This is a hugely significant difference between a WeeRide and rear-mounted seats.
Because the child falls asleep between your arms, on the balance of the bike you can continue riding safely - not usually the case with a rear-mounted seat.
This means you can go for day trips and not worry about the journey home when the little one will be asleep within 5 mins!

We're delighted to bring the Limited Edition WeeRide to the Australian market.
The ultimate in child comfort and safety! All the features of the WeeRide carrier, but with the added bonus of thick seat and back padding as well as a padded shoulder harness. Also exclusive to the LTD is the deluxe safety harness with oversized buckle system. You get the same improved passenger carrying position of our Center Mount seat with more child interaction and safer weight distribution. But we’ve taken it to a sofa level! The WeeRide LTD is not only the most plush carrier we make, it’s the most comfortable bicycle child carrier made.
We occasionally get parents keen to buy a WeeRide, who look at the maximum weight guidelines (18 Kilos), look at their child and think the seat will be too small or they'll out-grow it too quickly - they're wrong!
Firstly, it's important to remember that for babies, the first year of life is a time when they grow very rapidly. On average, a 3.2kg baby will end its first year at around 10kg, more than triple its birth weight. Growth slows down in the second year with, on average, two to three kilos added each year until the next major growth 'spurt' at puberty
So when can you start using a WeeRide, and when will your child out-grow it?
The short answer is that in Australia there is no law that specifies a minimum age, although the law requires that child must wear a helmet. That said - common sense would suggest it's around the age of 1 - since that is when a baby's neck is strong enough to hold a helmet. Of course all childern are different, we started riding with our daughter when she was about 10 months old, following advice from our GP..
