I saw a child seat on a Brompton

[Yellow Fang]

I saw a child seat on a Brompton. It was positioned on the handlebars. Anyone know anything about it?

There's a guy gets off the train at my local station with one. His one is a sort of thing that attaches to the seatpost and the headset forming a kind of crossbar that the child sits on I think. I've not examined it closely.

Ismit a child seat, or was it an adaption for a very Diddy rider?

There are a few different child seats for Bromptons. For example there is the Pere seat adapter and this one.

My kid was 40" tall and 40+ lbs at 2 years old. How do people get away with such contraptions as these?

I was wondering that. The weight limit is only 110kg, doesnt leave much for rider, offspring, and underwear.

I took a better look at the one I see regularly. I think it's one of these. Or else something very similar

How does the fold work with that attached? Also shows seat post is down.

Dunno, I didn't spy on him assembling it. I suspect he takes it off to fold and attaches it once unfolded

Diagram shows it still attached, but could not see how that would work.

There's a review here. I've not watched it all, I'm not that interested. However he does seem to take it off completely for the fold. Maybe he gets into more detail later. I got bored with it after a few minutes.

This might help extplain- it just rests securely on the mainframe bar, rather than being rigidly attached so it just lifts out of the
way when you fold it and sits slightly to the left of the folded package.

Does the OP @Yellow Fang have a suitable aged child or are they just curious?
