nice! we are looking to use that one once she gets a little older, this is the only one you can use under a year. I tested it with a bag of potatoes after i installed it and you are right with the cog being high. Felt super weird haha
That's how I did it too.. it was awesomeThis is my solution for kids. Just have to wait a few months before she can sit in it. Its 9months +

Did you have any trouble the first couple of rides or did your kid seem to like it out of the gate?

Thats awesome! Im looking at trailers too
oh nice you used the exact same seat too. Thats reassuring!
Our daughters hated the trailer. It would double bounce them on any bumps on the gravel path we liked to take them on. We started with the thule ridealong chair on my cromag rootdown, and then moved up to the mac ride.
There’s like this $2,000 trailer that only has one wheel and it’s got an air shock with compression and rebound adjustment on it. I probably won’t ever buy that, but there’s a guy on YouTube in BC that takes it down some decent green trails and it seems to work really well. $2,000 though?…..

Love our Mac Ride. We started my first on it when he was almost two and started the second at about 17 months. My oldest is almost three now and rocks his Strider. This is about 99% of my bike time during this season of life:
Are you liking the strider, say vs a pedal bike with training wheels?Love our Mac Ride. We started my first on it when he was almost two and started the second at about 17 months. My oldest is almost three now and rocks his Strider. This is about 99% of my bike time during this season of life:

Well he's my first child so I don't actually know. But he loves it and I feel like his balance is really good starting with the mac ride and now the strider. Supposedly using a balance bike instead of training wheels teaches the child to balance before pedaling which is actually the hard part about riding a bike. He coasts down dirt hills and over tree roots with ease and rarely crashes these days. Check out this website: Homepage - https://www.twowheelingtots.com/
Good to know. That makes a lot of sense. We were going to go balance bike route i think
Bikes I no longer own…ignore the heap
