Reviews for CoPilot Limo child bike seat

Not all bikes come with seat stays bosses! (holes) You need these in order to mount the rack to your frame. I have three bikes and this seat and rack fit NONE of them without those holes. Such a bummer. great looking seat poor versatility.

I've owned this for 7 years - bought it for our first son when he was one. Very comfy and safe ride. Great clearance for the adult and child so neither one of you is squished against the other. I've also used it with our daughter. She was completely protected when I tipped over on my bike (younger boy cut us off) and she had no hesitation in keeping riding. Fits very well from age 1 to about 4 yrs (our daughter has now turned 4 and is just about too big for it). No issues with it at all, we're very happy with it and would highly recommend it.

Great seat if you can mount it! Mounting bracket will not work with disk brakes. Additionally, the extender arms for mounting will not work with all bikes and bike seats. The written directions are good and the installation hotline is helpful, but the guide and the hotline can't make up for the fact that the rack system does not work with all bikes.

The seat itself is nice, the padding, harness, footrest all work out fine. After much research, we chose this seat because of the reclining backrest. In reality the seat does not recline enough in order for the head (with helmet) of the child to remain upright while sleeping. My son fell asleep on his first ride and his head ended up hanging forward, resting with the helmet visor on the safety bar. In that position the otherwise perfect harness ends up scratching his neck. We also tried to get a less bulky helmet (we have a Giro ME2, which we love)but the problem remained. Maybe without helmet his head would remain up, but I'd rather keep him safe...without the advantage of the reclining backrest, the other features of the seat do not justify its price. We ended up returning the seat.

Would not fit properly on my trek hybrid bike. I would not have been able to go into lowest. Looks like a great seat just beware it may not work on all bike styles.

Comments from The Staff:

Thank you for your comments. We do have the instruction manual available on the product page of our site which gives a pretty detailed view of installations. There is also an 800 number to the company if the seat will not install on your bike. Most bike seats are a bit of a challenge to install, but once done, provide a fun and safe way to take kids along on your biking adventures
Thanks again!

We are very happy with the seat. The rack it comes with also works great for luggage without the seat. I was out biking today with my 32 lb son on back and he had a blast.

So easy to to install, and use. Quick in & out for the little one. Super comfy, (mine falls asleep in it).
