Discount Bike Trailers

Created by parents who were disappointed with the family bicycling options available, the iBert Safe-T Front Mounted Child Bicycle seat was made to offer families the best biking experience possible in safety and comfort. This front mounted seat offers both parent and child excellent range of vision, with the opportunity to interact as they bike together. Noted for its ease of use, the seat takes just a few minutes to install and remove, and it is equally easy and safe to load and unload the child from the seat. Providing plenty of clearance for the knees so that the adult can bike with ease, the seat is positioned so that it is easy to maintain the center of gravity. This adaptable seat fits any adult bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches of clearance on the handlebar stem.

The iBert Safe-T seat was developed after its creators became frustrated with the available bike seat options for children. They found that bike trailers kept their kids uncomfortably far away from them, got too hot in the sun, and only provided a limited view out to the children. The rear-mounted seats presented similar problems. The kids had a limited view and it was difficult to interact with them. Additionally, the balance of the bike was off and it was not easy to load and unload the kids. Other front mounted seats were complicated to hook onto the bike and difficult to remove. These seats also did not allow knee clearance for biking, and as a result were not comfortable.

The iBert Safe-T seat offers a variety of safety and comfort advantages compared to other child bike seat options. The iBert Safe-T seat allows you to maintain control of the bike when loading and unloading your child. To load and unload the child, you simply straddle the bike and lift the child into or out of the seat. When using the iBert seat you can always see what your child is doing and you can make sure that your child is safe and comfortable at all times. The center of gravity in the iBert seat is closer to the center of the bike making it easier to control the bike as you ride. The seat sits higher on the bike and is smooth on the bottom so that even tall riders rarely brush the bottom of the seat with their knees and if they do they just glide along the smooth edges on the bottom.

The iBert Safe-T seat is easy to install. The patented stinger assembly attaches to any bike with a minimum of 3/4 inches on the handle bar stem. The stinger system attaches to the bike in just two minutes and the seat can then be attached and detached from the stinger in 15 seconds. If you buy additional stinger assemblies the seat can be attached to multiple bikes.

The iBert Safe-T seat is made in the U.S.A. with safety and quality as the main objectives. While the iBert Safe-T seat is designed to meet all 1625-00 standards, at this time ASTM 1625-00 is written for rear child carriers not front mounted seats.

Customer Review: Not enough clearence
I have the same issue that the other one star reviewers have. While the seat seems promising, there just isn't enough clearance between the back of the seat and the bike seat if the bike seat is adjusted correctly. If you're seat is adjusted correctly you should not be able to put your feet flat on the ground while sitting on the seat. This makes it very difficult to ride with the child seat installed. You either need to lower the bike seat or lean considerably when stopped. For those who like to have their bike seat very low, this seat seems like it would be a lot of fun. It is very sturdy and easy to install. However, it is almost impossible to have the bike adjusted for an adult rider and have the seat installed correctly.
Customer Review: FANTASTIC! but unsafe shoulder straps
We all love this bike seat, my husband, me , and especially our daughter. It is great in every way, easy to install, comfortable and fun for the baby, comfortable for the adult, and easy to take off. BUT, and I think this is a kind of important but, the shoulder straps are set to far apart, so that she is not really securely straped in. They slide of and just don't hit her shoulders in the right spot. Maybe it's just my daughter, but I really don't think so....other than that we LOVE it.

Finally, mountain biking is also popular in this national forest. Refer to a forest map and look for the double dotted lines or un-shaded double solid lines that indicate primitive or dirt roads and you will see many jeep tracks, logging roads, and little used forest roads where motorized traffic is infrequent enough not to interfere with bike riding. The views are beautiful from most of the roads and throughout the forest.

Horse Springs campground is larger with many more sites and can accommodate larger RV's. As you look out between the canyon walls in each of these campgrounds, you'll see beautiful views of a narrow canyon floor, often dotted with small meadow-like areas and beautiful tall ponderosa pine. Some of the camp sites overlook the river, but river views are obstructed from many of the sites by surrounding trees and vegetation along the river banks.

If you prefer a small, tent only campground with direct views of a beautiful lake and meadow in the foreground and mountains in the background, try either Brookchar or Cutthroat campgrounds close to Springerville, AZ. Both campgrounds are located in a beautiful evergreen forest next to Big Lake and a large meadow at an elevation of approximately 9,100 feet. Most all of the sites at both campgrounds have good to excellent views of either the lake and/or meadow. Cutthroat campground sites 2, 3, 5 and 6 are closest to the lake and all of the sites at Brookchar have direct views of the lake.

Camping, hiking, biking and fishing with beautiful views are all available at Apache National Forest.

After setting up your camp site, explore nearby recreational opportunities for hiking, biking and fishing. For hikers, there are approximately 875 miles of trails. The Forest has four National Recreation Trails: Eagle, Blue Ridge, Escudilla, and General George Crook. There is also an interpretive trail along the Mogollon Rim with spectacular views of the Colorado Plateau and the Gila-Salt River watersheds - an easy hike for young and old on a self-guided interpretive trail about a mile long.

Ideally, all campgrounds would overlook a beautiful natural landscape that can be seen directly from most of the camp sites. Well, we all know that many if not most camgrounds don't meet this criteria; but here are several campgrounds located in Apache National Forest that do!

Canyons, meadows, rivers, lakes, mountains and pristine evergreen and mixed forests - campgrounds in Apache National Forest have beautiful views of all this and more including excellent recreational opportunities for fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.

Another campground with beautiful views that is just a few miles down a forest road from the five mentioned above is Buffalo Crossing campground. The canyon walls at this campground are shallower and the area between the walls is much wider than the other five campgrounds in this area. Some of the sites are in a beautiful open meadow between the canyon walls and some hug the edges of one of the canyon walls forested by tall majestic ponderosa pine. Several of the sites in the meadow have views of the Black River. Because of the open meadow, this campground has lots of sun.

Even though many of the camp sites don't have views of the river, you can still hear the sound of the moving water which enhances the sense of beauty of the area. The overall feeling of these campgrounds is rustic, pristine and beautiful. Since each of these five campgrounds are so close to one another, you might as well check out each one and pick out the one that suits you best, the views are similar but each has a slightly different character.

Fishing opportunities abound in the area as well. Apache National Forest is considered one of the top forests in the nation for fishing and contains over 450 miles of streams and nearly 2,000 surface acres of cold water lakes. Fish species include Arctic Grayling, Rainbow, German Brown, Brook, Apache, and Cutthroat trout.

Camping, Fishing, Biking and Hiking With Beautiful Views in the Apache National Forest

Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest is one of eleven National Forests in the Southwestern Region of Arizona and New Mexico and ranges in elevation from 3,500 feet to nearly 11,500 feet. It's named for the tribes that settled in this area. The area in Arizona from Mount Baldy east to Escudilla Mountain is often referred to as the White Mountains (discovered by James White in the early 1900s) and is where the campgrounds featured in this article are located - approximately 3 hours driving time from the Phoenix and Tucson metro areas.

If you have an RV or tent and prefer views of a river stream bordered by narrow canyon walls, try any of five campgrounds located along the East Fork of the Black River in a scenic narrow canyon forested with majestic tall evergreen trees at elevations ranging from approximately 7,500 to 7,950 feet. Diamond Rock, Aspen, Deer Creek, Raccoon and Horse Springs campgrounds are all within a very short driving distance of each other. Each of these campgrounds (except for Horse Springs) are small and secluded having twelve or less campsites and can accommodate small RV's.
