Does it require a step-through frame or something? I'm having trouble seeing how to kick my leg high enough to clear a child without kneeing them in the head.

I never had issues with just a slight tip of the frame and get my leg up and over the top tube with no problems. I mount from the left, I grab the bars with my left just to the left of the stem and the nose of the saddle and tip it towards me and hoist my leg over.

Practice
