A favorable difference Lauren recognized almost immediately was the fact that she did not have to bow her legs out as much as she pedaled. This was especially useful during the uphill portions of her ride. With the Shotgun Pro seat sitting higher than other mountain bike kids seats, it gives parents more room to pedal. While this is not a huge performance issue and has never limited Lauren in her riding with other seats, she sure enjoyed the extra space for her legs. If fact, because the Pro sits higher than the Shotgun classic and the Mac Ride, adjusting where that saddle sits along your top tube is going to make a much bigger difference in the comfort of your ride, as you’ll see below.

Watch professional mountain biker Sam Blenkinsop take his daughter Indie go for a ride on the Shotgun Pro… The Do Little’s footrest is a fixed metal bar that cannot be adjusted. The “loose” design of the Do Little’s footrest is to allow the child’s foot to easily be released from the footrest in the event of a crash. Do Little’s belief is that it is better to have the child easily separated from the bike versus potentially having their leg or foot tweaked by the footrest. The granting of a best price is not combinable with other promotions (e.g. "free articles) from Bike-Discount.

The Shotgun seat does not fit electric bikes, road/gravel bikes, cruiser & step through frame bikes, or older mountain bikes with cables along the top of the top tube. The process with the original Shotgun takes only a few minutes and several steps, but was just inconvenient enough that it made us less likely to want to take the MTB seat off our bike. With the Shotgun Pro, the process is so fast, there is really no inconvenience at all. The shotgun seat has a range of adjustment to fit top tubes from 30 – 68mm wide, and down tubes from 30 – 100mm wide. We have not found any analogue mountain bikes that are outside of these specifications. Unlike other open-style seats on this list, the Tyke Toter’s handlebar is integrated into the seat itself, so those little hands always have a place to land. The placement of the handlebars is close to the child’s seat, however, making the child sit more upright since they aren’t stretching to reach the handlebars. Streetwear – keep it real! Streetwear is more than just street clothes – it is a lifestyle. The term "streetwear" comes from the skate scene of the 1970s. "Keep it real" and "stay true to yourself" was the motto of the young board...

If you're using your bike for daily transport (rather than mountain biking) then it's worth thinking about cargo bikes. The Kids Ride Shotgun bike seats allow adventurous mountain biking parents to bring little groms along for the ride. Designed to fit a wide range of bike frames, the Shotgun seat will allow you to share your love of the shred with your little one. Start ’em young and raise ’em right!The shotgun seat doesn't fit e-mtb's because of the variance between the top tube and the down tube being too great. We have had a handful of customers who have modified their shotgun seat to fit their e-mtb, but that's not something we can recommend. Can I use the shotgun seat on my carbon frame?

The seat is made from smooth, soft rubber, and has soft shoulder padding too. It’s very ergonomic and fits our two-year-old toddler comfortably. It also has a minimalistic, modern design, with an integrated drainage system for rainwater, and comes in nine beautiful colours (the Chigusa green special edition is particularly lovely). We love that the entire seat detaches from the base which is fitted to the bicycle: a convenient feature for when you want to store it away.The original Shotgun seat has helped raise thousands of mini mountain bikers around the world. With easy installation & removal, it’s the perfect mtb child seat for getting started riding with your little one.

But as kids get older and taller on this higher Shotgun Pro seat, it will not be comfortable for you (unless you’re over about 6’1.) More upright means more up in your space. The Pro attaches at two points to your bike – the headset and the seat post. You just need to secure the Shotgun Pro’s front clamp to the headset and rear clamp to the seat post. The Shotgun, Do Little and Mac Ride were all designed specifically for mountain biking. Consisting of merely a seat and a footrest, they are small and compact so they don’t take up very much space on the bike.This seat fits normal stems with a diameter of 20-28 mm (0.78-1.1 inches) and ahead stems with a diameter of 28.6 mm (1.125 inches). Be sure to take time to play with the saddle positioning of the Shotgun Pro before you head out to the trails!
