Good product.. but we'd hoped for more. See why.

Pros: Sturdy & Durable, high back, Secures well to bike, removable cushion
Cons: No easy release from bike, no 5 pt harness, straps attach far above shoulders.
The Bottom Line: A durable, quality seat; however, it is not up to date with the latest conveniences and safety features.

| skfayer's Full Review: Fisher Price 1-2-3 Bicycle Child Carrier |
You have to be picky with a back bike seat.. you can't see your child, and they can be tossed about back there. So here's some thoughts on this bike seat.
PROS
*Durable/Sturdy - we picked the seat up second hand, and although clearly well used, it was completely intact.
*High back - Young children need support for their neck and head in case you stop suddenly. It causes problems with the helmet hitting the back constantly, but its a price we gladly pay for safety.
*We were impressed with how securely the seat bolts to the bike.
*The cushion is easily removed and washed.
CONS
*No Easy Release - I was hoping to easily remove the seat to bike alone. Unfortunately, with the way this is secured, its not possible.
*Straps - not only is it not 5 pts straps, the straps are not adjustable to the correct shoulder height. I'm not able to buckle my daughter so that she is tightly secured (she can still work her arms out above her shoulders) I'm not sure why Fisher price skimped here.
These 2 "cons" bother me a bit too much to be completely satisfied with this product. It is a reliable, quality product with 2 major deficiencies.
