My Moulton APB and Mk3 at the beach. The Mk3 is fitted with a Kangaroo Weeride, centre-mounted child seat.
Being centre mounted, it is exceptionally stable, and balance is not affected at all. The WeeRide features a padded headrest, which protects against the child hitting their face/head against the stem, and allows the child to rest their head if they get tired. My daughter derives great amusement from ringing the bell, which she can easily reach.
The Mk3 has a relatively short top-tube length (distance from head tube to seat tube). Riding the Mk3 with the WeeRide fitted, long-legged riders can find their knees need to move outwards a little to clear the child seat. This can be reduced by mounting the Wee Ride at the forward-most extreme of it's range of adjustment. This might become uncomfortable on longer ride - though I find it quite acceptable on leisurely rides of 5 or 6 miles.
I purchased the WeeRide from Seats For Kids in the UK
Would the writer of this article please contact me via email – johnstolarski AT mac DOT com – regarding the mounting of the seat. Is it a self-made strut, or did it come with the seat? Do you think I could fit it to my APB?
I should have followed the link to Seats for Kids! The supporting bar comes with the seat.
Do you know if the WeeRide will fit other Moultons, eg. the TSR 9 or TSR30?
