consult your pediatrician.
Q: What is the maximum height for passengers?

A: This is also dependent upon the height of the adult piloting the bicycle, obviously the rider needs to see over and reach around the passenger. A good way to judge the height of the passenger is to sit him or her on a bench and have the adult sit directly behind them. If the adult can see over and reach around the child, you should be fine on the bike.
Q: Will I have to alter my cycling position or pedal stroke when using the child carrier?

A: Yes, but the alteration is minimal. It’s not a tremendous alteration of your cycling, but you will have to pedal with your knees slightly more apart than usual to avoid hitting the seat. For the short recreational trips you are taking with your child, this will be a very minor inconvenience in comparison to the quality time spent with them. If you are going for a long training ride you wouldn’t want to subject your child to that, so the seat is easily removed for those rides.
Q: Will the child carrier fit my bike?

A: Wee Ride carriers will fit most bicycles: mountain, hybrid, cruiser, men’s, or women’s bikes. It will not fit to road bikes with drop style handlebars (rider is too hunched over) and downhill/freeride bikes (DH forks have legs that go up almost to the handlebars and the WeeRide mounting bar will restrict steering).
Q: What if I want to switch the carrier between two different bicycles?

A: An additional mounting bar is available separately. You can mount it to the other bike and switch the carrier at will.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Wee Ride
I purchased the WeeRide after researching MANY other bike seats/trailers. I wanted my daughter to be a part of the action, not watching my back side the whole trip. The WeeRide was the perfect option for us. We LOVE it and so does she. I have an Electra Beach Cruiser (Hawaii Custom) and the bar just barely fit, but now that it’s installed, we have had no problems. It’s very easy to take the seat off and on and I feel really secure having her in front of me. My daughter is really tall, so I don’t think I will be able to use it much past the age of 2, but it’s definitely worth it! Occasionally she grabs at the handlebars, but I put a basket on the front of the bike, now she tries to get at that instead! I would highly recommend this for anyone wanting another option to the old standby rear mounted seats or bike trailers.

5 Stars Love it!
I love the WeeRide! Biking with my 1 year old daughter has been a great bonding experience. I am able to easily talk to her as we are looking at the same things. I love having her in front of me, instead of behind where we wouldn’t be able to communicate well. The first time we went biking I was the one saying, “Weeeeee” the whole time! I’m so happy with this purchase.

Attaching the mounting bar that the child seat sits on was a little difficult. I have a mens bike that didn’t have a lot of room from the bottom of the handle bar to the top of the bar to easily fit the mounting bar of the WeeRide in between that space. I also had to permanently raise my seat up so the WeeRide mounting bar could attach underneath it, which now makes it hard for me to reach the floor comfortably. If I was taller (5’3″) then it wouldn’t be a problem.

Other people have mentioned having to ride with your knees pointing out and that was true for me too. Although it wasn’t a problem and barely noticable since I am on the short side. These two slight problems are both due to the type of bike I have, not the product in particular. The riding experience is well worth the slight troubles. I highly recommend the WeeRide!!

4 Stars Pretty good seat!
Overall this is a pretty good seat. The installation isn’t very hard, maybe takes a few minutes to adjust to your bike. **MAKE SURE YOU CONTINUALLY CHECK & TIGHTEN THE LARGE HAND SCREW THAT CONNECTS THE CHILD SEAT TO YOUR BIKE, IT WILL LOOSEN, ESPECIALLY THE 1ST FEW TIMES YOU USE IT**

Our daughter loves the seat, she likes being able to feel the wind in her hair and be close to her daddy! =)

4 Stars its pretty cool
I love this and so does my 1 year old the only thing I wasnt happy with is the buckles on the chair. On the picture online it shows thick straps that buckle like a carseat. The actual straps on this chair are thin and only have on buckle between the legs. I just wish I would have recieved exactly what the picture shows.

5 Stars just what we wanted
I have a K2 hybrid bike I use to commute around town. The handle bars mount in a similar way as a mountain bike. This carrier fits well. It is easy to install. The padding is good (I read a review that complained about the padding quality). The seat belt is also good – it is a nice harness that goes over both shoulders of the child & has padding (there was also one bad review of the seat belt). I do need to pedal with my knees slightly futher apart than normal, but it is only a minor change & still quite comfortable to ride. The actual seat position can be adjusted an inch or two, which allows you to personalize the fit. I am ~6ft tall & ride a normal, adult-sized bike.

Overall this is a great product. The negative reviews were most likely from those who purchased the non-LTD model (less padding, fewer features). The LTD is worth the few extra $$.

We love it!
