Kids Ride Shotgun Seat and tow rope

Carrying my toddler on my bike means we can ride trails together – but most tag-along style seats don’t fit my mountain bike’s frame and can’t be used on anything rougher than a gravel pathway. The Kids Ride Shotgun version fits onto top tubes of all sizes and shapes, and hardly affects the handling at all. Plus, a bolt-on set of handlebars means your passenger gets a feel for off-road cornering too.

It is essentially a saddle that clamps to your frame that your child sits on. I won’t lie, I was nervous about the idea of attaching anything onto my top tube, particularly something that would carry my daughter’s weight, but the Shotgun Seat has more grippy rubber on it than an off-road tyre. This helps protect your frame from scrapes and also means it doesn’t need to be done up too tightly in order to stay in place.

We got on with the Shotgun seat from the very first ride – there was no learning curve like with other ride-alongs I’ve tried because my toddler’s weight was balanced right in the centre of my bike and I was completely aware of how much she was getting bounced around or if she was having fun or not. I also think being able to see where she is going helps her get ready for features like corners or small drops and the small set of passenger handlebars makes her feel like she’s part of the process.

Where the Shotgun tow rope differs is the fact it’s rated to 225kg while my existing one only claims 50kg. However, the thing I like best is the fact the Shotgun version comes in its own bumbag that my son can wear, ready for deployment at a moment’s notice. Less stuff to carry for me, a greater sense of responsibility for him. Plus, the blue and purple colours match my bike, so it’s a winner.
