    Grande qualità ma non proprio per tutte le MTB
    Per le persone come me, alte 2 mt, e quindi con telai MTB importanti, sono poche le regolazioni di settaggio disponibili

    Toddler loves i
    Having previously used the Thule Yepp mini, I wanted a seat that would fit my full suspension bike and given that my daughter is now bigger, it feels much more spacious riding with her on there. She loves it and despite her not being strapped in, it feels safe. It was fairly easy to install.

    I purchased this and had to return do to a defect. I dropped it off at Whole Foods Saturday and received the replacement Monday. That is awesome service.

    I bought this for bike trips with our 4 year old. I was concerned about him feeling uncomfortable, especially since he has nowhere to lean his back. But he absolutely loves it. We cycled well over two hours with a break in between. Bike seat is well made, easy to install. If we use the bike without our toddler, I just quickly remove the saddle. It was also relatively easy to cycle uphill, I think having the weight in front rather than in the back makes that easier.

    Easy to install. It’s not in the way when riding the bike alone, without kiddo. Toddler loves it, and can see when we’re out. I can talk to him because he’s right there. So glad we got this seat and not another!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGreat, but make sure your child is responsible!
    I tried this with both my 21 month old and 4 year old. Both were able to hold on and balance, but I wouldn’t let the younger one ride for any appreciable distance. Any child that uses this has to be able to hold on without losing focus. During one evening ride, the 4 year old started falling asleep which was a little scary.

    With the caveats in mind, this seat is great fun. Just keep in mind it’s not as safe as strapping them into a bucket seat!

    Amazing
    Amazing product and my little boy (3yr old) loves it.

    My bike has a thicker, wider down tube than the top tube but it still fits fine.

    We’ve been on 20mile cycles and down blue runs and it’s always felt safe.

    Only worthy note is you can’t adjust foot pegs so we’ll see how long it lasts as my little 3yr old boy is taller for his age.

    Bought this when my son was two, he is now 3 and continues to love this seat. He was a little nervous at first but now is very comfortable and confident on it. A great way to spend quality time with my son. Easy to install and remove.

    Make sure to have a picture because all the instructions say is to follow the instructions and then there is no instructions. My daughter loves it though.

    Sure I was worried about safety. And I was worry about installation. But in the end if you read the instructions, there’s no difficulty it’s straightforward, it’s fast to set up and it’s great. My nearly 4-year-old son loves riding on this seat. Literally screaming “woo hoo! This is amazing!!” I can actually ride with both my young boys on one bike and go for a bike ride it’s fantastic.

    Sturdy, solid and safe for kids. Super fun to bring them with you on the trails. Good quality, a little heavy, but easy to (dis)mount.

    I bought this last year for my two year old daughter and she absolutely loves going on bike rides. My wife and I were a little worried at first because it doesn't come with a "seatbelt" of any kind but it turned out to be a great buy. Highly recommended.

    I was skeptical at first because of the price and I was afraid of maneuverability, but it’s worth it and my daughter absolutely loves it! I’ve heard from other parents that the trailer is so heavy and can get difficult to pull because of the drag. Also, it’s scary because you can’t keep eyes on it since it’s behind you but I absolutely love this seat and wish I had purchased it with my first kid! It makes riding with all my kiddos super enjoyable!

    My son has upgraded to a 20" MTB finally, and my 2-year old daughter wants to come on every biking adventure. I wanted something that would allow her to participate in some way other than tagging along on a Strider. This is perfect. She's fearless, but loved this from the first ride. Haven't hit single track yet, but rough riding around the neighborhood and a family farm were a breeze.

    Passt nicht auf jedes Bike
    Vorab: Das teil macht spa. Leider passt es nur auf Bikes wo die Oberrohrdicke mit der Unterrohrdicke bereinstimmt. Beim Specialized Stumpjumper FSR 2017 passt es nicht.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIt works well and safely.
    This is excellent. As you can see from the video my daughter loved testing this out this afternoon. It was well packaged and you even get a very good quality pair of spanners and Allen key for assembly. It also comes with a few cool stickers too.

    Pros: Pretty much everything about this item is a pro, very well made (and should be for the price), sturdy, comfy, safe and secure when my daughter is sitting on it.

    Cons: 2 cons here. One is that the manual isn’t really the best if you have absolutely no idea of assembling stuff, however using one’s common sense with fitting this to your bike is easily done.
    And 2, whatever you do before buying this please for the love of god, or more importantly your son or daughter who’s going to be sitting on the bike with you,,, please check to make sure that your bike does NOT have the rear brake and gear cables run along the top of the top bar. My bike does and so when riding round the garden I was fixed in one gear and only had the front brake to stop. Which if I was riding on the road would see me and my daughter flip over the front and lazer eyes from my missus hit the back of my head as we get up from the pavement hoping I haven’t broken any of my daughter’s bones. That said I’m not going to be returning this as I plan to change my very old bike for a newer one so will be getting a bike where the top bar is free of all said cables.

    I do highly recommend this product.

    Your kids will love it!
    While installing it to my new bike I ended up scratching my bike, its probably unavoidable. My kid seems to enjoy ridding with me so im happy with it. You hmjust have to make sure sure that your child always hold on to the handle because my kid always remove his hand and I have to constantly tell him to hold on and making sure supporting him so he won’t fall just incase.

    Brilliant seat!
    Solid, safe and super fun!

