However it's not designed for the mountain bikes popular in the US but rather for the commuter bikes common in Holland (where the product is manufactured). Those who travel to Amsterdam regularly know the bike I'm referring to: less aggressive upright riding position with handlebars, on long necks, that curve back almost to your hips. But with certain other styles of bikes you can still make this seat work.Very important: If your bike's handlebar neck is greater than 1.1 inches in diameter then the "adapter" they ship with the seat won't fit, because bolts are too short, and you won't be able to mount the seat. My bike, the Trek Soho [...] has a relatively thin 1.33" neck but the bolts still don't reach. So if you have a big "stocky" mountain bike you definitely can't use the standard hardware to mount the seat. This will be the issue for the majority of US bikes. You can read about the travails of everyone trying to install this seat on REI's forums: [...] After much effort to determine the specs of the bolt I finally calculated the proper bolt for my 1.33" neck to be these: [...] I couldn't find anywhere on the web to buy just 2 bolts so I purchased this packet of 10. Annoying, but the seat mounts perfectly and my son now loves going for rides.If your bike has a 1.5" neck - common for larger mountain bikes - you'll probably want the 80mm bolt:[...]When mounted the bolts must be the perfect length because they're flush on both ends (ie you can't just crank down on a nut on one end and have the excess hang out) So I'm writing this review to save everyone the trial and error I went through to make this Dutch product work on American bikes. It's worth it!

To get to fit I had to remove some plastic adapters inside the adapter and you can twist it until you install the seat. She will definately have to bend her kneesThe standard adapter would not work on my 2013 820. I have ordered the threadless and update. Also, we have yet to extensively use it.Update: The ahead/threadless adapter worked find for my Trek 820. The seat itself does require me to both flair my knees and the seat rubs up against my chest. Please note, you want a deep socket 10mm for the install of the adapter
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.We bought one of these for my son when he was 14 months old. We love riding together on my bike. He is always so happy to be in the yepp seat and I love having him so close where I can see him.I have to say, having experienced an accident on the bicycle very recently, I am incredibly impressed (and relieved) at how well protected my son was in his seat. He didn't have a single scratch or bruise. I was pretty scratched up, but my son was absolutely unscathed. I would rate the safety of this seat as top-notch. Just make sure you both always, always wear a well-fitting helmet.
