 He loves it! July 28, 2008

We purchased this product after shopping around several similar products and reading reviews. We needed a seat that would accommadate our 3 year old that is taller than most 5 year olds. There was a learning curve to installing the seat the first time and to getting on the bike with a 45 lb child on the back, but both she and her dad love it. The seat is comfortable for her - she has even fallen asleep in it. It is stable enough that her dad feels secure with her riding behind him. Now the whole family can ride together.
Great Seat for "Big Kids" July 25, 2008
Got this for my daughter and it JUST fits on my bike (ladies Raleigh mountain bike). Make sure you check that you have Kettler's recommended 6" of vertical frame free for installation (PDF can be found on their website showing bikes that can and cannot be fitted with this seat).
My daughter is 4 and loves the seat. It's also much better for negotiating suburban sidewalks than a trailer (plus you can have a decent conversation with your child, too).
I got this because it has the highest weight limit by 10lbs of all the seats I could find. My daughter will easily outgrow it height-wise before she reaches 50lbs.
The extra money for this seat is worth it. The construction is great and despite having fretted about the many complaints about the instructions if you actually READ them (there is some writing on there and it's not the usual safety blurb us old-hand parents usually ignore,) they are OK. Don't try and put it together in a hurry though, because there is a lot of attention to detail required.
I gave it five because it is just right for those with "big kids" who are not quite balanced enough for those cool handlebar-and-one-wheel contraptions which hook on the back of the parents' bike. A great seat for pre-schoolers and younger kids alike, with a smooth ride for the kid and peace of mind for mom or dad.
My only complaint is that there is an optional lock for it, so no-one can steal it off the back of your bike, but that has to be ordered by phone from Germany. Eek...

Our son is just over 2 years old, 37 inches and about 36 lbs. It was very hard to find a bike seat that would hold his weight for now and for a while longer.
This Flipper is one of the few I could find and we decided to go with this due to the good price I got.
The bike seat was easy to assemble to the bike and the rides are great! Our son loves to go on a bike ride. He sits very comfortable and this seat will be big enough for another year or more. There is lots more to grow length wise and this seat holds up to 50 lbs! Fantastic - recommended for everyone that wants a comfortable and safe/sturdy bike seat for your precious one!
 Great product October 18, 2007
Great Bike seat. This seat is made very well and appears to be engineered very smartly. The only complaint I have is that the directions are not at all user-friendly. Pictures only, which makes installation somewhat frustrating. The seat works great, though, so I'm happy.

This seat works allright, but putting it together is not that easy. Also I am always afraid that if I fall over with the bike,that my babys face will hit the floor and will have to take the entire force of the fall.
