About this product
Clip your little one into the front seat, adjust the straps, and set off on your next ride knowing they're sharing the view ahead rather than staring at your back. The Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat positions your child where they can see the path unfold, grip the handlebars and experience the thrill of cycling from a safe, supported position. It mounts to the top tube of most bikes with a crossbar, bringing children aged 3 to 6 years along for the journey up to 22kg.
It features a padded ergonomic seat with water-resistant cushioning for comfortable rides in varied conditions. The top tube mounting system suits most crossbar bikes and includes all fixtures for installation. Foot pegs with safety straps keep small feet secure and positioned correctly throughout the ride. The front-facing design lets you chat to your child as you cycle, helping them learn about traffic and road awareness whilst building their confidence for future independent riding.

Customers Say
Front child bike seat offers a great riding experience with kids loving the front view and interaction. It's sturdy and good value but assembly and fitting can be tricky, with some concerns about foot strap size and compatibility with certain bike frames.

Great, but fiddly to assemble
Super cute, my 3 yo loves being able to sit upfront on bike rides with us. It's definitely a two person build however. Not difficult but quite fiddly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Front Child Bike Seat Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Front Child Bike Seat Review I recently purchased a front child bike seat, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The seat is strong and stable, giving me complete confidence while riding. My child finds it very comfortable, and he truly enjoys joining me on rides — it’s become one of our favorite activities together. Beyond the safety and comfort, I find it to be excellent value for money. The quality and experience it provides far outweigh the cost. I would definitely recommend this seat to other parents looking for a reliable and enjoyable way to cycle with their child.

Brilliant seat
Brought this last month so my grandson could be taken on daddies bike while on holiday. Fits great and 21/2 year old is happy, comfortable and safe.

Little one loves it!!

Excellent
My daughter loves it

Works well despite trickiness of setting it up
It was a bit tricky to set up, as other reviews had warned, but it's been working well for a couple of weeks now. My daughter is very happy riding around on my bike and it feels like an easier way to cycle compared to the rear-mounted child seat that we used for a few years with her weight shifted more towards the front of the bike.

Easy to install and looks smart
I bought this while on holiday as my daughter didn’t like the trailer we had. Really easy to fit and doesn’t look out of place. My only issue is the foot straps are one size and can’t be adjusted
Mano, 25 - 34, Beds.
Superb addition for anyone with bike and young kid
Grandsons love it. Screams of delight and the little one jumping in the air shouting "That was AWESOME!" Now I can take the little one with us when the bigger one rides to school. Easy to fit, well-made and reasonably robust (foot straps could be a little longer and the attachments more substantial for sustained use). Very good value for money.

Works well
Simple to put together and seems solid once all tightened up. One of the nuts did not have threads in
Stepar, 35 - 44, Tyne and Wear
My 5 year likes it
The foot strap is too small, apart from that my 5 year old likes it

Hi LGD,
Thanks for your query about the Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat.
Without being able to see the bike or knowing more about its specs we cannot give an exact answer. It is a universal product and should fit most bikes but not all. The seat will come with instructions on how to fit it though.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Rosielea,
The Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat can not be attached to a top tube if there are brake and gear wirings running over the top of it.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Jay,
The supplier has advised the following for the Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat:
This is designed to be universal and the supplier has confirmed that, because of this, they do not keep a record of specific bikes it may be compatible with. They also advise though that, from the info they do have available, it is very likely to fit that bike.
I hope this helps.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hello Helen,
I can confirm that this would not be suitable for a Diamondback ebike.
I hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
Hello Sally,
I can advise the following on the Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat:
This would be going against the manufacturer's specifications and cause the warranty to void for improper use. While in theory you may be able to exceed it, it's not going to break at 22.1Kg, but it would be wise to stay within the limit for health and safety reasons.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Yes but only on short journeys and smooth terrain - I don't think it's good for the bike or the adult! :-)
Hello there,
No, This doesn't come with the tools needed.
Thanks for using Q&A.
Hi Amy,
After checking with the manufacturer I can confirm that the Oxford Little Explorer Top Tube Front Child Bike Seat is not available in the Handrail version.
There are other brand on the market that do have the handrail option.
Thank you for using Q&A
Hi Sabley,
Thanks for your question.
I'm unable to find the bike you mean, but this seat will fit most adult bikes that have a top tube or cross bar. It will not fit bikes that you can step through, which most women's bikes do.
I hope this helps. :)
