I currently own two (front/rear) Thule/Yepp child seats but only actively using the front at the moment on my 65cm Clem H.
The front is the Thule Yepp Nexxt model. Which appears to differ slightly from the Yepp (non-Nexxt) models but they effectively work the same as far as I’m aware. What sold me on the Nexxt version was a sale price that made the more costly Nexxt the same price as the non-Nexxt and a lighter listed weight (of the seat itself) for the Nexxt version. I almost bought the non-Nexxt version at a LBS until I called them to confirm availability before taking the ride over ( I knew they stocked it but wanted to ensure they actually had stock on hand with limited free time that week) and when speaking to the shop they noted a different (baby) weight limit than I remembered and noted the model they carried went up to 27lbs. I had thought both Yepp front models went up to 33lbs. So I held off and looked them up and found the Nexxt does state up to 33lbs for child while also listing a seat weight of nearly half the weight of the non-Nexxt Yepp model. (3.something lbs vs 7-ish lbs of the latter.) When I later found I could get the lighter seat with higher weight capacity for same price I went for it. Notes on fit... you’ll want a long top tube. Swept back or semi swept bars with a more upright ish posture would be best. The front seats take up a lot of space between saddle and bars. I’m on the low end of the pbh sizing for the monster 65cm Clems and have the seat mount and stem slammed as much as the combo allows with riser Jones bars and think the combo works great. My son also loves being front and center and interacting with him during the ride is lots or fun. I was fortunate to also be gifted a hand me down rear seat; Thule Ride along, which mounts directly to the Seattube and requires no rear rack. This did not fit my Clem due the width/spacing of seat stays and the way the seat mounts and is suspended from the seat tube. It does appear to be a very versatile seat, however, as long as the seat stays are not too wide up near the seat tube/top tube junction and you have a sufficient amount to seat tube space to clamp the mount. This has since been installed on my wife’s Velo Orange Camargue but she has not yet ridden with our son on it.
