Reviews

Great child seat

"Overall solid child seat. The only complaint I have is the storage pocket in the back can only manage very light loads."

— Janella B. (4/5)

Poor Harness Design

"I really like most aspects of the Burley Dash RM bike seat for my 22 month old son, but it has some significant flaws when it comes to the harness restraint system. It took my 22 month old about 5 minutes to figure out how to get his arms out of the harness due to the lack of a chest clip. I have found this complaint across other reviews now and wish I had seen that earlier. The foot restraints are rock solid, but now that he knows he can escape the shoulder straps, it takes him about 10 seconds after we start moving to free himself. For the price, I expected much better. I will need to buy an aftermarket clip or harness or design something myself before I will feel safe riding with my child again."

— Bill W. (3/5)

Not bad

"Seat kinda forces the kid to lean forward"

— Ryder B. (5/5)

Great bike seat

"Easy install on my existing rack! 1 year old is a big fan, and makes our daycare commute much more fun than a boring car. Seat is sturdy, and I was surprised how stable it felt on my bike. Ordered online and it came promptly. Includes helpful installation instructions."

— Kristen B. (5/5)

Seems comfortable for the kids. Not compatible with my Bike Friday.

"I bought two of the rack-mounted version to stick on the back of a Bike Friday Haul-a-Day Elite. The part of the seat that is meant to keep the passengers' feet out of the spokes was not straight. Some of them bent inward towards the wheel and created issues sliding the seat onto the rack and got caught on the cargo bag/hammocks. Some bent outwards and then the back of my foot bumped into them. It would be nice if they were removable. Also, the seats don't fit the bike if the top platform is installed on the back. That's more on Bike Friday, but they are intertwined companies and should be compatible."

— Jacob S. (3/5)

Great Child seat for E-Bike

"I bought this seat for my Trek Powerfly Gen 4. It was easy to install with an seat post clamp adapter. My 15 month old son loves riding in it."

— Lindsay J. (5/5)

10/10 product. !

"Love this seat! My toddler and I couldn’t be happier. She just turned two and has loved getting to be right with me when I bike through the neighborhood! It was incredibly easy to attach to my bike. I did have to fight the straps a bit to get them adjusted but once I figured it out they work perfectly. Very secure. I feel confident with my little one behind me."

— Kristina B. (5/5)

Good choice

"This is a comfortable bike seat. It is easy to attach to your bike and also adjusting the straps to the right size goes easy. The little basket on the backside is very handy to take a small plaid or rain jacket with you."

— Ruth J. (5/5)

Great quality

"Great quality product, super easy to install and transfer from my bike to my wife’s. My daughter feels safe in it and I feel comfortable that it’s secured nicely to the bike. 10/10 recommend."

— Stephen M. (5/5)

Dash RM

"My 3 yr old says she's very uncomfortable in this seat. She leans to far forward and can't turn her head without hitting my back. Burley said I could not return because I already tried it on the bike. I ended up buying a Thule and she loves it."

— Thomas C. (2/5)
