Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

You'll read other reviews about how this shipped and installed but my review is about the real reason you bought this seat - safety for your child. My son (just turned 3) was on the back while riding when I hit a large branch in a small pile of leaves and the bike tilted forward with the rear lifting up. I immediately put my left leg out to prevent the bike from flipping. This made the bike turn in the air and land sideways (on my left). I hit the concrete first then the front of the bike landed on me and the rest twisted in the air. From the ground I saw the rear of the bike in the air and the look on my son's face as he hit the concrete. He basically fell sideways to the ground from about 6 feet high. He was saved by the child bike seat (which is all scuffed up now). I picked the bike up and pulled him from the seat removing his helmet and asking him if anything hurts. Based on the impact, I was betting his arm was broken. Other than having the wind knocked out of him and being scared, he was fine. His head never came anywhere near the concrete because the the cushion and sides of the seat protected him. The straps and bar kept him in place. His legs were never in danger of being crushed because they were strapped in. Had I bought a $40 seat from Walmart instead, this story may have a different ending.
