I like it, on rides it works for a while then my toddler starts getting cranky. My wife discovered his back had red marks on it from the backing. I'm wondering if anyone found some type of softer padding to put on the back part?
Side note: mine was missing some parts, customer service was great in getting it to me.

Defective-Known Issue with No Known Solution
September 9, 2022
The knob on the back that is used to tighten or loosen the device gets stuck and you cannot turn it-doesn't matter if it's locked or unlocked. Once this happens the device is 100% useless. This is a known issue, there are multiple reports on the internet but nobody has a solution. This is unacceptable for a device that costs so much money. I would not recommend that anyone waste their money on this model until Thule holds itself accountable for the design flaw, offers a solution to existing customers and releases an update. Zero stars

Great Child Seat
July 16, 2022
We bought the Yep Nexxt Maxi a couple months ago for my two year old daughter. She absolutely loves it. The construction is solid and the frame mounting provides a good amount of shock absorption. I really like it too. Unlike the front mounted seat we have before, it has no impact on my riding style and does not interfere with stopping and starting when riding in traffic. The harness is great, but you have to make sure you get it tight around the legs before snugging around the shoulders, or the shoulders can become loose as the webbing around the legs tightens. The foot holders are fantastic. They hold tight during the ride and prevent errant kicking and are east to secure and remove.

Could have been a great product
June 20, 2022
I have been using this seat for a year now, the overall design and look is nice, but there are some issues: 1) It has no adapters for small or non-standard frame sizes, but it did fit my old 26" wheels 18" size frame with no issues. I could not mount it to one of my 28" wheels comfort bike 2) Black side panels are too wide and may interfere with your feet when pedaling 3) This is where I got disappointed the most, instruction says to torque bolts to 5 Nm, this crushed my frame tube and damaged the bike (used torque wrench). 4) Seat has too hard padding 5) It is good that the belts are 5-point mount, however upper portion of the belts on the shoulders seems to slip a little bit and need to watch out for that.

Child loves this seat!

Our child really enjoys this bike seat and going on family bike rides. We went with Thule brand for the safety and craftsmanship associated with the name. I feel very safe with her traveling in this seat.

I just bought this product, and doesn't work.
I Have a trek x-caliber 7 and my wife a Specialized Rockhopper Sport, but doesn't fit to anyone.
The seat crush with the rear wheel, it's not posible to install.
Very disappointed because the seller tell me this product fit with my bikes.

Essayé pour la première fois hier et nous avons adoré! Seule problématique: mes pieds frottent sur la base du siège lorsque je pédale... Solution? Tried for the first time yesterday and loved it except that the overhang on the feet shields do not provide enough heal clearance for pedaling... Any solution?

Great product, super easy install
May 5, 2020
Bought the seat for my toddler so we could share some fresh air while keeping socially distant. The installation took less than twenty minutes and taking the seat on and off as needed is a breeze. Riding with my son on the back is as good as can be expected, though standing up from the saddle to get up a hill is not something I can recommend as the seat whips as the bike rocks back and forth.

Great product

This product is very user friendly and easy to install. My kid loves to seat on it. The seat bell system is nice and secured. My kid has no complain about it so far. I love how easy to install and able to adjust. Love it!

NOT COMFORTABLE
April 19, 2020
I specifically bought this seat because it states the seat has soft padding for child comfort. The seat does not have soft padding. It has HARD, painted, scratchy, styrofoam. The harness pads are more 'comfortable' (I use that term loosely) than the seat. The harness pads are made with an extremely thin foam. The seat they sit on seems like a hard plastic-y foam (very weird). For the price, you'd definitely think their would be actual comfort. I would not recommend if you want comfort. Stick to a regular plastic seat.
