I'm looking to purchase a child seat for my 13 month old daughter. I quite like the look of the front mounted ones. Are weeride still a good choice? Any recommendations?

Also has anyone fitted one to a Whyte 901, (Medium, 2023)

I've got a Thule yepp mini. The issue with child seats for this age is they are mounted to the steerer and unless you have a long steerer tube, it likely will hit the frame.ย

If you're serious about taking your child long term on the bike, I'd maybe wait for the kids ride shotgun pro to be available, as should last for 5 years ISH, granted they're expensiveย

Thanks! Would you not recommend the Thule yepp mini?

I can see Winstanleys have the Shotgun Pro in stock and on offer

Ah sorry, it's the pro Evo that would work, which isn't in stock anywhere.ย

The yepp mini is good, if you can make it fit! There's a few videos on YT of people trying to make it fit MTBs with varied success. Welcome to try it if anywhere near forest of dean

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I'm 150 miles north of you. I might take a chance and try and pick up a used Yepp Mini, thanks!
