Bell Cocoon 300 Child Bicycle Carrier

I was worried it would feel wobbly and unstable while riding but it’s solid and there was no learning curve as far as riding goes. Love it…BUT the instructions are absolute garbage. The pictures are tiny, blurry, and black and white (which made the tiny-ness of them even more difficult to discern). I consider myself pretty handy and competent, so I was able to figure it out, but I feel like from a safety standpoint there shouldn’t be any questions about whether you did the install correctly or not.

I recently started using the Bell COCOON 300 Child Bicycle Carrier, and it has quickly become a favorite in our family, especially during the fall season.First off, the sturdiness of this carrier is impressive. It feels incredibly well-built, providing peace of mind knowing that my child is secure while we ride. The installation was straightforward, and it fits seamlessly on my bike. The adjustable straps and harness ensure a snug and safe fit for my little one, which is always a top priority.What really stands out is how much my kids love it! They enjoy the view and the feeling of being part of the adventure as we cruise through the colorful fall foliage. The padded seat adds extra comfort for longer rides, and the added safety features make every outing enjoyable for both of us.Overall, it’s a sturdy, reliable, and fun way to include my child in our biking adventure, and I highly recommend this carrier for any family looking to enjoy the outdoors together.

The chair is a good quality product for its price. However it does not fit any bike as it says and it is really hard to install. I made sure to buy a bike as the ones in the image and the description detailed but it did not work. We spent hour installing it (and we are good at installing and putting things together) and we even had to adapt some of the pieces to make it work.If you don’t want to spend a lot of money it is a good option and you’ll have to install it just once. If you want easy installation look for a different one

This seat is poorly designed. For starters, the seat mounts so close to the bike saddle that your heels hit the seat while pedaling.Even after adjusting the saddle as far forward as it can go (which messes up my bike's fit) my heels still strikes the leg cradles of the baby seat.Second, the mounting hardware is awful. It comes with these non-standard bolts with special washers that are supposed to fit most seat clamps but don't. I ended up scratching my really nice alloy seat clamp because, like most, it is tapered around the allen bolt and the provided bolt just dug into the alloy (did not lay flat).Third, I can't believe that this seat had no way of attaching it to the frame bosses that 95% of bikes have these days.Those are the mounting points and bolts used to attach things like carrying racks, saddle bags and, yes, baby carriers.Instead, it has these clamps that attach to the rear stays that are great if you want scratches or want to damage by crushing stays.Unfortunately, this was a gift for a friend who did not tell me about her troubles and my return window expired otherwise I would have demanded a refund.I would look for a better seat. If I find an alternative, I will update the review.
