Kids Ride Shotgun

The Kids Ride Shotgun brand aims to bring an innovative solution to the child bike seat, where instead of traditional child bike seats that have your sprog sitting stationary in a rear mounted seat, your child actually sits in a riding position. There are a number of benefits to the Shotgun bike seat, including teaching them balance skills rather than sitting passively as is the norm in a childs bike seat. They also learn to look ahead and identify hazards, and allows you to talk easily with them as you ride together. The Shotgun kids bike seat can also be mounted on a full suspension mountain bike, whereas a traditional rear mounted kids seat can only be fitted to a hardtail mountain bike, road bike or hybrid bike, where the rear wheel does not have any suspension. There are other front childs bike seat options, but the Kids Ride Shotgun bike seat allows your child to actively participate and learn about moving their body to ride the bike, so in our opinion this is the best childs bike seat. For those worrying about damage to their carbon mountain bike frame, the Kids Ride Shotgun Pro mounts under the handlebar stem and from the seatpost, including dropper posts, meaning there is no contact at all on the frame, making this the ultimate childs mountain bike seat.
