Kids Ride Shotgun - Front Mounted Child Bike Seat | Easy Install | Made for Mountain Bikes

Brilliant product, highly recommend!

Great bit of kit easy to fit and gets the kids used to holding on to the bars 👌

This thing is awesome, worth every penny.It is shown fitted to an aluminium frame commuter bike with metal mud guards. (Specialized Globe 600 I think). Use it for daily nursery run.Note: suitable for small frames only: This bike has a 50cm frame. On larger frames there is too much distance between the top and bottom bars. I upgraded to a 57cm frame and it doesn't fit anymore. (the bike shop did some clever work with a U bracket to make it fit, but this is a modification to the product.) Note the paragraph below about handlebar height though: actually it seems a good combination to use this seat + a small frame even if you should normally have a bigger frame bike.Was worried it might get too close to the mudguards at the bottom. Nope, not much clearance but the thing is mounted so securely I'm not worried about it slippingDoes it look too far forward? I thought so from pics and when I first mounted it, but no this is perfect. Kid can hold the middle of the handlebar, and things don't get in the way of your knees when you are peddling.Do you feel the kid should sit higher? Again no, the handlebar is at the perfect height for them to hold and hypothetically IF I came to a sudden stop, I feel that the kid would fly forward into the handlebar and post, which might "catch" them, as opposed to them flying over the handlebar. I'm not planning for this to happen if course.The construction is sturdy and well thought through. Rubber protection for all the parts that touch the bike.ONLY slight negative is that the "quick release" isn't that quick because you have to undo the foot pedals too, which have pretty long threads. I think the idea is that it is a "tool-less release" ie. you don't need a spanner. Am not fussed though, this thing is staying on pretty much permanently.An idea/tip: I'm going to get some handlebar tape to put on the inner part of the handlebar that she holds on to.Before the kid got over 15kg I had her on the Thule Nexxt Mini. I highly recommend that too for smaller children.It is so much better having the child in front of you. They can see where they are going, you can chat, and it feels much more secure having them between your arms.Always ride safe with a kid - no need to race, and be very circumspect around traffic. It is a great responsibility!

I was on the fence about buying one of these. The advertising makes the product look fantastic but the price is pretty steep. My 4 year old son is always reluctant to go out on his balance bike or stabilised bike. I was desperate to get him out on 2 wheels so I bit the bullet and ordered one.It really is fantastic! My son loves it and was laughing as we hit some bumpy trails. He is totally relaxed and is 'in on the action' at the front of the bike. It must be so much better than staring at my back on one of those seats strapped to the back of the bike.Whilst the price is a little steep, you do get what you pay for. The quality is great, the design so intuitive to install or remove. You can genuinely remove or install within a couple of minutes after the initial install. Mine is fitted onto my Specialized turbo levo e-mtb. There is no frame contact and it feels really solid when installed. The balance of the bike when my son is on feels perfect and easy to manoeuvre. I'm hoping this will give my son more confidence to get on his own bikes now he has had a feel for what riding is like.If you're sat on the fence like I was, go for it!

Who doesn’t like spending obscene amounts of money on must have cycling accessories? Take my money!!This accessory screams premium quality from the get go. The seat unit is nicely packaged and the components are individually wrapped and protected in the box. The seat even comes with a set of decent tools. Giving you everything you need to get the seat securely attached to your bike. Plus a set of bad4ss stickers.The instructions are very easy to follow, with additional support on YouTube. The components fit together effortlessly and also disassemble easily too.The adjustability of the seat is great, I have an XL bike and the seat allows adjustment for the width of the top tube, down tube, angle of the saddle and the angle of the foot pegs.Yes it’s expensive, but for me it’s the only option I saw that was viable between rear and front mounted seats. My rave review is completely backed up from the experience of opening the box, the process of fitting the seat on my bike and then hitting the trails, works a treat! Also, rear mounted seats don’t allow for you to keep an eye on your little one and I’ve even seen several poor kids getting whacked in the face by peoples rear ends in the past... not a nice experience for them I’m sure...Buy one. Honestly you won’t be disappointed.But just keep an eye on where your bikes gear, brake and dropper post cables are. If they are on the the top or side of the top tube, or slightly the the side of the down tube you may find the seat impossible to fit.

The handlebar didn’t attach to the bike handle bar very well. It needed a larger grommet to grip sufficiently.Otherwise nice piece of kit.
