Yepp - Junior Basic Rear Seat - Black

Product Information

The Yepp Junior is comfortable as well. The seat is made of a soft rubber material. This means that even longer bike rides will be comfortable for your child. Also, the rubber seat is easy to clean and dry off. Ultimately, in many mountain bike forums there are discussions about how you can adapt and even physically alter these seats and mounting systems to be more compatible with mountain bikes. Again, that is a decision you will have to make and doesn’t guarantee the absolute integrity of the Thule Yepp Mini. Furthermore, a front seat can also place the child at risk of being hit by obstacles and other vehicles, as they will be in the direct line of sight. The shoulder pads are made from a rubbery material that is intended to prevent slipping or sliding of the straps, specifically off the child’s shoulders or arms. However, I did find with down coats or some polyester fabrics that the shoulder pads weren’t as slip-proof. But with cotton materials and fleeces, the pads remained firm in place. The first key difference between the two seats is that the Yepp Nexxt Maxi is a bit larger than the Yepp Maxi. This means that it can accommodate a child up to 55 pounds, compared to the Yepp Maxi’s weight limit of 33 pounds. The Yepp Nexxt Maxi is also a bit taller, which can be helpful if your child is taller than average.

When choosing a child seat, make sure it is properly fitted and adjusted to the child. The seat should be at the correct height and the child should be securely strapped in. Another advantage of a rear seat is that it is more stable than a front seat. This is because the weight of the child is spread over a larger area, which helps to keep the bike more stable. You can attach the standard mount directly to the steer tube by removing handlebars and spacers. You will of course only be able to do this if you have enough spacers to remove to then replace with the standard mount. For Yepp, the acquisition would provide financial stability and the resources to expand into new markets.All front-mounted bike seats will interfere with your (1) pedal stroke, and (2) riding space. The shorter the rider, the more problematic the seat may be. For reference, I am a shorter rider at 5’4″. (1) Pedal Stroke

With a head tube-mounted seat an issue that may crop up is that there's not enough space between the bike seat and your saddle. This will depend on the combination of the geometry of your bike, your height and the seat.

What age are front bike seats suitable from?

Overall, the Yepp Maxi and Yepp Nexxt Maxi are both great rear-mounted child bike seats. The main difference between the two seats is that the Yepp Nexxt Maxi is a bit larger and has a built-in sunshade, while the Yepp Maxi is a bit smaller and does not have a sunshade. There has been some speculation over the past few weeks that Thule, the Swedish car equipment company, has bought Yepp, the Dutch manufacturer of child bike seats. The other key difference between the two seats is that the Yepp Nexxt Maxi has a built-in sunshade, while the Yepp Maxi does not. This can be a helpful feature, especially during the summer months when the sun is shining brightly. This is a question that many parents ask, and the answer is yes, you can put a child seat on any bike. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind when doing so.

There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, younger children may not be strong enough to support their own weight on a bike seat, which can lead to them becoming fatigued and uncomfortable. Secondly, younger children may not have the necessary balance and coordination to stay upright on a bike seat. Truthfully these Yepp seats weren’t necessarily designed with mountain bikes or mountain biking in mind, especially on newer, modern mountain bikes . But they have been named by the mountain bike community as a potential mountain biking seat for babies and toddlers, so of course, we tested it out for ourselves.

Yepp Mini Bicycle Seats

When it comes to choosing the right bike seat for your child, there are a few things to consider. One of the most important factors is the age of your child. Child bike seats typically go up to a weight limit of around 40-45 pounds. The Thule Yepp Mini is an incredible front-mounted child bike seat. You won’t be disappointed with the quality and features of this seat. It makes riding as a family possible from a young age and gives young riders a turn at being part of the action versus being stowed away in a trailer or behind the parent.
