That's what we use.  It's great having my daughter right up front
(although recently she's into whacking her head into my chest and
giggling maniacally) and I can pedal normally without my knees hitting
the seat.  Standing is more of a challenge but doable with a bit of
cooperation from my daughter.

I originally intended to use the seat with drop bars but I couldn't
get the seat far enough forward without it hitting the bars and the
stem's quill.  Now, I have albatross-ish bars mounted on a DirtDrop
stem.  The rise of the DirtDrop allows the seat to move further
forward without hitting the quill.

I use the same bike for club rides and brevets but switch the bars
back to drops.

A drawback of the iBert is that there's no windscreen available for
it.  A windscreen would have been nice in the winter and I'll probably
rig something up for next winter.
