SHOTGUN Kids Bike Seat for Mountain Bikes | Front Mounted Bicycle Seats for Children 2-5 Years (up to 48 pound) | Compatible with All Adult MTB | Easy to Install

Product Information

As a small but significant bonus, the legs are surrounded in a rubber sleeve to protect the frame of your bike. The Mac Ride doesn’t have frame protectors on its legs and we did ding our frame once as a result. A favorable difference Lauren recognized almost immediately was the fact that she did not have to bow her legs out as much as she pedaled. This was especially useful during the uphill portions of her ride. With the Shotgun Pro seat sitting higher than other mountain bike kids seats, it gives parents more room to pedal. While this is not a huge performance issue and has never limited Lauren in her riding with other seats, she sure enjoyed the extra space for her legs. When riding these open front mounted child seats, kids typically hold on to the adult’s handlebars while riding. With your hands gripped to the end of the bar, there is usually plenty of space for the child to place their hands between yours.

Off-road or mountain bike kids seats are also designed for slightly older kids (ages 2 to 5 years old) and also do not have a harness system. They were born and bred in the mountain biking world, and are suitable for much more aggressive riding. If you find an item at a lower price with another commercial internet retailer, you will receive it from us at the same price, provided the conditions listed in the link are met. Don’t get too far from the car or home – it’s easy to get carried away with a tailwind behind you, but remember if your kid gets tired or upset, you have to get them home.

Another benefit of mountain bike child seats is their simplistic nature. They allow kids to experience riding front and center without the often complicated fit and bulkiness of traditional child bike seats.

If you’re planning on introducing your little one to the trails, the Shotgun seat is a solid and affordable bet. Mountain bike frames come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and the Shotgun seat will likely fit them all (unless it’s an ebike!). It can even be adjusted to fit bikes with wider tubing. 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.The Shotgun Pro seat has many similarities to the Mac Ride MTB seat. And we know you’re curious, so here are the differences that we think matter most. The knurled aluminium foot pegs give good traction and the two-length adjustable rubber straps kept out little riders feet in well. The Shotgun seat feels safe and secure, allowing us to enjoy the trails together
