Bell Cocoon 300 Child Bicycle Carrier

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!

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.

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.

Great for Price point, granddaughter loves it!

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 absolutely love using the Bell COCOON 300 Child Bicycle Carrier during my lunch break! Here's why it has become my go-to activity: - **Convenient Design:** The COCOON 300's design makes it effortless to set up and use, allowing me to maximize my lunch break for quality time with my child. - **Comfortable and Secure:** My child enjoys a comfortable ride in the carrier, and I appreciate the secure harness that keeps them safe throughout our bike rides. - **Quality Build:** The carrier's sturdy construction gives me confidence in its durability and safety, providing peace of mind during our outdoor adventures. - **Easy Installation:** I love how easy it is to install and remove the carrier, making it hassle-free to switch between solo and family bike rides. - **Memorable Bonding:** Using the COCOON 300 has allowed me to create memorable moments with my child during my lunch break, adding joy and excitement to our day. Overall, the Bell COCOON 300 Child Bicycle Carrier has enhanced my lunch break routine, turning it into a delightful and bonding experience with my child. I highly recommend it to other parents looking to make the most of their time while creating lasting memories with their little ones!

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.

We tried a few different models before and nothing would work! This one is strong, comfortable, well fixed on the bike, my baby feel really safe in it! Best option in the market for sure!

Algo importante a comentar es que no es para todas las bicicletas, checar bien la descripción de la rodada de la llanta. No queda para las bicis que tienen los tubos curvos. Es seguro y fácil de instalar.

Depending on the model of your bike, this might be one of the few baby chairs that fit. That's my case. I was so happy when I finally found this chair! My one-year-old is very comfortable in it. The straps can be regulated.

Muy buen producto, muy facil de instalar siguiendo las instrucciones al pie de la letra, un poco justo al asiento, sin embargo mi bicicleta es de 29” pero muy recomendable

It worked perfectly with my bike. I had a hard time trying to find a compatible model. This one was the only one that worked for me.
