Toddler seat
Posted by CupApprehensive6695@reddit | ebikes | View on Reddit | 7 comments
Anyone got a toddler seat they can recommend? I got an RTG imperial, where the battery is behind the seat post so all the toddler seats that connect to the seat post or upright bar won't fit
I had a weeride that sits in front of me but it's uncomfortable and I bang my knees.
The bike has a rack and I had a seat on it that I got from Amazon which worked great until it broke. So looking for a well rated one that will fit on my current rack or a new rack that doesn't need the seat post / upright bar. My current rack is also a little wider, at 6" wide, and too wide for a lot of the seats out there that go on racks.

make sure the rear rack can hold the weight. also when making turns be careful. since a toddler moves around, balancing can be hard as you peddle.

Thats true. Easier to balance the kid when they're in front of me but just too much banging my knees.

Can't help with your question but would like to know what the seat is and is it comfortable. It looks good. Thanks

On the bike? It's a Selle Royal Gypsie spring saddle and it is quite comfortable. Easy to sit in for my half hour commute.

Thule is king.

You may need an adapter to attach it to your rack. Another option to consider is the front seat.

I’ve used both and swear by them.

Thank you. That one looks exactly what I'm looking for. All the Thule ones I saw before had the mounting bracket in the upright but that one is perfect.

I literally just ordered one before I saw this, i tried to get away with a cheap amazon one and the strap broke the first day, seems like thule is the only aesthetically pleasing one too.
