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.

Non-Olympian chubby mom approves I had a difficult time trying to decide which thing to buy to take my 14month 26lb son for bike rides with me. All the reviews I found were from Lance Armstrong parents. I am not about that 50 mile a day bike ride life. My bike rides range between 15 minutes to an hour if I’m feeling crazy. This seat was the best choice for me I think because I like to be able to actually see what my kid is doing because if I turned all the way around to look at him I’d most likely run into a parked car…
Does not work for all bikes. This is a good product… I was looking for an alternative to the handlebar carrier or the one that mounts over the rear wheel… and this fits the bill, almost perfectly. Keep in mind that if you mount this on a mountain bike, the oversize tube and the overall geometry *may* be an issue, in that you may not have enough clearance between the cross bar and the handlebar tube to allow the carrier to attach properly. Mine barely fit (got a low end Giant MTB). Other than that, it’s good: stable,…
What a disaster of a product. First, the back collar on the mounting bar did not fit over the seat post of my bike. After some research, I was able to strip away some of the plastic, allowing it to be assembled. Then, the collar on the front of the mounting bar did not fit over the head post of my bike, so I raised the handlebars using the “oversized head” bolt provided by WeeRide. That WeeRide bolt was either bent, defective, or galled, because now the handlebars will not turn…
