And it’s easy to sell used.Ī safe and secure ride: We think most parents would agree that safety is the most important criterion for a good kids bike seat. This bike seat also accommodates kids from 12 months, and up to 40 pounds. Like our top pick, the frame-mount version of the Nexxt Maxi weighs 10.1 pounds the rack-mount model is lighter, at 6.6 pounds. Overall, though, the seat felt safe and secure during rides-and it maintained a similarly stable ride to the Yepp Maxi. The wide-set positioning of its buckle also made it feel less secure for kids under 18 months or those with narrow shoulders. Even though it’s cool, the Nexxt Maxi’s new magnetic harness system seemed a little over-designed and more difficult to unlatch than the straps on the Yepp Maxi. And the upright seat angle is more apt to interfere with the back of a child’s helmet. The styrofoam-like seat material is less forgiving-and thus less comfortable for young passengers-than that of our pick.
However, the seat itself has a few small design flaws that place it in runner-up status. If you’re planning to frequently alternate between riding with and without the seat, we’d recommend this model over the Yepp Maxi. The Yepp Nexxt Maxi (a similar seat from the same parent company) has a quick-release frame-mount system we think the Nexxt Maxi’s frame-mount system is preferable to our top pick’s because it’s simpler to attach and easier to transfer from bike to bike.
