My 3 year-old LOVES it. We ride home from school together several days a week now -- she actually cries if she sees I've shown up without the bike. The product itself is sturdy and well-constructed. The secure mounting system, the sticky rubber on the stirrups and seat, and the fact that the whole thing detaches quickly without tools and folds up to fit into a backpack are evidence of a thoughtful design process. Definitely inspires confidence. We paid a premium for this seat over the others that were available on the market but it was pretty clear from the outset that this was a superior product and the extra cost was a worthy investment in our child's safety and comfort.

The free stickers were a nice touch, too.

Fits great

Awesome

That's the first thing my 3 and 4 year old said when being on it. I put it on my xl santa cruz Bronson and it fits great, even with my 45 inch tall, 45 lb 4 year old. Since its got a 60 pound limit and many leg positions I gotta feeling get many more smiles on it. When my kid was about a year I had him on the front mounted I-bert seat which was a ton of fun, but didn't allow the same precise handling the Mac ride does. I only which I bought this one earlier.

Cheers

My Son love this stuff...😉👍Thank You #macride

Just to say that it's a great product !!!!

I received this bike seat very quickly once the order was placed which was very impressive during these COVID times. The product was packaged neatly and arrived with very easy instructions. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the product. I installed it in about 5 minutes and my son (1.5 yrs) and I were riding in no time. I am impressed with the adjustability of the Mac Ride to easily adjust as my son grows bigger. It doesn't touch the frame at all which is cool so I don't get scratches and I can remove it in literally seconds if need be. They even sent me an additional stem collar which I installed on my second bike. I can swap the seat from one to the other in a matter of seconds so I can take my pedal bike or my e-bike. My son is in love with this thing and will not let go of the handle bars when it's time to get off. He wants to ride and ride. If there was a down side to the Mac Ride it would be that you really need to have a dropper to use with it because there's no room for you to scoot forward off your seat at a stop. I have a dropper so this isn't an issue and the ability to listen to my son laugh and enjoy our time together is more than worth the price of this seat. Great job Mac Ride!

Needed the adapter for my wife’s Giant reign e mountain bike. Fits great and easy to use. Our son loves his Mac ride!

We have 4 bikes and we move the seat around in seconds to each of them. Our 2 year old is in bliss all the time--holding the bars and feeling part of the experience. Great product--easy on/off/storage. so worth it!

I love this seat so much. It’s super sturdy and easy to install and remove. It’s been so fun to have a kid ride up front. You get to see/hear all their joy and excitement.

Those reasons alone are worth buying but the major bonus is that I don’t have to remove it to put my bike over the tailgate for transport. I had been using a Shotgun seat but it was getting worn so quickly from taking it off and on so often. The macride is better in every way.

I wish it had some rubber or thick stickers on the legs to help reduce the chances of scratching my bike while installing it but that was easy enough for me to remedy.

I ride a trek so I had to get another head spacer to work with the macride but that was easy enough.

I highly recommend you have a bike with a dropper post for use with the macride or at least lower your seat while you use the macride. In my experience, you can’t really slide forward off the seat to straddle the top tube with the macride installed.

I think this is the best seat on the market to put little riders up front. I highly recommend it.

I have a VanMoof X3 and was pretty excited to get the Mac Ride installed and start riding with my almost-2yo. The Mac Ride didn’t fit right out of the box (due to some weird quirks with the bike) but with some persistence and ingenuity, and incredible customer support from the Mac Ride team, we got it installed.

Our biking mostly consists of cruising, and with the Mac Ride my daughter and I are actually enjoying riding together- ie I’m not just lugging around a toddler getting from point A to point B.

Stop reading the reviews and just order- one more day you’ll get to enjoy riding with your kid!

I found right away we could extend our rides with the TowWhee because anytime my 5YO wanted to stop or couldn't climb I could just attach the TowWhee and keep the fun alive. For sure this gets those you trail rides over the hump of having to do a "mini epic" - Daddy time just got better!

My kid loves it!

We borrowed a shotgun seat from a coworker, but it barely worked on my bike (old gary fisher mtb turned clydesdale demi-cargo) due to top tube cable routing, it was really annoying to swap to my wife's bike, and it didnt even fit due to how tall her headtube is.

The mac-ride costs a bit more but it swaps between bikes in about a minute, the seat is more comfortable, and it fits just about any bike as far as i can tell (pending front wheel clearance)

We own a weehoo trailer as well, and thats great for long rides, but we live in a row home with no garage and its too annoying to drag out and set up for a quick ride to the park while the toddler attempts to throw herself down the stairs (huck to flat not ideal here), so we ended up driving more. This seat makes it a breeze and the folx at Macride were as pleasant as could be!

Thanks Y'all!

My 3 year old daughter wants to go everywhere on "the bike seat" now. We travel a lot by bike, but our trailer just sits in the garage now...she loves being up high and up front where she can see. We talk a lot about what we are both seeing. She often says "I really like this." Total win at pretty much every level.

From a technical perspective, I have two comments. One, the engineering on this is excellent. No compromises, no complaints. Two, I wanted to share my experience as a shorter/smaller rider (167 cm/5'6"). I thought a lot about this before buying one; if you look closely, every photo you see (both promotional and otherwise) shows taller riders piloting the bike. Yes, if you're smaller you have to ride with your knees out, although flat pedals allow you to adjust your feet to make that less awkward. I don't think I would want to ride that way for 30 miles, but it's just fine for 10 or 15. Also, a dropper post makes getting on and off easier.

Works great
