I used these for about 6 months commuting.
They are ok but did eject themselves a couple of times, fortunately nothing bad happened but it could cause a crash if you're unlucky. The biggest downside is that they still have float so don't really provide a stable base, you get used it it after a while but they aren't great.
I've since replaced them with these and the difference is massive, wish I'd done it sooner.

Ok cheers - good to know. I reckon I’ll probably give them a miss then and just get some spd/platform pedals of some sort. I’d need the platforms Reasonably often but not for very long journeys - probably not worth getting the XTs, but some £30 jobs might be better than sketchy pedals with a kid on the back.

How rubbish are these? Just want to be able to use normal shoes on a bike every now and again for nursery drop off, local shops etc.
Seems like a good cheap option unless they’re utter shit, in which case I’ll get dual use pedals.
