We've just put one on my wife's bike, primarily for our 3.5 year old who loves it. His sister has also had a go, she's 2 in october and was fine, although she seemed keen to take her hands off the bars to play with the bell. Given a little more time I'm sure she would be no problem at all.
I wish they weren't so expensive as I'd get another one to replace the rear mounted seat on my bike. It seems so much more fun having them upfront, although depending on the size of bike you might find it clashes with your knees.

I just saw this.
I really liked the Dolittle seat. My son will be 5 in November, and was fine on the seat. I think because he rides his own bike and was on a balance bike, he was fine on there... on that note, I’m not sure how he would’ve gone on there when he was younger. They are also between your arms, so you have some control over them.
The only reason I’ve stopped using it is because I have a rack mounted Yepp Maxi because I want to go for longer rides with him. He starts getting restless on there after about 30 minutes. I’d like to put it on another bike though.

So I am toying with the idea of one of these front mount seat only child seats like fitted on @Verbs_&_Nouns fantastic Dad machine.
Specifically was looking at the Shotgun for ease of availability and quality. My daughter was 2 last month so just inside the age range of these types of seats but does anyone have any experience of riding with a fearless and borderline wild 2 year old on one of these?
Seems like great fun and she would love it but obviously no retraints etc etc. She is already 15KG so most front mounts seats are already redundant.
