Peg Perego Orion Front Mount Child Seat

This seat is amazing! My kiddo loves being able to sit forward, and we always get smiles from people we pass. It's much easier to balance than a rear-mounted seat and feels safer - I can see him at all times and it's sturdy. It's lightweight, which is what I wanted instead of having to haul a trailer behind my bike. A fantastic feature is being able to easily remove the seat from its mount for when baby isn't coming along. It's overall very easy to install, as well. The most difficult part is customizing it to your specific bike style/size (but it's great that it's pretty universal with all the extra pieces included!). My only very small complaints are that, even mounted as far forward as my bike will allow, my knees still hit it (I do not have long legs at all!) unless I bow them out very slightly, which can cause them to hurt a little after a long ride and I also cannot stand up to go uphill with the seat mounted. Other than that, I couldn't be happier!

Excelente. Ajustable. Se requiere bicicleta de varón y grande. Util hasta poco mas de 2 años de edad. Mucho mejor balance que con la silla trasera

We initially purchased a Bell carrier on a whim while out shopping. It was about $50 but it was terrible. Flimsy plastic, and you practically had to weld it to your bike so there was no removing it.I'd found a review of the OKBaby Orion, but it just seemed to be available in Europe, but now, Peg Perego have taken the same model and made it available in the US.Initial impressions on opening the compact box was that it was very well made compared to the Bell, the plastic was tougher, but not too thick to make it heavy, the padding was ample, you also get all the required fixing components in a nicely made tub rather than all dumped into a plastic bag, which made it feel good quality.Fitting the fixing system (basically the black block in the photo) was pretty straight forward, you pick the correct size rubber padding for your headset, then bolt on 4 bolts to your frame. It took about 15 mins to get it fixed, and this was just using the small spanner that was supplied in the box, using a socket set would have been easier. You then attach the metal fixing bar to the seat and this slots in to the Orion fixing. It takes 10 seconds or so to attach and remove the seat, it's fantastic and much sturdier than you'd expect.Using the seat on a bike is great.Our 1 year old wee girl is about 20lbs and fits in it perfectly, but there is still room for when she grows. We took her out on a smooth bike trail and she was confused by it at first, but seemed to enjoy it, we had her smiling towards the end, I'm sure she'll love it more once she gets more used to it.It feels safe, with the harness and the quick release front bar, plus there was no movement at all from the fixing, even although it is only fitted by two bars and four bolts.Would highly recommend, and it is a great design and perfect if you're looking to use your bike with and without the seat..Edit - added photo of mount on my hybrid

We have owned this seat for over a year and i am finally making a review. This seat is awesome. It is easy to ride with it on and i feel so secure with my little one in front. We go on bike rides daily and he is always so happy to get buckled in. It is very study and well made. I love design details. My son has been using it since he was 1yr old and still fits comfortably a year later. I recommend this seat for bike loving parents.

A definite 5* item. Ways better than all the others we’ve tried.Sturdy and well made, thick plastic keeping its shape under a 25lb kid. All mounting components are solid and properly finished. Overall quality feel to the whole thing.Installs easy and secure to most bike frames including double suspension. One exception would probably be tri-fold 20” city bikes with tall handlebar stem. Can still be attached, but might be uncomfortably low for both parent and kid.Mounting system is a blast. You attach a very compact clamp to the bike frame that doesnt bother you at all if riding alone. The seat itself, including its support spring, snaps in and out of the clamp with a single button push. The seller can provide additional clamp on request to outfit both parents’ bikes and transfer the seat between them as needed.Child restraint system includes shoulder straps, seat bar, and foot stands/straps. Kept our wiggly restless kiddo in and secure, which isnt at all easy.All in all, clearly the best of all front riding systems available.1-yr update: still holding fine, sturdy enough for a 30-lb kid. Not a single complaint so far.One minor issue, the latches holding footrests in place are rather small, so the kid can get his foot loose with a well aimed upward jerk. Could probably bolt those rests in place but seems too minor to bother.Seat bar latch on the contrary is pretty tight and hard to get open for someone with small fingers. Guess that’s intentional though.
