Product Information

The value for money you get when buying the Siesta cannot be overlooked, and for what you’re paying you get a great bike seat which does exactly what it says on the tin. Any minor grumbles about the way the seat works could be easily overlooked for this impressively mini price tag. The specs: Child bike seats are available for children from as young as nine months. For children that young, a seat with a reclined position will give a more comfortable position than one in which they sit upright. Seats with reclined positions also help ensure children are safer and less likely to flop forward if they fall asleep during a ride. Many cargo bikes will carry two children, either side by side or one behind the other and you may be able to fit a hood. An electric cargo bike is even better.
