When can your little one join you in a front bike seat?

The best memories are made together – your little one in front, close to you, catching the wind and watching the world go by. But when exactly can your baby ride in a front seat? And what should you consider to keep things safe and fun? We’ll explain everything you need to know.

Your baby can join you on the bike from around 9 months

The Urban Iki front bike seat is suitable for babies and toddlers from around 9 months old – that’s the age when most children can sit upright on their own. This is essential for safe cycling.

Not sure if your baby is ready? Just check if they can sit up steadily without support for longer periods. That’s key to ensuring stability during your ride.

Age & weight guidelines

  • Age: suitable from ± 9 months to 3 years
  • Weight: up to 15 kg
  • Height: up to 93 cm

If your child is heavier than 15 kg, taller than 93 cm or older than 3, it’s time to switch to an Urban Iki rear seat. These provide more space, support more weight, and remain comfortable as your child grows.

Ride safe – every time

At Urban Iki, safety always comes first. All our front seats meet the strict European safety standard (EN14344) and are tested and approved by the independent German TÜV institute. That way, you know your child is safe – every ride.

5-point safety harness

Urban Iki front seats come with a secure 5-point safety harness that goes over both shoulders and legs, keeping your child safe and firmly in place – no slipping or standing up.

Easy to use

The seat installs in just a few minutes and adjusts to your child’s size effortlessly. So even the tiniest riders can enjoy every ride – whether it’s a quick trip to daycare or a beautiful ride through the park.
