I started with the Thule RideAong when Daniela was 15 months old and continued to use till she reached 15 kilos.My daughter loved every mile on the front seat and I would say that it helped with preparation for her attempts to ride bikes at 25 months old.The seat and shoe holders are amazing, the straps are good for smaller kids with simple one click locking. With kids over 85cms, the straps tend to slide off the shoulders and it can make you somewhat nervous. That said, the passenger has fixed legs so getting out of the seat is highly unlikely. Dani never fell asleep in the seat and we manged 50km in the woods for our longest ride, she was excited all of the time.The windshield looks like overkill but it helps against dust, branches, bees and wasps... & rain or snow.How about the Fatboy?Well...the fat tires help in mud, rocks and snow. You are riding with an extra 12-16 kilos on the front wheel so the big wheels allow to go wherever you want. I am 190cm tall and had no issues handling the bike with a toddler in the seat. Smaller bikers may want to test the seat prior to purchasing to be sure its a good fit.People were taking pictures of the bike wherever I went. Some people do not fancy the attention...but this is an odd looking setup so be prepared.One negative is transportation of the fatbike, it is truly big. In case any of you are looking at fatbikes with a kid carrier, avoid carbon forks as you cannot mount seats on the fork. I'm looking for a different bike now because I have no way to carry her Woom2 around except hooking the trolley! Check out the Thule RideAlong Mini here.Mira MaskuPrague, Czech Republic
Hello!
Does the windshield for the RideAlong Mini:
A) attach to the child seat itself (so it goes with the seat when you remove the seat from the bicycle)
or
B) attach to the bicycle frame (so it stays on the bicycle all the time even when the child seat is removed
?
If B):
How easy or complicated is it to remove and reattach the windshield to/from the bicycle?
Hi. I’m currently trying to source a rack and child seat that are compatible with a fatbike that has a 197mm rear axle spacing and runs 4.0” tires. Can I ask what the spacing is on your Fatboy as well as the largest tire width you’ve successfully run with that setup??
Thule Nexxt Mini and windshield combination allowed us to get out and about on ebikes as a family without worrying about stones and other eye hazards (and blocking a lot of the wind for small lungs) much earler than we would have been confident doing without it. After being converted to riding with something akin to a riot shield out front it only came off when the youngster started objecting and pulling it down, stayed in the seat until reaching the upper weight limit.
LD would do upto 3hrs in the saddle at a time and could sleep safely, and apparently comfortably, on the move as needed.
Lots of comments and people asking where we got it.
Hi there. I thinking to get one. But will it fit perfectly with fatbike?
