Get outside and stay active as a family with the Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini front mounted child bike seat. Safe and easy to use, this baby bicycle seat allows you to ride as a family on daily commutes or longer biking adventures. Designed with an adjustable 5-point safety harness, a magnetic childproof buckle and a soft, shock absorbing seat, your little co-pilot is will stay safe, secure and comfortable on any bike ride. Thule toddler bike seats are built with water-repellent material making them easy to clean. Adjustable footrests and straps grow with your child, making it the ideal bike carrier for kids from 9 months - 3 years old (up to 33 lbs.)

Wirecutter

Ultra-lightweight and easy to mount to the front of your bike, the Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini won over our youngest testers with its secure, cozy seat and looped handlebar.

BabyGearLab

If you are looking for a rear placement kids' bike seat, the Thule Yepp Mini is a top contender. This somewhat flexible option is brightly colored, has adjustable stirrups, and a quick attachment that locks to the bike to avoid potential theft. The seat is smaller than the Maxi and has a lower passenger weight range. 
Given the front placement and lower weight range, this seat has a shorter lifespan than the other Thule we tested, which could impact your decision to select it over the rear seater. This seat is also somewhat more expensive, and families on tighter budgets may want to look elsewhere. However, we think this is a top-quality option for parents who prefer the front placement on a bike and could be the right choice if you plan to transition your little one to a bike of their own when they outgrow the weight limit.

 The entire inner part of the lock started sliding out (where you can see the pins inside) so I just shoved it back in and I guess I won’t be taking the seat off anymore. I also find it impractical to need a key for a product like this in the first place. It’s cumbersome to keep track of a key when they should have just made it a built in latch instead. Pretty inconvenient

A great, but not perfect, bike seat

 It is super light and my son loves it. The magnetic harness is just another plus. I love it and so does my one year old.

best seat out there!

 Number two: The Thule Yep Next Mini amounts and unmounting seconds. Once you have the mounting bracket of the Mini mounted on your bike mounting and unmounting the seat between sanely easy and literally takes two seconds, this makes last-minute decisions to go for a ride super easy. Whether I had just a few minutes to get on our helmets and load us up to go to the bus stop, or wanted to squeeze in a fitness ride before nap time using the Thule. Yep, Next Mini is a breeze

Number three: The Thule Yep Next Mini is compact and lightweight. The narrow profile and rounded edges of the egg-shaped seat make this tule seed as non-obtrusive as a front-mounted child bike seat can be

 The Thule Up Next Mini also features a five-point harness system with non-slip shoulder straps. Some child bike seats only pop three-point cornices and no shoulder pads, so the added straps at the waist level are just an additional safety measure to put your mind at ease.

Thule Yepp Nexxt Mini Video Review

This seat is great! Expensive? A little, yes, but it is amazing, it is light very, strong and the quick release makes it super convenient! You can go from take a ride with your toddler to down hill/ cross country in couple seconds. The limited steering angle is true but honestly you don’t need that much when riding with a kid on the bike. Super recommend!

We’ll start by saying that we didn’t anticipate our top gravel bike pick being an aluminum-frame rig, but the Cannondale Topstone 1’s versatility, smart build, and competitive price tag won us over. In terms of design, the Topstone features the kind of premium aluminum frame that the brand is known for, a gravel-specific Shimano GRX drivetrain complete with hydraulic disc brakes, and appropriately wide wheels for soaking up bumps. Its balanced geometry also hits a nice sweet spot of responsiveness for climbs and road riding with a relaxed and confidence-inspiring feel on the descents. The cherry on top: the mid-range “1” manages to undercut much of the competition in price at a reasonable $2,150. From weekend gravel rides to daily commutes, the Cannondale Topstone is an excellent option.

The aluminum frame doesn't come without compromises, however. At about 22.5 pounds, the Topstone certainly isn't the lightest gravel bike on the market and likely won't be the first choice of speed-focused riders (if this sounds like you, the extra $450 for the carbon Giant Revolt Advanced 2 below might be worth it). And we’d like to see higher-quality rubber that’s tubeless-ready (they recently switched the tires to Vittoria from WTB’s Riddler, which leads us to believe it was a supply issue). However, these are relatively small nitpicks about an otherwise impressive all-around gravel bike. It’s worth noting that Cannondale also offers the Topstone Carbon with a lighter frame and their minimalist Kingpin rear suspension that helps cushion harsh impacts.See the Cannondale Topstone 1

I just got a Cannondale Topstone 1 (alloy frame) in October for just this reason. I can definitely recommend it - it feels like a road bike but the geometry is definitely more relaxed has better handling in snow and weather.

Hi all,

Looking to get a new bike for my wife. She recently got a job closer to home and has been commuting to work, but it's been on her way-too-aggressive older carbon/rim brake road bike that she hates anyway.

I'm looking to get her a new commuter that is more comfortable, that then can also be used for other riding. She rides so infrequently because the bike she has is uncomfortably aggressive. 

Ideal bike is something that fenders and rear panniers can go on with drop bars and a relaxed geometry. My guess is this puts us in the gravel category exclusively. We also have aspirations to do some light credit card touring together. She is only 5'0", so small sizes are a plus.

Cannondale's Topstone is an attractive choice but may be a stretch for sizing. All-City's Space Horse looks great as well, but it seems like they make so few of the two very small sizes and I'm not sure how easy it would be to actually find one.

Our local shop deals Cannondale, Specialized, and Kona, with another well-respected shop nearby dealing Trek - but we're in Western Massachusetts and can find most brands within an hour drive. Would definitely want to test ride something before buying.

Drop Bar Commuter

 or you can get a two by ten or a one by ten or a two by eleven uh, 105 group set. Some of the companies that are doing the 105s are switching straight over to the Grx. Uh, because it's gravel specific. So no point in putting a road bike specific group set on a bike that people are going to be using off-road So that's driving the price point up here

 Rather than some of these other bikes where they come in 52s, 54s, 56s, 58s, it can be a little bit harder to determine what the right size is for you. Now you can always go onto 99spokes.com and type in the bikes of interest that you're looking to buy and compare their geometry, their standover height, their head tube angles, their bottom bracket heights, and compare the geometries to figure out if they're similar or vastly different from bikes that you currently own. So you can help better understand if this geometry in this frame, shape and size is right for you

Cannondale Topstone 1 Gravel Bike Review (Likes/Dislikes)

 If you’re in the market for more of a race-oriented model, we really like Giant’s Revolt Advanced 2. With the Giant, you get a lightweight carbon fiber frame, the same high-performing Shimano 105 drivetrain as the Topstone, and generous tire clearance for large rubber. Further, the Revolt Advanced 2 features a rubber chain stay and down tube protectors to ward off rocks and debris. The $2,450 Giant is certainly harder on the wallet than the $1,750 Cannondale, but it’s difficult to argue with the bike’s carbon frame and race-oriented build

 And again, it was well-equipped for the job. While not particularly quick, the bike was easy to maneuver in traffic and along city streets, and its riding position was quite comfortable. Further, the fender mounts are a great match for wet-weather commutes, and the bike’s rack compatibility works well for those who use traditional panniers. To be clear, the Topstone 105 lacks the explosiveness and nimble feel of a dedicated road bike, but the balanced riding position and smart frame features add to its versatility

 Both are solid values, but the Topstone strikes us as the better buy. Editor’s note: We usually provide a live price comparison table below our outdoor gear reviews, but at the time of publishing the Topstone 105 is only available nationwide at REI Co-op. You can see the Cannondale Topstone 105 page here and support us in the process. Thanks!
