"I’ve tried a few seats and this is by far the best. Plus my daughter absolutely loves getting out on the trails with me. Easy to get on and off with no problems on my carbon frame. I highly recommend." – Paul Greenwood

"The jury is unanimous. There’s no better first step into the world of mountain biking than the Kids Ride Shotgun child seat."

We’re on a mission to raise the next generation of mountain bikers!
Long before our products hit the market, they go through rigorous safety testing and quality control – in the factory, at accredited third party testing laboratories and on the trails.

We see our business as a vehicle for raising the next generation of mountain bikers, and re-invest all profits into product development. When you buy our products, you’re not only buying special time with your little one, you’re also buying into the future of the sport we all love.
Excellent product!! Spent some quality time with my kid in Trent park last weekend. Recommended 💯
Easy to install, very stable for our lad.
Best idea out for taking the kids! Wish I got one sooner
As stated in the title, it does the job. My kid likes it.
However, it is not the best fit if you have a woman's frame.
Our 2.5yr old loves the sense of freedom yet wants to be close to us... this provides the best combination of both for him. He has started riding his scoot bike now too -- we think its thanks to the inspiration and "feel" he developed while riding with us on the shotgun.
Using your region's website is the best way to find stockists or learn more about the shotgun seat.
