  Review: Joie i-Level (productReview)
  What is it? Joie produces a range of Group 0+ baby seats, but the i-Level is the most flexible and most expensive of the trio.  It's i-size compliant, which requires more side-impact protection and for the child to be seated facing backwards until they are at least 15 months old.

  Review: Stoplock Pro review (productReview)
  It’s a weighty device and sizeable too, so you’re unlikely to be able to stash it either side of the driver’s seat and of course it should be well away from the driver’s footwell too. If you’re regularly in your car alone or with one other person it may not be an issue to reach behind your seat and leave it there, but if you frequently have passengers you may be forced to put it in the boot.

  Review: Lazerbuilt Chewbacca’s Bandolier Seat Belt Cover (productReview)
  For the Star Wars fan, this could be the seatbelt cover that they’re looking for. The Chewbacca Bandolier Seat Belt Cover makes an inexpensive gift and is so simple to use that it could be fitted to a seatbelt by just about anyone.

  Review: Travall dog guard (productReview)
  Travall is so confident with the guard that they offer a lifetime guarantee against any manufacturing defects, so if anything does go wrong you're covered. One issue is that the guard doesn't cover the entirety of the back seats. My dog is very needy, so when he realised he wouldn't be able to jump over the seats and distract me as usual, he wasn't a happy chappy. After trying unsuccessfully to force his face through the mesh, he started to scratch at the unprotected section of the rear seats, which wasn't ideal.

  Review: Guardsman dog guard (productReview)
  This means we can still use our boot like normal when the dog isn't in there (obviously), as well as not needing to keep our parcel shelf on the back row of seats. One issue is that the guard doesn't cover the entirety of the back seats, but this is quite common with dog guards. If your dog doesn't like being kept in the boot, they may try to scratch at the exposed back of the rear seats though.

  Review: RAC Advanced Mesh Dog Guard (productReview)
  The RAC Dog Guard is a barrier that attaches to the back of the headrests of the rear seats. It's designed to be a universal fit and will prevent your dog from jumping over the back seats and into the cabin of the car, which risk damaging upholstery with mud and claw scratches, but can also be very dangerous and can potentially cause an accident.

  Review: Nuna Leaf Grow (productReview)
  The Nuna Leaf Grow is a stylish baby rocker that is suitable from birth up to 60kg - which is about 9 stone in old money. It has a seat pad with a three point harness that can be removed to turn it into a toddler seat. There are no batteries or automated settings, instead the Leaf Grow works with an ultra smooth side to side motion - a gentle push with your hand and it should sway for about two minutes.

  Review: Piaggio Medley 125 2016 (productReview)
  It also has stop/start to improve fuel economy when riding in town, which contributes to Piaggio’s believable promise of 135mpg Under the seat there is easily enough room for two full-face helmets or a few bags of shopping. The seat opens via a push button when the ignition is on, so there is no risk of locking your keys in when you’re fiddling around retrieving a helmet and gloves.

  Review: Norco Fluid 2 HT (2019) (productReview)
  While hardtails are firmer than full-suspension bikes, the Fluid 2’s chunky tyres offer a fairly smooth ride even on bumpier trails. The seat is comfortable enough, too, but if you cover lots of miles it might be something you’d look to upgrade sooner than later. The Fluid 2 has a few cool tricks up its sleeve, too, including its TranzX dropper seat post.

  Review: Ducati Scrambler 2016 (productReview)
  Depending which version you go for, pillion provision is either okay or poor. Most examples of the Scrambler come with a fairly wide pillion seat and a long rear mudguard, but others have short seats better suited to solo riders. Adjusting the suspension to suit a pillion requires a bit of effort too, but no more so than any other bike this side of a big touring machine or a Suzuki Burgman.

  Review: Honda Forza 300 (productReview)
  Shorter riders can perch towards the front of the seat, while taller riders have enough space to accommodate lankier occupants. The only time this might become an issue is in bad weather when the longer framed rider might have to crouch a little to feel the benefit of the front screen.
• 
  Review: Kymco X-Town (productReview)
  This Kymco also gives good protection to the rider thanks to a screen that’s just the right height and seat just low enough to deflect the blast over your head. The rider benefits from a sculpted seat base that means even those with a shorter inside leg measurement can get a foot down for stability.

  Review: Honda Super Cub (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.3333333333333" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/b85a1f844228458db08f14e59c37c9cf" /> Mention of the seat prompts us to point out the Super Cub has no provision for a pillion. There’s not even a double seat on an options list, so this is strictly for the rider to enjoy. The space behind the comfy chair can be used to fit a luggage rack, which is a handy addition we’d want.

  Review: Suzuki GSX-S125 (productReview)
  While the S125 hasn't got a fairing, it has got nice high handle bars (100mm higher than the R125) and the lowest seat in the entire 125 street sport class. As well as the lowest seat, the liquid-cooled, four-valve, double-overhead-camshaft (DOHC) engine also gives the S125 a class-leading power-to-weight ratio - which improves acceleration and max speed.
• Review: Honda NSC 50 E Vision (productReview)
  Another reason the Vision is handy in gnarly traffic, and also why it’s such a big seller, is the low seat height of 785-millimetres. That’s not the most short legged-friendly seat you can find, but the way the Honda’s cushion is shaped makes it very easy to place both feet on the ground and that, again, is perfect for learners and the newly qualified to give confidence.

  Review: Suzuki Burgman 650 Executive 2016 (productReview)
  There is also a 12V outlet for charging phones or sat navs, or for powering heated clothing if you're going to ride year around. The seat lifts on hydraulic rams and there’s space underneath for a couple of helmets, plus there’s even a courtesy light. The only minor niggle is that the seat doesn’t lift particularly high, which restricts access to the storage area.

  Review: Sakura headrest dog guard (productReview)
  But does the Sakura lack the build quality needed to prevent a dog climbing over the rear seats? What's it like? The Sakura dog guard is fairly light and far slimmer than previous dog guards we've tested. It comes unassembled in three sections; the long main dog guard and two 'wings' that clip onto the guard to extend the length in wider cars.

  Review: CF Moto 650 GT (productReview)
  The controls are easy to reach and mirror the excellent riding position of the 650 GT. It has a natural seating position and well-padded seat that means you can spend long hours on the go without fidgeting. Just as well as the 19-litre fuel tank and excellent economy mean 200 miles from a fill are perfectly possible.

  Review: MASH Black Seven 125 (productReview)
  For shorter riders (like myself; 5'7"), the bike is also reassuringly small with a seat height of 780mm. Filtering shouldn't cause too much anxiety with a bike this narrow (720mm wide) either. Unfortunately, when it comes to taking the MASH out of urban areas, its flaws start to show themselves more.

  Review: Zontes T310 (productReview)
  Or the sturdy crash bars, diamond-cut aluminium wheels, 37mm upside-down forks, electrically adjustable screen and comfy-looking seat. Let’s start with that seat. It has a height of 840mm, which makes it higher than many commuter bikes but lower than a lot of adventure offerings. This test rider is 5ft 10in tall and could swing a shorty leg over the saddle with ease and get both feet on the ground.
