I bought this child seat after a using a similar seat on a vacation in Belgium and my son has really loved it. Riding in this seat is one of his favorite activities and he constantly points toward the bike whenever we pass it in the garage. This is easily some of the best money that we’ve ever spent on a child product as it allows me to exercise while giving my son enjoyment at the same time. I initially thought a trailer would be best but then saw how much he enjoyed the behind the saddle seat in Belgium and changed my mind. We now have a rack on two bikes and can easily transfer the seat to either bike. I can’t speak for the shock system since I’ve never actually ridden in the seat. My only small complaint is that the padding on the seat does not stay in place very well but this mainly due to the fact that it must come off in order to adjust straps as your child grows. My son started riding in this at 9 months and I’m hoping that he can continue using it until he’s at least 3. If you enjoy biking or are looking to exercise with your child, I would highly recommend this seat!

WARNING – Topeak has recently changed this product so that the rack can also accommodate their MTX line of trunk bags in addition to the child seat. However the new models are not at all compatible with the old models which are still for sale. Check the Topeak website to compare model numbers and make sure that you get the new model if you do not already own the old one as the trunk bag feature adds even more value.

My mother-in-law is in her 80’s so I try to help out where I can. A while back I offered to vacuum her place. She had a bagless dirt devil that she was unable to use due to limited mobility in one of her hands. The cup that held the dirt was even hard for me to change without significant effort. We bought her the Hoover Tempo U5140-900 upright and solved her problem. Yes, she again has to change a bag once in a while, but at least she can use it. It is light weight and easy to use. The price was very economical too. She has regained a little measure of independence.

The thing is pretty simple so it’s not like there’s a lot to review.

One thing I’ve disliked about every OTHER scale I’ve ever used (except for the calibrated balances at the Dr’s offices) is that not only do they vary all over the map, but they are not even repeatable. You get on the things, they tell you you weigh X. You get off and step right back on and they tell you you weigh X +/- a few pounds (or even more.) It is frustrating and misleading at the very least.

Not this thing, just tap it with your foot to wake it up (or tap it twice if it’s sound asleep), wait for it to zero itself out, and step on it. Done. And it’s repeatable.

And I appreciate the fact that it doesn’t look like the same spring scales that have adorned bathrooms/workout-rooms for the better part of a century… It looks sleak and modern and, well, functional. And as others have said, I appreciate that the dial is easily readable, even from 6+ feet away!

Anyways, a simple, easy to read, repeatable, reliable, attractively styled product that performs a simple function with simple features and functionality and does so well.

What more can one ask for????
