Just an FYI I know it’s not in your short list but avoid the weeride version.
It’s not great in design / execution

I had a wee ride (for beers, off someone here - thanks!) and it was just fine. It’s not sophisticated, but it worked. Until Jr was too tall. Don’t write it off.

Maybe look at the Thule Yepp if you have steerer enough they seem great.

Ended up with a Macride (thanks Steve!) - it's fantastic and the little'un loves it.

After a couple of shorter test rides, we went out for a longer ride the other day - 1hr each way, with a stop for ice cream and a playpark in the middle. She was beginning to get a little bit fed up towards the end, but to be fair I think she was just knackered and ready for her dinner.

Big fan here! Plenty of scope for chatting and pointing to things - much more inclusive than having her in the trailer/rucksack.

Had my mac ride about a year now (including borrowing one for the first few months, due to their price I needed convincing.

I went for the mac ride as the leg height can be adjusted as my boys big for his age.

He's just gone 3 and we now do mtb rides that I do on my own, just slower although still faster than some of my roadie friends.

Don’t know if they still do them, but Superstar used to do extra long lock-on grips so both you and the child got a bit of grip.

As mentioned roadie bar tape etc also works.

Glad to hear she’s enjoying it, they’re brilliant bits of kit.
