Not enough space between front mounted child bike seat and rider I ride a city bike. We recently switched from using a trailer to a front bike seat for transporting our son:



Unfortunately, the back of the child seat (Yepp Mini) does not leave much space for me to mount/unmount comfortably. We also considered the bobike seat, but I think I'll face the same problem.

Is there a way I can use a front bike seat without buying a new bike? I am not so tall, so there are not many bikes that suit me.

We live in the Netherlands.
I found something called a "mother steering" ("moederstuur" in Dutch). We replaced the steering bar of our bike with this, and viola, ~20cms of extra space between me and the mounting point of the bike seat!





Disclaimer: the steering we bought is heavier than the original steering, it took a couple of days to get used to it

There seem to be a few different such products, serving a similar function, at least available in the Netherlands.
