  "title": "Kids bike seats: handlebar clearance and room for the child to hold on",
  "question": "Do kids bike seats interfere with the handlebar, and is there room for the child to hold on?",
  "answer": "Thule Yepp 2 Mini: The user warns that the seat is not universal and reports concerns with carbon frames, very short head tubes and cables routed through the stem; checking the specific bicycle with a dealer is advised. On a trekking Cannondale, installation reportedly took about 15 minutes including reading the instructions and required only a hex key. Fit may be harder or impossible on other bicycles. Room for the child to hold the handlebar: none of the checked facts address this. THULE Coaster XT: The trailer attaches using the Thule ezHitch axle mount. Handlebar clearance and the child's grip are not covered by the checked facts for this product either.",