    Right out the box this thing is quality built. Its safe for my son and its safe for my bike. I have used it on both my carbon framed MTB and alloy bike. I have kept it on the alloy bike as I ride clipped in on the carbon and I think with this its better to ride flat pedals simply because its a tad awkward getting on and off with a 3 year old sitting on the bike without the added issue of un clipping.

    Highly recommend this seat my son absolutely loves it, he feels in control of the bars and giggles and laughs his head off the whole ride!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersSchlechte Qualitä
    Ich war leider nur ein paar mal mit dem shotgun unterwegs… Hat mega Spa gemacht musste aber nach jeder Tour den Sattel wieder richten. Jetzt sind beide Schrauben auf einer Seite abgebrochen. Die Schrauben sind in das (hauptmodul) eingelassen und lassen sich nicht ersetzten. Kundenservice in NZ ist natrlich nicht erreichbar. Schade tolles Produkt mit offensichtlich schlechter Qualitt. Ich bin gespannt wie lange ich/wir auf Ersatz warten mssen oder ob wir gleich den Preis erstattet bekommen?

    Fun added feature
    Love the concept for the design and our daughter was so happy being upfront to were she could see!!

    Cons – we have this on hubby’s mountain bike and it overall fits just fine until we start to ride and my daughters seat starts to filter back. So not sure if it’s a fitting issue or what.

    Nice piece of kit!
    I choose this seat because my son is quite tall and was on the weight threshold of a rear child seat. It seemed easy enough to install watching YouTube videos. It’s nice and sturdy and he seems comfortable. I love how he can be upfront and talk to me whilst riding, because of this he has learnt lots about road safety.

    flexible, fitted nicely to my bike (Trek), and quiet solid.
    quiet easy to mount and remove (takes 5 minutes). my grandson and me enjoy it for 1-1.5 hours of ride, and the seat position really makes it being together.

    Way better than the oxford explorer!
    I was going to get the oxford little explorers, as it saves so much money – but with this you get what you pay for. The metal is thick, the metal foot bars for the child are like one on a BMX, and the seat is thick and well padded. When it comes to my precious cargo, this is so worth the money.! Don’t think about the cost, think about what you get for it!

    Das einzige wobei ich mich rgere, ist, dass ich dieses Produkt erst so spt entdeckt habe.
    Es hat einen stolzen Preis, aber das Juchzen meines dreijhrigen Sohnes beim Fahrradfahren entschdigt. Wir haben beide so viel Spa und freuen uns immer, uns vernnftig unterhalten zu knnen und beide eine gute Sicht zu haben. Ich hoffe, wir haben noch lnger Freude damit und er wchst nicht so schnell raus. Wir knnen es kaum erwarten, bis endlich Frhling ist.

    Mit etwas handwerklichem Geschick auch auf e-MTB anpassba
    Mein Bike (Moustache) hat 5cm Oberrohr und 10cm Unterrohr-Durchmesser (ins Rahmenrohr integrierter Akku). Habe die Seitenprofile mit Hilfe eines Schraubstocks leicht angewinkelt. Der Sitz passt jetzt perfekt, meine Tochter liebt ihn, natrlich auch den Shotgun-Mini-Lenker. Ist vom Hersteller so nicht empfohlen, ich wollte aber nicht lnger auf eine spezielle e-MTB-Version warten und mir auch kein anderes System zulegen (der Shotgun ist sehr schnell montierbar, wenn er einmal angepasst wurde). Klare Empfehlung!

    Passt super auf unser normales MTB und auch auf das E-MTB.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersAwesome fit, even on a fatbike, kid loves i
    I thought the price was a bit steep but after receiving, installing and using it I can attest to the fact the price is about right.

    The quality is very high. Both the seat itself and the tools included in the box are high quality and I expect them to last for the next 10 years no problem if I take care of them (one kid is 2 and I have another one on the way).

    Installation was not as easy as I thought it would be even though the video with instructions was very helpful. My bike’s a Kona Wo fatbike with a top and bottom tube of different size (the bottom one is way bigger) so it took me a good 25 min to install and then a few more minutes twice after riding it with my kid to make it perfect.

    My boy is 23 months, picked it up right away and absolutely loved it. Massive grin on his face, he wouldn’t stop saying fatbike (which he pronounces fkit…). The first week we went riding over an hour every day after I picked him up from daycare. It snowed, there was ice on the road, no problem whatsoever.

    One thing I really love is people’s face since the seat is kind of hidden. It looks like my kid’s riding shotgun on the top tube 😀 most guys have a big smile on their faces when the see him, quite a few moms look a little worried 😀

    TLDR : awesome quality, very much worth it, if you’re looking at the cheaper options but you can afford this one, don’t hesitate. Your kids will love it for years to come.

    Good but a little expensive for the quality of fitme
    The seat is nice however there are 2 minor problems I have found. The first is that it doesn’t fit my bike very well, it is a bit wobbly but my bike has a more unusual frame (Orange Patriot). The other is that it’s quite easy for my son’s feet to slip off the foot pegs. As for the value, I think it would be better if it included the handle bars.

    Been wanting one for years, then I pulled the shotgun trigger and I’m so glad I did. I was in love with going out on my bike but having a little one and working full time it’s never easy. So this was a great in between for me. Also the little man absolutely loves coming out with me hence the title PRICELESS..!!!
