(More customer reviews)We have had this carrier for a month now and use it frequently and really like it.
The box and instructions suggest that your professional bike shop install this carrier and we would agree. Due to our distance to a bike shop, we ended up installing it ourselves and it was tricky. We did call a bike shop for guidance and did get it on ourselves. But if you can get free installation, we would recommend you take advantage of it.
If you are curious about the installation, you can go to the Topeak website and download the installation guide/owner's manual and see if you are up to the challenge.
Also, it would be good to read about installation before buying because this bracket will only mount to certain bikes. It is designed for bikes with seatstay rack mounts and dropout eyelets only. They also warn that it cannot be used with bikes with rear suspension or disc brakes. My husband has a Trek aluminum frame mountain bike and it does work on his bike. Again, this would be a good reason to talk to someone at a bike shop before buying.
After installation, using this carrier has been great. The carrier comes in three parts. There is a bracket that is mounted on the bike and the baby seat that can be easily removed and stored when not in use. The third part is a slide lock that attaches the baby seat to the bracket.
Our 21 month old child seems very comfortable in the carrier and it is great to use.
Our only complaint is that the Grab bar in front is tough to snap off/on. So we always just leave it on and slide our child in and out behind it.

The Topeak Baby Bike Seat is designed to cradle small children, up to 40 pounds in a full-body, protective cocoon shell of molded engineered plastic.
