Front-Mounted Bike Seats

The Mac Ride Sits Your Small Child In Between You and the Handlebars

— June 14, 2014 — Autos
If you have ever wanted to take your child on a bicycle ride without precariously strapping a seat to the back or towing a small nylon and mesh camper behind you, you're going to want to contribute to the Mac Ride Kickstarter right about now (or in the next 29 days or so).

The crowdfunded campaign is for a child's seat that fits onto adult mountain bikes. The minimalist design places your child in the front, in between you and the handlebars, so you can ensure their safety and enjoy the ride together. The front-mounting feature further engages the child while also being more ergonomic. The easy to install seat grows with your child thanks to its extendable legs and movable quality. It also makes commutes and child swapping easier as it is travel friendly.
Trend Themes
1. Front-mounted Bike Seats - The trend is towards minimalistic and ergonomic bike seats that are front-mounted to provide a safer and more engaging experience for the child.
2. Child Transport on Bicycles - The trend is towards safer and more innovative methods of transporting young children on bicycles in a manner that also allows for a more engaging experience for the child.
3. Modular Bike Accessories - The trend is towards modular bike accessories that can be easily adapted and customized to suit a variety of different uses, such as child transportation, commuting and travel.
Industry Implications
1. Bicycle Manufacturing - Bicycle manufacturers can capitalize on the growing trend of front-mounted child seats by developing and marketing unique and innovative designs.
2. Childcare and Family Services - Childcare and family service providers can capitalize on the trend of safer and more innovative methods of child transportation by offering training and educational resources to parents and caregivers.
3. Travel and Tourism - Travel and tourism companies can capitalize on the trend of modular bike accessories by developing and marketing travel-friendly bike accessories that allow cyclists to explore new destinations.
