cr500Dom – can you share any info about which seats those are please? Can you just bolt them straight on?
They are Yepp Maxi seats, brought from a seller on eBay based in wickford.
They came with the easy fit frames which clamp on to the rear rack once the deck is removed, it’s not ideal but it’ll do for now, you could probably fit them through the deck too but I wanted to get the seats lower.
I am probably still going to make a frame plate up which will allow me to do away with the easy fit frames and get the seats another 25-30 mm lower too. This would still allow the quick release of the seats in the same fashion.
Or I could modify the seats themselves and bolt them directly to a new deck without the quick release mechanism, I’d then make the whole deck removable with seats attached.
Handling with 2 on is a little interesting, and loading them is difficult as the 2nd child is behind the rear axle line.
Hence the reason for wanting to get them lower as the leverage about the rear axle will be a lot less.
The other option is a big front rack and some front panniers low down to counterbalance the weight, but I need to spend some more time experimenting.
I have to say, once on the move it feels ok, but getting started / setting off is a little weird, especially if rearward passenger doesn’t sit still !!! 😯
