The bottom line is: stick to Word 2003/XP if you are not forced to upgrade.

To anyone who has used previous versions of Word, Word 2007 is exercise in frustration. How come when I delete a line it changes the format of the text below it or reformats my paragraphs or I'm really not sure

This is a great little addition to my desk at the office. It has a nice little blue light inside and the fish look like they are swimming. It comes with an AC adapter.

At present, I have a USB mouse and USB lamp connected to this USB hub. They work fine.

So glad I spent the money for this adult battery charger.

Revitalized our half-dead AA and AAA rechargeables and is extremely easy to use.

Definitely go for this kit, which includes the charger, a nice case, 4 AA and AAA rechargeables and 4 pretty nifty adapters that allow

Product Description:

The WeeRide Kangaroo child seat offers an innovative riding position so the child is visible at all times and can be heard and attended to more easily. The child is provided with a more interesting view, and the weight distribution actually works to enhance the bicycle's stability. All in all, it offers enhanced safety and a more comfortable, enjoyable ride for the child.
The WeeRide Kangaroo center-mounted bike seat offers an award-winning design that makes biking with your child much safer and much more fun. It's installed onto virtually any bicycle via a patent pending, independent steel support bar that attaches between the front handle bar tube and the seat post. It provides a much more enjoyable and interactive experience for the child and rider. Your child's needs can be heard, seen and attended to more easily, and he or she has a more interesting view--no more staring at someone's back. Other advantages include no dangling arms or legs to reach wheels and the rear of the bike is free to carry your gear.

The seat is made from an injection-molded plastic form, and it features a comfortable padded foam seat, height adjustable foot cups, and a fully adjustable three-point security harness. The Padded pedestal armrest sitting atop the handlebars gives children somewhere comfortable to put their hands, and can serve as a headrest for the napping toddler.

The steel support bar is an independent support system that does not interfere with brake cables or other attached bicycle gear. It includes different sizes of plastic spacers for the front yoke attachment and rear seat post to protect the posts and ensure it fits on almost any recreational bicycle available. It's easily removable for when you want to ride on your own.

It can be used with mountain/city bikes with upright handlebars (with drop-handled racing handlebars, the rider leans forward too much for the child to sit comfortably). Children should be at least 1 year old, and it has a maximum weight capacity of 40 pounds. This bike seat is designed for casual riding on smooth, flat, paved and dry surfaces free of sand, gravel or dirt.

great so far...
7/15/2008
This seat works great for me. I do not experience any of the difficulty in pedaling that others have noted, and I am even able to stand most of the way up to pedal up hills (I am 5'-10" tall and I have the seat mounted on a Giant Rincon mountain bike). My one (minor) complaint is that I wish the back of the seat came up a little higher - my son is always trying to lean his head back into my chest as we are riding - perhaps a removeable head rest or something.

Disappointed
7/14/2008
I thought this would be a perfect alternative to the caboose type carrier, but I was very disappointed. The straps are way too long for my child (and probably for most kids--my daughter is 22 lbs and 30 in. tall). The seat is almost exactly straight up so she was leaning forward making it uncomfortable. I returned it.

Good Item - Larger Straps now available
7/14/2008
I ordered this item around 5 months ago just as my son was turing 2. I read some of the concerns from others but ordered anyway becuase the item is so unique. Didn't have a problem with the item fitting my mountain bike (giant). Installation from fairly easy, I wouldn't say it's simple, but the directions seemed fine to me. I didn't have any issues with the turning radius of the bike after installation as some have indicated, and I'm only 5'8 so I have a smaller bike to begin with. I have noticed that after 4 months I can no longer strap the bottm straps around my son's legs, and the overall strapping mechanism is fairly clumsy to begin with becuase the straps don't come completely apart and you have to kind of put the kid down through the middle of them while you are trying to hold your bike up. I'm not able to sit on the seat while the bike isn't moving becuase his seat is too close to mine until I'm actually sitting on it. I need of a rolling start and then I just kick my leg over the tap and jump on the seat at the same time. Fine for me, but not for everybody. I just went to the weeride website and called the manufacturer and they apparently now have larger replacement straps that they will send out. Currently it is at no charge. I'm not sure if it also addresses the fact that the current ones don't completely separate because of the fixed chest strap that is permanent, but they are at least larger and should allow you child to use the seat until the age/weight it is actually intended.

Does not fit "virtually any" bike, as claimed.
7/11/2008
I was very disappointed to find that this seat does not fit on either my wife's or my bicycle. Both are fairly standard off-the-bike-store-rack models. The company's misleading advertising states it fits virtually any bike. What it should say is that you must have at least 3/4"-1" of head tube extending above the top tube so that the front mounting clamp will fit without interfering with the headset bearings (steering mechanism.) My trek mountain bike has essentially no such space. My wife's Giant city/trail bike had a little more space due to the sloping "ladies" top tube, but the clamp still did not fit. Had I known this, I would not have wasted the shipping fees, and gotten a seat that fits.

I would not recommnt this!
6/27/2008
May not fit every bike! It didn't fit ours! I didn't feel safe puting our daughter on the seat - it didn't offer much support for her. Plastic is very flexable!!! I returned it immediately!!!
