The iBert Safe-T-Seat mounts to the front of the bike. It angles backward, offering the cyclist more knee room when pedaling. The manufacturer-provided stinger attachment system allows the parent to install it in about two minutes; she then fits the seat to the stinger. This makes the Safe-T-Seat convenient when needing to switch bikes.
The Safe-T-Seat earned the British Standard safety rating but not the American Standard, because so far only rear-mounted seats qualify. The devise also earned the 2007 Choice of the Year Award from "Creative Child" Magazine.

Kids Weighing Up to 40 Pounds
The Kangaroo center-mounted child bicycle carrier is one of the best child seats for a toddler or preschooler weighing up to 40 pounds. It mounts in front of the rider, which allows constant visual supervision of the child. This mounting option also makes verbal communication with the child possible. The weight distribution of the centrally mounted seat maintains proper bicycle balance.
BizziBaby parents tried the Kangaroo and gave it high marks. Ratings are consistently in the high fours out of a possible five. They note the ease of installation, the optional center bar that makes the seat possible to place on a women's bike, and the safety the children enjoy when buckled in.
