Thule Yepp Junior Budget solves a different problem from most in this list. It is a rear junior seat for children who have outgrown enclosed toddler seats but are not yet ready for every ride on their own bike. Thule positions it for roughly 6-10 years, up to 35 kg, and the setup includes foot protection rather than a full shell and harness.
That stage boundary matters. A junior seat asks the child to sit upright, stay awake, and hold position; it is not the safer answer for a younger child who still needs side support or restraint. The bike also needs an Easyfit/rack-compatible rear setup with enough load rating and foot protection. Shortlist it for school runs with a bigger child; skip it for toddlers or uncertain racks.
