​Learn how this father took his daughter on her very first bike ride

​Meet Toby – avid bicyclist and outdoorsmen, loving father of three children, one of whom has Down Syndrome. He’d love to take her out to enjoy a bike ride like he does with the rest of the kids, especially on their family camping trips, but she’s just not able to ride a bicycle on her own. And she’s outgrown any of the baby carrier seats that everyone’s familiar with. Out of luck, right?

Wrong. Toby found Companion Bike Seat, the passenger seat for bicycles, and he was able to take his daughter out with him for her very first bike ride.

​Been looking for a solution for the family to ride bike together. I have a 9 year old daughter with Down Syndrome and she struggles to get the concept of balancing but she's too young still for a big trike. Enter, Companion Bike Seats and the very helpful Paul O'Leary. After a few instructions on what to purchase, he came out and did an install and viola ... we are riding!

Finally, we can take our bikes camping and my daughter, who cannot ride a bike yet, rides with us! It's liberating! Thanks to Paul and Companion Bike Seat. Great service! Works really well on my 2014 Schwinn Voyageur 24 speed comfort bike. Now my bike seats two!

​Companion Bike Seats can support passengers up to 200 lbs. so they’re great for kids and adults alike. Adding the new backrest to the bike seat makes for an extra comfortable ride.

​Companion Bike Seats also feature a locking storage compartment underneath the seat to store all your belongings while you’re out riding.

There are all sorts of people out there, children and adults, that would probably love the experience of riding along on a bicycle, but just aren’t able to ride on their own.

​Companion Bike Seat is a great way to share this experience with everyone, no matter whether they’re able to ride a bicycle or not.  No one should be depraved the joy of riding with the wind in your face and the road slipping away behind you.
