Description

There are two main types of bike seats available: rear and front bike seats. With both a rear bike seat and a front seat, some parents can travel with two children at once. Here you can see two different options, with the angle on the left being the setting we chose as it lowers the knees. This position is less likely to create interference with the handlebars, and also keeps her feet farther away from the front wheel.

The height at which the adult rider’s seat post is positioned also plays a role in the comfort level of the riders. In most cases, the higher the adult seat is set on the bike, the more room the adult rider will have. Traditional front-mounted child bike seats are best for babies and young toddlers. With smaller seats and harnesses than rear seats, they’re designed to keep the littlest of passengers comfy and secure. Children typically fit in these seats from ages 12 months to 2.5 or 3 years. The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount. Long story short, we're yet to find a mountain bike the shotgun seat won't fit – with the only exceptions being listed below: The shotgun seat will not fit: There are many different factors to consider when purchasing a front child bike seat without a harness, and the best seat for you depends on a handful of factors. Having tested out these seats with our crew of mini testers on various bikes, here’s our breakdown of what you need to look for when determining the best open-style (no harness) front-mounted seat for your child and your bike.The MTB child seat should be as light as possible as you will have to move that extra 15 kg + of seat and baby up each hill! Don’t forget to put extra pressure in your suspension or dial in more low-speed-compression to compensate or your bike will handle poorly. Keep them warm – you are pedalling, they are not. Don’t disregard wind chill and plan your rides and their clothing accordingly, especially gloves. Headset (Total Spacer Height): In our testing, we discovered that the total number and the total height of the spacers under your stem will also impact fit. Once the Shotgun Pro spacer is installed, there must be clearance between the Shotgun Pro’s front clamp and your stem when the handlebars rotate. With a weight limit of 60 pounds, the Shotgun Pro has plenty of room for kids to grow. By the time your kid is 60 pounds, they’ll definitely be too tall for you to want them on your bike anymore! (For reference, the Mac Ride’s weight limit is also 60 pounds, while the Original Shotgun seat’s weight limit is 48 pounds.) The size and age of the child rider will greatly affect everyone’s riding experience on a mountain biking child bike seat. Unlike standard front and rear-mounted child bike seats, with these styles of seats, the child is not strapped in.

Although the Mac Ride does attach to the seat post of the bike, it’s compatible with dropper posts. The clamp just needs to be attached below the moving portion of the seat post.Before selecting a seat, it’s essential that you determine what type of riding you plan on doing most of the time. Also keep in mind that seats designed specifically for mountain biking (Shotgun, Mac Ride) can work great for casual riding, but seats designed for casual use (Tyke Toter and UrRider) are not recommended for mountain biking. She also enjoyed the stylish mini grom bike seat! It is truly is the new and improved seat from Shotgun. It is still padded and plush, but with a new sleek design. In addition, the seat angle was effortless to adjust. This is another adjustment you need to make before hitting your favorite trails.

Other features that Lauren enjoyed out on the trails was the fixed position for the little rider’s feet. On other seats she has had issues with the foot rests spinning or moving. The length of the inside leg of the shotgun seat is 210mm, and the outside leg of the shotgun seat is 258mm in length. Today we’re taking a closer look at the all-new Shotgun Pro MTB Child Seat from biker-owned brand ‘Kids Ride Shotgun’ who are a small team of mountain bike parents from the North Island of New Zealand who came together with a global vision to raise the next generation of mountain bikers.We have personally tested out all three seats and can say they all perform great on the trails, but each seat has its own unique benefits. If you’re looking for the cream-of-the-crop front child bike seat, the Thule RideAlong Mini is it. High-quality and durable like other Thule seats, comfort and best-fit is where the RideAlong Mini really shines. To the uninitiated, it can be quite alarming when first looking at the Mac Ride and Shotgun kids seats. Where are the straps and seat belts? It’s true, aside from the footstraps there are no straps to hold your kid in. But have no fear, just like when they ride their own bikes, once on, straddling the top tube and in the footstraps, your kid feels really secure. After a couple of minutes of car park testing, our team felt 100% confident on mellow trails, with toddlers from 2 years old. As soon as your kid jumps on it all makes sense and feels very safe. Will a front-mounted MTB kids seat fit my bike? In the end, however, using the mini handlebars comes down to personal preference as most kids have no problem holding onto your handlebars next to the stem.
