Wicked Great

This bike seat is really wonderful. It was extremely easy to install. It feels really secure when installed, and comfortable for baby. It has a really wonderful adjuster system that allows for your child to grow and still be secure and comfortable. The feet straps AND the magnetic buckles are especially easy. We purchased a second base, and think this is a great strategy to not be tied to one bicycle if you and your partner have a different size bike! The one constructive feedback is it can be a little bouncy for baby down hill because of its attachment. Acceleration and upwards baby is very stable.

Easy Installation And Good Product

After using the bike seat for a month, the seat is comfortable for up to 90 minute rides. My toddler is happy and excited to ride in the seat! The straps do slide off my child’s shoulder. I wish this product came with an extra strap feature to connect instead of having to buy as an accessory. Overall, I love the seat and would recommend!

Great Features!

Things I like about it: Size, Weight, Reputation of Company, Well-Reviewed By Customers, and Accommodates larger weight range so can be used longer as child grows. It’s kind of wobbly though - not sure if it’s this design or all child bike seats in general.

Poor Design, Doesn't Fit Most Bikes

We bought the Yepp Nexxt Maxi a couple of months ago so my wife and daughter could join me on my runs. We were under the impression this seat was decently universal and would work on most bikes. Wrong. I don't know if its the style of bikes we have in North America versus Sweden, but we are on our 3rd bike trying to make this work. I have bought and sold my wifes previous 2 bikes trying to get one that works for this carrier. For various reasons, they never fit properly. The bike we have now had a proper frame type that fit it on there, and we go to use it and the frame angle is somehow wrong and the seat rubs the back tire constantly when loaded with a child. I rigged up an adjustment for the angle to make it "better" and it mostly works now, but even on the maximum length setting, my wifes small feet keep hitting her heels on the lower plastic portion on its maximum length. I don't understand how this is supposed to fit any mountain bike we have here as none of it makes sense and has been a huge sense of disappointment and frustration. Very disappointed in this supposedly high end product.

Great Product

I’ve been buying Thule products for years and have come to expect great things from them. These seats live up to my expectations of Thule. I bought two seats, one frame mount and one rack mount. We carry a 3 year old (30 lb) and one year old (20 lb) with total confidence. Easy to adjust quickly for different size children and they are always secure and comfortable. I highly recommended this seat for carrying any child below the weight limit.

Works Well, But My Toddler Is Uncomfortable

I like it, on rides it works for a while then my toddler starts getting cranky. My wife discovered his back had red marks on it from the backing. I’m wondering if anyone found some type of softer padding to put on the back part? Side note: mine was missing some parts, customer service was great in getting it to me.

Defective—known Issue With No Known Solution

The knob on the back that is used to tighten or loosen the device gets stuck and you cannot turn it—doesn’t matter if it’s locked or unlocked. Once this happens the device is 100% useless. This is a known issue, there are multiple reports on the internet but nobody has a solution. This is unacceptable for a device that costs so much money. I would not recommend that anyone waste their money on this model until Thule holds itself accountable for the design flaw, offers a solution to existing customers and releases an update. Zero stars

Great Child Seat

We bought the Yep Nexxt Maxi a couple months ago for my two year old daughter. She absolutely loves it. The construction is solid and the frame mounting provides a good amount of shock absorption. I really like it too. Unlike the front mounted seat we have before, it has no impact on my riding style and does not interfere with stopping and starting when riding in traffic. The harness is great, but you have to make sure you get it tight around the legs before snugging around the shoulders, or the shoulders can become loose as the webbing around the legs tightens. The foot holders are fantastic. They hold tight during the ride and prevent errant kicking and are east to secure and remove.

Could Have Been A Great Product

I have been using this seat for a year now, the overall design and look is nice, but there are some issues: 1) It has no adapters for small or non-standard frame sizes, but it did fit my old 26" wheels 18" size frame with no issues. I could not mount it to one of my 28" wheels comfort bike 2) Black side panels are too wide and may interfere with your feet when pedaling 3) This is where I got disappointed the most, instruction says to torque bolts to 5 Nm, this crushed my frame tube and damaged the bike (used torque wrench). 4) Seat has too hard padding 5) It is good that the belts are 5-point mount, however upper portion of the belts on the shoulders seems to slip a little bit and need to watch out for that.

Big Deception

I just bought this product, and doesn’t work. I Have a trek x-caliber 7 and my wife a Specialized Rockhopper Sport, but doesn’t fit to anyone. The seat crush with the rear wheel, it’s not posible to install. Very disappointed because the seller tell me this product fit with my bikes.

Great Product, Super Easy Install

Bought the seat for my toddler so we could share some fresh air while keeping socially distant. The installation took less than twenty minutes and taking the seat on and off as needed is a breeze. Riding with my son on the back is as good as can be expected, though standing up from the saddle to get up a hill is not something I can recommend as the seat whips as the bike rocks back and forth.

Great Product

This product is very user friendly and easy to install. My kid loves to seat on it. The seat bell system is nice and secured. My kid has no complain about it so far. I love how easy to install and able to adjust. Love it!

Not Comfortable

I specifically bought this seat because it states the seat has soft padding for child comfort. The seat does not have soft padding. It has HARD, painted, scratchy, styrofoam. The harness pads are more ‘comfortable’ (I use that term loosely) than the seat. The harness pads are made with an extremely thin foam. The seat they sit on seems like a hard plastic-y foam (very weird). For the price, you’d definitely think their would be actual comfort. I would not recommend if you want comfort. Stick to a regular plastic seat.
