The Fr8, not the Gr8 is our most sold family transport bicycle. We sell complete family bike packages, you can get the bike together with the age specific child seats that you need. As your kids grow or your needs change you can always rebuild your Fr8 or alter the seating arrangements as necessary. The Kr8 bakfiets is also extremely beneficial for families with very young children. For those of you who already own a Gr8 and only need to carry one child, here is our Gr8 child seat guide:
Front Seats
Thule Yepp Mini: for a child of 9 months to around 3 years, seat is available in black
Yepp Mini: for a child of 9 months to 3 years, seat is available in various colors
Urban Iki Mini: for a child of 9 months to around 3 years, seat is available in black
Mini seat with crate on the front carrier
Mini seats like the Yepp are mounted to the bicycle’s handlebar stem. This means the seat (and footrests) turn with the handlebars when you steer the bicycle. Because our frame mounted front carrier and crate do not turn when steering, we need to allow some room for the mini seat footrests to do so. The MT crate child has a section of the rear panel removed so the footrests can turn freely. This is only necessary with a stem mounted mini seat not with the Fr8 child saddle. The additional MT Crate mat functions as an anti-noise mat, locks and groceries don't rattle around anymore.
Rear Seats
Qibbel Rear Seat: for a child of 9 months to 6 years, 3 point harness belt, seat is available in dark grey with black cushion.
Qibbel Air: (lighter version of the Qibbel rear seat) for a child of 9 months to 6 years, 3 point harness belt, seat is available in black.
Qibbel Jr: for a child of 4+ years, seat is available in dark grey, we sell the Qibbel Jr complete with a seat belt and WorkCycles’ own strong frame mounted foot pegs
Fr8 Single Seat: 5+ years, complete with backrest, Ventisit cushion and strong frame mounted foot pegs. No seatbelt - as from this age it’s not necessary, the strong foot pegs help with the kid’s sitting safely on the bike.
Foot Guards
Foot guards are necessary for the Qibbel Jr and Fr8 Single Seat. The Qibbel Rear Seat and Qibbel Air come with built-in foot guards.
