Oxford Unisex Little Explorer Top Tube Mounted Child Seat, Black, Ideal for ages 3-6 years 22Kg weight limit UK

Product Information

I have to say that on our Leco I don’t think this was ever of much use to my child, as he was always leaning forward to hold onto the handlebars, and was certainly in the way when I was riding the bike without him in it. There were definitely risks with getting bruised by the metal if you landed on it, so in my opinion this is a good move by Oxford. I have one question: is the height and horizontal angle of the Little Explorer variable, or is the seat always going to be parallel to the top tube and fixed directly to the tube itself without any vertical adjustment? Our advice is to take your time studying factors like the reputation of the brand, the materials used to manufacture the product and also comparing it to other products of a similar price in the Child Seats category. However, every product is different, and every brand has its budget products and big flops. Make sure to research the exact product you’re looking at to see if the quality is worthy of the brand it represents. Don’t go for the cheapest thing Please allow a minimum of 15 working days from receipt of returned item(s) for repair/replacement under warranty. We expect to be able to return the items within a maximum 30 working days, however, specific timescales can change based on the requirements of the individual case.

Long time Cycle Sprog followers with good memories may recall that one of my all time favourite things when the Sprogs were about 3 years and over was our Oxford Leco Top Tube seat. The footpegs on the Little Explorer look to be slightly redesigned. We ended up removing the fabric restraints on our Leco at the point the shoes got too big to fit, and this looks like this might still need to be done, but by that time your child should know not to move their feet off the pegs. It’s a pity, as this used to be a very cheap way for parents to try out commuting to nursery / school. However, at less than the cost of a full tank of petrol, the Little Explorer is still, to my mind, excellent value for money. A couple of things to note about the Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Bike Seat Safety should always come first. You should never skimp when buying bicycle gear because it could one day save your life. You (hopefully) would never cut corners on your helmet, so you shouldn’t act any differently to the rest of your gear. Join the Family Cycling UK Facebook Group and search the group for similar questions. If someone hasn't asked about your specific type of bike then post your own question - there's usually someone who has fitted a seat to a similar type of bike.Once a warranty claim has been placed we will review the claim and advise on an appropriate course of action, please do not return your item until you have spoken to an advisor.

Balance of the bike is good as the considerable extra weight of a 2-4 yr old is placed lower and central. The further from centre of gravity and higher postioned any extra weight is, the bigger the negative effect on balance which is a definite plus for this system versus a rear mount seat. I wrote about how this felt for me here(and I still get teary thinking about it – not many family cycling products have done that to me!!!) Where to buy the Oxford Little Explorer Front Bike Seat

Sometimes we aren’t always able to store a bike in a warm, safe place. People living in shared accommodation, student housing, flats or other types of arrangements may not be allowed to keep their bicycle in communal areas (where space is usually the biggest). Crossbar mount seats– Seats which do exactly as they say, sit on the adult bike crossbar to position the child in fron of the adult. Lots of modern bike frames have a top tube which is far from being horizontal and which is also quite close to the lower tube which might affect the spacing between the kiddie seat and the kiddie footrests.
