iBert Safe-T-Seat Front Child Seat (Green,38-Pounds limit)
The iBert safe-T-seat is a front mounted child seat that has many benefits over the alternatives. It allows you to have more interaction with your child while riding; the child has a better view; your bike will have better center of gravity; and it is easier and safer to load your child into a front mounted vs. a rear mounted seat. The iBert is designed so you can pedal your bike without hitting your knees on the seat and is easy and fast to install. The safe-T-seat is designed for children 4 and under. The minimum age is 12 months since the child needs to be able to sit up well and hold the weight of a helmet. The maximum height of the child using the iBert seat is 42 inches. Kids taller than that will be uncomfortable. The max weight for the seat is 38lbs. Installation takes minutes. You will need at least 3/4 inch of usable stem in order to attach the seat.The iBert safe-T-seat was designed on the premise that all child bike carriers are not created equal.
The safe-T-seat lets you interact with your child while riding. Equipped with a three-point harness and lap bar, the safe-T-seat puts your child at the front of the bike, where she is safe, comfortable, and entertained. The front-mounted location is more fun than a bike trailer, which limits your child’s view while putting her in the path of rocks, dirt, and other annoyances. It’s also more gratifying than rear-mounted seats, as it lets you interact more with your child while providing a better center of gravity. And unlike many traditional front-mounted seats, the safe-T-seat sits high enough to stay clear of your knees while pedaling, installs easier, and sports more safety features.
Designed for children four and under, the safe-T-seat features iBert’s patented stinger assembly system, which attaches and removes easily from almost any bike. The stinger system sits higher than other seats and is smooth on the bottom. Even if you’re extra tall and hit your knees on the bottom of the seat, they’ll just glide along the seat’s smooth bottom edges. The safe-T-seat is safe for children up to 38 pounds and 42 inches tall. Kids taller than 42 inches will be uncomfortable. Parents will need at least 3/4 inch of usable stem to attach the seat.

Unsafe at any speed — could kill your child The seat was fun while it lasted, but there’s a serious design flaw that could seriously injure or kill the child. The T-shaped mounting bar is cast from soft, porous pig metal rather than something appropriate like steel, which probably saves them less than a dollar per unit but makes the mount far too weak for the stresses it carries. The photos below show a sudden fracture that happened to us (with a rider well below the advertised weight limit)— I’m just thankful it happened on the…
Could have killed my baby. Mounting bar snapped. Do not use this seat! I have been using it to ride with my two year old who is 28 pounds. We ride less than two miles a day for school drop off. When I went to load her, the whole thing collapsed. A sharp sudden break in the mounting bar would have pitched her straight to the pavement in traffic. I thank my lucky stars that I was home in my driveway when it happened. I have done research and I am not the only one to have experienced this. I am calling my friends that I recommended this seat to…
