Anyone know where I can find a good aerodynamic lightweight baby seat, the current one that I bought from evens is a Topeak Babysitter Child Seat.
It is very heavy plastic and it is a drag up and down hills. Does any come with windshields because the baby keeps on taking of his shades. Considering there is no shortage of over priced bike parts I am surprised I cannot find a good one.

Sorry, not very helpful.
Re: Need an aerodynamic lightweight baby seat
The only seat I've seen in recent times that has a windscreen (optional) is the Yepp Mini that mounts on the front of the bike. Link to windscreen. I've no idea on weight, but it isn't a cheap option at nearly £150! But you do get a choice of colours.

Re: Need an aerodynamic lightweight baby seat
I'm quite surprised there doesn't appear to be any child helmets with visors on, which may have been a solution.
I've got a Hamax Siesta, not noticed the seat being particularly heavy but I'm carrying so much extra weight already. The bracket is quite a heavy lump though.

I fail to find a decent one. Reminds me of the time I wanted a heated cushion that have a timer then turns after time so it doesn't rain the batteries.
