Rad Modifications / Child Seat Woes
March 24, 2021, 06:38:49 AM
So i'm super excited to be getting my new Radwagon 4 this week and i've started the hunt for a child seat for my 3 year old. I'm honestly blown away by the limited information on this... especially from Rad themselves, do they have some marketing agreement with Thule?

In years past i could just pop my son on a simple Bell Cocoon and do a little light riding down a rail-trail or around the neighborhood. Now it seems I can only get a $250 seat to use for maybe a total of 8-12 months before he starts to outgrow it?

Anyone have any experience finding alternatives or modifying other brands to fit? I know i'm going to try the Bell seat i have and see what it would take to make it work with my new wagon.

I found a used Yepp Nexxt Maxi (whats up with their naming scheme?) but can't get any good information if it'll fit the Radwagon 4 specifically.

I Know this has come up before but those threads where archived and dead.... here's hoping someone is feeling the same way now.

I'm psyched to be getting my Radwagon 4 tomorrow! I live in a Central Massachusetts city so it's not a biking mecca but it should still be awesome. I plan on spending some time getting comfortable with the bike before bringing my son along but that was my main reason for getting this bike over something like the commuter or runner.

What i'm surprised by is how few mentions of other back seats i see mentioned online. I get that the Yepp is basically built to fit with the rad (or the other way around i suppose) but have there been any handy people around who've made things like the Bell Cocoon work with the wagon? I've got one i bought last fall that's still in the box and i can't see why clamping it to the post and maybe latching it down with some additional hardware to the rear mount wouldn't work.. any thoughts on this?

I supposed i'll see first hand this weekend when i get some time to experiment. If it's a no-go then i'll obviously get the Yepp but MAN those are trending pricey even used.
