'It's cooler in front' says the claim Of the brand. And we can already assure that this is the case... for both the father and the children.
While waiting to receive the second chair, and to be able to go on outings together - father, mother and twins -, we have already experienced the sensations that the child seat transmits. WeeRide Safe Front DeLuxe with a short ride where the dwarfs, in turns, were able to feel for the first time what it is like to ride a bike.
And the result, the truth is, could not be more satisfactory. They both enjoyed the ride, calm, without feeling of fear, carefully observing what was happening around them... until one of them even fell asleep peacefully, resting his head on the padded front support of the chair.
After adjusting their helmets – by the way, also from the brand WeeRide, ideal for their special design for small heads and their perfect fit - the time comes to seat them and buckle them into the chair, an extremely simple task thanks to the effective system developed for this purpose. Children are safe, perfectly restrained, but with freedom of movement for their arms and head.When it comes time to get going, and due to the location of the seat, it is not worth starting while straddling the horizontal tube of the bike... because there is no space. You have to get on and start in the classic way, first placing one foot on a pedal, giving a first impulse pedal stroke, and passing the other leg behind the saddle to the other pedal. Nothing out of this world, come on. And if you don't control the technique, by practicing a few times before - without a child in the chair, just in case - you will control it without a problem.
As for the pedaling position, this is where we find the biggest 'but' of the WeeRide. Its location forces you to pedal with your legs slightly open, with the damage that this position can cause for the knees. But we also have to be realistic... This chair is designed for quiet walks and short distances… to make a cyclist tour or travel There are other more recommended optionsEven so, the driving position is not an impediment to reaching high speeds and getting into fun trails without difficulty... And I can assure you that that is where the little ones, and of course the parents, have the best time. BTT sensations for children under 1 year old... Who wouldn't have dreamed of it when we were little?
While we receive the second chair, we are already thinking about the routes to pedal during the coming weekends. Because this has only been the beginning... I think they already have the bike bug in their bodies... and for life.Author: Víctor Marcos, Communication and RRSS Bikefriendly
