Tyke Toter

Purchased for my Brompton folding bike having seen some pictures online of the setup. But the quick release mechanism is too small. The seat swung from side to side and frightened my son on dismount, and his weight swinging dented the seatpost. Subsequent attempt to tighten the quick release also dented the post! So, a max size seatpost would be helpful! New seat posts are not very expensive but still. The Toter worked great on my husband's conventional bike.

Tyke Toter:
We make it clear on our website the Tyke Toter is not meant to be used on folding bikes. The seat post is too large and long. Tyke Toter will place too much torque on the seatpost to be safely used. It is meant for standard bicycles and we are glad to know it worked as it should.

This product is pre-tty expensive compared to the alternatives, but it is totally worth it.
1. The seat and handle do not get in the way. They fit in seamlessly with the rest of the bike.
2. The foot rest is hard to install correctly. However, once I got it installed correctly, it made a huge difference to the baby's experience.
3. The price is on the higher side. I wish there were competing products that could force the price to a reasonable range. The product quality is good and it is hard to complain.

Fantastic product, works like a charm since day-1. Kid loves it and is motivated to ride it every time. Spreads his arms in the air and imagines he's flying. The parents are also happy: the seat weighs nothing, is sturdily built, and is easily removed after child delivery to school. I wish you had a dealer in Europe!
I would give it 5 stars out of 6 (if it was an option), but a couple of modifications had to be done in my case, so I just leave it at 5:
1) the rubber handle grips were slided off by my child (in cold weather) so I had to glue them on to the tubes. A potentially dangerous feature.
2) the lower tube of my bike's frame is not of a circular cross-section (elliptic), so the foot peg does not sit tight regardless of the shims' thickness. Needs a custom adaptation.
But this is minor stuff.
I recommend the seat

I never leave reviews, but the Tyke Toter is awesome. I ride my 3 year old to preschool every morning and she has a blast. A huge additional benefit is getting her out of the house in the morning is way easier now because she looks forward to the ride so much.

After dropping her off I can quickly remove the seat for the rest of my commute.

Overall, great product. Highly recommend.

We decided to take our bikes on a road trip to the Canadian maritimes, my 3.5 yr old isn't riding a 2 wheeler yet and I did not have room for the bike trailer. I bought the Tyke Toter, received it in less than a week, installed it in under 5 min and now my 3 yr old begs to go for a bike ride. I feel that it is very safe and I have never felt like he was going to fall off, not even when going on rough trails, he just hangs on for the ride. Great product that gets lots of interest from others. Our longest ride to date has been well over 2 hrs and he is quite comfortable.

This seat is really fantastic. It's light, easy to install, and it's nice to have my daughter right in front of me. We don't have to spend our whole ride yelling "what did you say?" anymore!

I added a piece of foam pipe insulation around the section between the seat and handlebars. Just tied it on with zap straps. I did this because on our first ride, my daughter got crotched when we hit a bump.

I will also be adding plastic toe cages to the foot pegs so that her feet are less likely to dangle and get caught in the spokes of my front wheel. I'm just waiting for my order of Sugru to glue the toe cages on.

It works well also on my folding bikes ;o)))

My 2.5 yo loves being up front on Mama's bike and going faster than her friends on their push bikes :)

We initially put it on my husband's hybrid bike, but had to push his seat way up high to fit the Tyke toter. We moved it to mine, and it fit better.

Just got my TykeToker. Was easy to install. The build quality is super! I'm extremely happy with it. My daughter now loves to ride on "daddy's big bike". What a great experience to ride with her.
