Backpack style harness
This harness is the standout feature for the RideaAlong, and hands down the best and easiest to use harness of any child bike seat on the market. The wide, sturdy back-pack style straps stay in place better than any other straps we’ve tested.
Pull the harness over your child’s head, and then to tighten, simply pull down on the excess strap. To loosen, push the blue button and pull up. Seriously the EASIEST TO USE EVER.
To set the straps at the appropriate height for your rider, the entire harness slides up and down the back of the seat so you can set it at exactly the right height, and easily adjust as your child grows. The RideAlong is one of only two seats to have a continuously adjustable harness like this.
The buckle snaps securely in place and can easily be undone with one hand by an adult, but requires too much force for a child to manage to unbuckle themselves.
Sooo easy to use
The blue color-coding system of the Thule RideAlong makes this seat pretty foolproof. Anything on the seat that can be adjusted is blue. From shoulder strap height and shoulder strap tightening and loosening to the buckle, recline, and footrest… the adjustment mechanisms are all blue! Almost all adjustments can be done using just one hand, leaving your other hand free to hold up your bike! It’s the little details like this that make every Thule product so easy to use, making it just that much easier to get your little ones out for a ride.
Recline!
The RideAlong is one of few child bike seats that can recline and is definitely easier to recline than most other seats. The reclining mechanism simply requires pulling up one lever beneath the seat, which allows the other hand to hold the bike in place. This can be done on the fly if you come to a stop in the middle of your ride! There are 5 different recline positions.
Adjustable footrests
By sliding the footrest up or down, you can quickly adjust these foot platforms to be at a perfectly comfortable height for your child. The foot straps snap in place on the side. The tightness of the footstraps is a bit trickier to adjust than most other footsteps, and we’ve found that determined kids can pretty easily remove their feet. The foot straps are about the only thing we wish they’d improve on this otherwise excellent seat.
Padding
The sturdy, water-repellent padding is thin, but dense, offering enough cushioning without being bulky. It can easily be removed for washing, and is also reversible for you to choose your color preference! As you can see, there are no ventilation holes for airflow during hot weather. Whether or not that will be an issue for you depends on your climate and the season you’ll be riding in.
Mounting/Unmounting is a breeze!
The Thule RideAlong is only available as a rear frame-mounted seat. In order to mount the RideAlong on your bike, you need about 6” clear of wires on your bike’s frame to install the mounting bracket.
Once the mounting bracket is installed on your bike and the mounting bars are installed on the seat, you simply push the bars into the mounting bracket until an audible click is heard. To take it off, pull on the blue button on the mounting bracket’s face and pull the mounting bars out!
One helpful feature of the RideAlong’s mounting system is the optional low saddle (seat adapter). If you ride with your saddle within an inch or so of its lowest position, it can be difficult to mount a rear-frame seat because of clearance issues. The low-saddle adapter helps solve this issue!
So what’s the bottom line?
Effortlessly adjustable, incredibly durable, and also reclinable, the Thule RideAlong is one of the best seat money can buy and is truly worth the slightly higher investment.
