Anders, two years old, talks constantly. It doesn‘t matter where we are or what we are doing. When I rode my bike, pulling him behind in the bike trailer, I couldn‘t hear what he was saying without turning around and swerving across the road. Then came the Kangaroo LTD.
This center-mounted child carrier sits in front of the rider. It‘s easy to set up with the included mounting bar and doesn‘t throw the bike off balance the way a rear seat can. The seat fits both my cruiser and my husband‘s mountain bike. The LTD is the Cadillac of bike seats with its thick seat pad, back padding and padded five-point harness. The foot cups are adjustable to fit different-sized and growing kids.
My little one loves his new spot. Sitting in the front gives Anders a better view of the world around him, and I can hear what he has to say about it.
For kids ages 1 year and up; maximum capacity of 40 pounds.
