The Shotgun seat positions your child safe between your arms and the conversations and teaching moments you will experience with your child are priceless. We loved the weight distribution of the Shotgun seat on the bike and really allowed for uninhibited steering while on the trails. The foot straps and foot pegs held my kids feet in well. The Kids Ride Shotgun offroad seat mounts to your top and downtube of your mountain bike frame and fits almost all mountain bikes on the market today. You do not need a specific amount of clearance under your stem or above your seat collar on your dropper post like some other offroad seats on the market. The seat provides some great cushioning for your kids rear end as well and we really like how you can adjust the nose of the seat down.
Fitting the seat does take some time, so install while your kid is napping or in bed as a whining toddler is never good to ensure the seat is mounted properly, but they included all the necessary tools to install so you don’t need to dig around to make sure you have all the tools needed to install.
We really enjoyed our time on the Shotgun seat and it has allowed us to spend quality time as a family, allowing us to have quality time together outside while having on on one conversations with each of my kids. The offroad seat market is excellent and the Shotgun seat is another option out there to help Bikedads and Bikemoms head out to trails to create some lasting memories.The Shotgun seat is more economically process than a few other offroad seats on the market at $150 USD. The customer service and support Kids Ride Shotgun is second to none.

The bicycle seat is a great option for kids who want a sturdy frame mounted bike seat, its welded design makes it both stable and light. The installation is easy and the durability will mean it will retain a high resale value. If the bike you’re looking at can take the rack to install the child seat, you’ll be fine. Thanks a lot for the nice post.
