"We’ve tried a trailer, and we’ve had one of those bike seats mounted on the back, but this works the best. Our son Hamish is literally squealing with joy when we take him for a ride" – Andrea MacLennan-Southgate.

"The jury is unanimous. There’s no better first step into the world of mountain biking than the Kids Ride Shotgun child seat."
"What better way to spend time with your little one than by going for a bike ride? The Kids ride Shotgun Seat mounts to the top tube of your MTB so you can still enjoy the trails if your kid is not old enough to ride themselves!"
"If you want to fit more rides into your busy family schedule, bond with your child, and just have a heck of a lot of fun with your favorite little partner, getting the Shotgun seat is a no-brainer."
"Moving your child to the front of the bike helps keeps them safer, but it also keeps them more engaged on the bike. You can talk to your kid while riding, checking in to make sure they’re still having fun."

My daughter loves it! She’s only 2 so a bit of constant reminders to hold on the the bars and keep her feet on the pegs. We’re stoked to be able to go out and do this together now! I actually get to ride my bike!
My best purchase this year. Easy to install and use. I had to readjust it several times because of the shape of the top tube of my bike, but now it's all good. We already went to several great places, we wouldn't be able to go without the seat.
Very happy with my purchase. My brother ordered one a month ago and I tried it on my bike. It was a good fit so I ordered one myself. But he had the second version and I ordered the first. So the measurments weren't the same and it didn't fit around my bikerail. But I fixed it by adding a metal bar and prolonging it so now it fits. The kids love it. I can carry all 3 kids now.
My boy absolutely loves this seat! Super comfortable for him to ride!
Works great, both my kids (age 3 and 5) were fighting for a turn. A lot more interacting than the alternative options.
Great fun!
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.
Because we're from the outdoor mecca of New Zealand, a passion for nature and the outdoors flows through everything we do, and to protect the environment we love, we strive to make our packaging from 100% recycled materials wherever possible.
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.
