If you’re looking to include a little one in your two-wheeled travels, a kids bike seat is likely the simplest and most affordable way to go.I’ve spent over 100 hours researching more than two dozen kids bike seats, and I’ve ridden 1,000-plus miles in and around Austin, Texas, with 13 different seats since 2020, including putting 150 miles in while testing new models in 2025.After all that, I’m confident the Thule Yepp 2 Maxi is the best rear-mount seat. And there’s no better front-mount seat than the Thule Yepp Nexxt 2 Mini. (Kids age out of front-mount seats sooner.)
