The ever-practical headrest is another brilliant extra, and it’s positioned perfectly in front of your child so when they fall asleep on the move, they can do so comfortably and safely, all while securely strapped into the harness, too. This mounting plate installs easily, but if you plan on swapping the Co-Pilot between adult bikes frequently, we highly recommend getting a spare hitch for the other bike.

WeeRide recommends the Co-Pilot be used with 4 to 9-year-olds and a max of 75 lbs. We tested it out with this motley group of kids ages 4 to 12, weighing 34 to 82 lbs.

The WeeRide Safe Front Bike Seat can be removed in seconds. For most cases a centre-mounted front bike seat will be the best option. But that may not be the case depending on how you plan to ride with your child.
