Bell Cocoon 300 Child Bicycle Carrier

Took a while to get onto my beach cruiser bike but it works great. Making a long of great memories. Feels sturdy and safe, just took about 1.5 hours to get on, but that was partly because a screw was being difficult on my bike itself, and that caused a delay. Great seat!

I recently started using the Bell COCOON 300 Child Bicycle Carrier, and it has quickly become a favorite in our family, especially during the fall season.First off, the sturdiness of this carrier is impressive. It feels incredibly well-built, providing peace of mind knowing that my child is secure while we ride. The installation was straightforward, and it fits seamlessly on my bike. The adjustable straps and harness ensure a snug and safe fit for my little one, which is always a top priority.What really stands out is how much my kids love it! They enjoy the view and the feeling of being part of the adventure as we cruise through the colorful fall foliage. The padded seat adds extra comfort for longer rides, and the added safety features make every outing enjoyable for both of us.Overall, it’s a sturdy, reliable, and fun way to include my child in our biking adventure, and I highly recommend this carrier for any family looking to enjoy the outdoors together.

Functions perfectly, although the assembly was difficult. I have a fairly standard fixed gear bicycle that shouldn’t be difficult to outfit a seat to as there really aren’t many moving parts, but the seat post part of it had to be adapted to the child seat. I’ve taken two trips to the beach already and a few trips around the neighborhood and to the park. Little seems to enjoy it a lot. It feels pretty stable and once the seat was in place, it’s really easy to use. Bike rides with my daughter bring me great joy and gratitude.

So great for the price. My son loves using this so much. Everyday he asks to go ride.

This was a terrible purchase. The plastic of the seat is so cheaply made, I would not feel safe leaving my child in it. It was flimsy, and felt like paper. Though I suppose that makes it light weight for riding ease, I was not comfortable with it.Needless to say, I still attempted and took it to a Bike Shop for installation. Even the bike mechanics thought this was a terrible product (and NO they did NOT try to sell me a different one - they just told me to get rid of this one altogether).Let me start by saying what the biggest problem is. The seat has no extending hardware, which means it only reaches as far as the small connector piece can reach. The picture sort of shows this, but not nearly to the extent it actually sits. This child seat was right up against the back of my seat. I ride a beach cruiser, and after lots of online research, found this to be a beach cruiser compatible child seat. WRONG!This chair was up against my chair, and the child handlebar was actually sitting ON my bike seat. If I tried to sit down, I sat on the child handlebar. That isn't even the worst of it. My child, who is 2 years old and 25 lbs, could not even comfortably get into the chair. We had to take some serious time to get him into it, because my bike seat was completely in his way. When he was finally sitting in it, his little legs were almost doing splits to fit around my adult seat. AND they did not even get around the seat entirely. So had I got on my bike, I would have been sitting on the handlebar AND my son's legs. And he is a little guy.I realize most of these chairs are close to the adult seat, but this was ridiculous. Also, many other chair types come with an extending piece of hardware that place the chair further back. Though I am not nearly the size of this woman in the photo, this is what I envisioned for my poor child if I actually used this product: [...] (see the link or google "fat lady child carrier"). And take a close look, that seat in the photo IS the Bell Classic Child Carrier. I wish I had seen this photo before I bought it.Then there is another safety issue. The wheel guard is terrible. It is a flimsy, cheap piece of plastic, which looks much like a piece of paper, and it basically attaches with twist ties over the tire. This is to keep the child's feet from getting stuck in the wheel, so it is very important to be safe and sturdy, which this IS NOT.I am so disappointed in this seat and have already issued a request to return it.

We are totally in love with this comfortable seat. Easy to assemble and very light weight.I won't call it very sturdy but still workable for the weight of babies.Even my 5 year old son sits on it to ride with me.

My little one loves this, and I love being able to share a favorite hobby! I have a beach cruiser and it works perfectly. I think a taller person would have trouble having baby between their legs, but really you should have a larger bike at that point and there should theoretically be more clearance. It's so hot and this has been a way to beat the heat/mosquitoes.

This is great seat for our bike and fit the needs for an 18 month old.Assembly and attaching to bike was fairly straightforward and easy
