Bell Cocoon 300 Child Bicycle Carrier

Bought this for the summer. Our 2 year old fits perfectly in it and it fits great on my Huffy cruiser! We use it almost daily. It was a bit tricky to install, but it works just fine!

Very secure works great. My newly 2 year old enjoys it.

Functions perfectly, although the assembly was difficult. I have a fairly standard fixed gear bicycle that shouldn’t be difficult to outfit a seat to as there really aren’t many moving parts, but the seat post part of it had to be adapted to the child seat. I’ve taken two trips to the beach already and a few trips around the neighborhood and to the park. Little seems to enjoy it a lot. It feels pretty stable and once the seat was in place, it’s really easy to use. Bike rides with my daughter bring me great joy and gratitude.

Took a while to get onto my beach cruiser bike but it works great. Making a long of great memories. Feels sturdy and safe, just took about 1.5 hours to get on, but that was partly because a screw was being difficult on my bike itself, and that caused a delay. Great seat!

This was a terrible purchase. The plastic of the seat is so cheaply made, I would not feel safe leaving my child in it. It was flimsy, and felt like paper. Though I suppose that makes it light weight for riding ease, I was not comfortable with it.Needless to say, I still attempted and took it to a Bike Shop for installation. Even the bike mechanics thought this was a terrible product (and NO they did NOT try to sell me a different one - they just told me to get rid of this one altogether).Let me start by saying what the biggest problem is. The seat has no extending hardware, which means it only reaches as far as the small connector piece can reach. The picture sort of shows this, but not nearly to the extent it actually sits. This child seat was right up against the back of my seat. I ride a beach cruiser, and after lots of online research, found this to be a beach cruiser compatible child seat. WRONG!This chair was up against my chair, and the child handlebar was actually sitting ON my bike seat. If I tried to sit down, I sat on the child handlebar. That isn't even the worst of it. My child, who is 2 years old and 25 lbs, could not even comfortably get into the chair. We had to take some serious time to get him into it, because my bike seat was completely in his way. When he was finally sitting in it, his little legs were almost doing splits to fit around my adult seat. AND they did not even get around the seat entirely. So had I got on my bike, I would have been sitting on the handlebar AND my son's legs. And he is a little guy.I realize most of these chairs are close to the adult seat, but this was ridiculous. Also, many other chair types come with an extending piece of hardware that place the chair further back. Though I am not nearly the size of this woman in the photo, this is what I envisioned for my poor child if I actually used this product: [...] (see the link or google "fat lady child carrier"). And take a close look, that seat in the photo IS the Bell Classic Child Carrier. I wish I had seen this photo before I bought it.Then there is another safety issue. The wheel guard is terrible. It is a flimsy, cheap piece of plastic, which looks much like a piece of paper, and it basically attaches with twist ties over the tire. This is to keep the child's feet from getting stuck in the wheel, so it is very important to be safe and sturdy, which this IS NOT.I am so disappointed in this seat and have already issued a request to return it.

I ordered 2 of these. The heel protection for the baby is nice except like others have said, the baby seat is mounted way too close to the bike seat. Also it’s weird it doesn’t mount to the mounting points on the bike frame. Instead it clamps around the frame and scratches it. Just seems to make it unnecessarily complicated and actually use more parts than if you could just mount it directly. Also the parts are cheap and 1 screw came defective, and they both ended up stripping so easily I had to get my own screws. Instructions are hard to follow. I ended up finding a you tube video for assembly.

Takes time to put together and install, but once its on you will have a very happy baby. Great price compared to other options.

It's a little smaller then I expected. But overall sturdy and comfortable. Easy to assemble. Light weight
