Recommend me a child bike seat please :)

I want to get a seat for Evie to fit on hubby's bike.

I'm thinking of one that goes in front of the bike seat (only because I think this will be less distraction for phil and a more scenic journey for Evie)

Can somebody please recommend one to me (front or rear)

Thankyou

I had my heart set on a wee rider - which fits in front of the rider. I don't drive and bikes are my only transport so I was really looking forward to getting out with my LO...

However I had two babies very quickly and now have a trailer for the two of them! I've been waiting two years to get back on my bike now!

Pay close attention to age limits for children in seats and make sure you are both wearing helmets - wiggle do fab helmets for kids in very small sizes.

we use this one: http://safe-t-seat.co.uk/ I tried the weeride first but for me it was useless as it got in the way of my legs so you had to put the knees out to cycle and really restricted the turning capabilities. It was mch heavier also. All round I have been very impressed with the safe t seat and LO has been in it from 9 months old. I only found one helmet that would fit her small head though, so that could be a problem.

I'm moving to a rear mounted seat now though that LO is 2 years old but only because I am so short so her helmet now sits under my chin and I'm not happy with that. she'll be fine with the front mount on OH bike though as he's taller
