    Which is better?

    Does it depend on the bike as to what it can accommodate.

    Personally I think front will be more fun as they don’t have to stare at an arse crack and get more of a view.

    Your thoughts please?

    I have a wee-ride which is in the middle. It’s more fun to interact with the boy but riding the bike and getting both him and I on and off is more of a pain. Also means you can’t get a foot down easily on the road, it’s a no no for the mrs who isn’t as confident as me on the road.

    I think the compromise is worth it.

    I really like the look of the front bar mounted seat for the little nippers, is it called a yepp?

    I chose a front mounted Bobike Mini over a Weeride. It is easier to mount/dismount, and less invasive, as long as you have 20mm of spacers on your steerer.

    I think the balance is better too.

    A dropper post makes a big difference.

    Picton, the seat I’m looking at is the Yepp, I saw one in us on Sunday and it looked pretty good,

    Curious. Why does a dropper post make a big difference? Easier to get on and off or something else ?

    Point to note: Front mount seats mean you have to pedal with your knees stuck out. I found it unbearable. Hamax Siesta out back for me.

    Suppose it’s got a got to do with the geo of the bike a long TT would help with the knee thing.
