Shotgun Kids MTB Seat – Front-Mounted Child Seat for MTB

Share your passion for the trails with the one you love most. The Shotgun Kids MTB Seat is the ultimate front-mounted seat that lets your child (aged 2 to 5) experience the thrill of mountain biking right there, between your arms. Designed to be frame-friendly and adjustable to fit almost any modern MTB, the Shotgun seat makes every ride an unforgettable adventure in total safety.

Why Choose the Shotgun Seat?

• Central Positioning: The child's weight is balanced in the center of the bike, keeping stability and MTB handling almost identical to riding solo.

• Total Interaction: Your child sees what you see, learns to balance, and you can easily talk to them during the ride.

• Full Frame Protection: Equipped with molded rubber protectors on every contact point, it is safe even for high-end carbon fiber frames.

• Easy to Fit: Thanks to the quick-release system, it can be installed or removed in less than 2 minutes once initial fitting is set.

User Guide: Getting Started

1. Installation: Adjust the bracket width to fit your top tube and position the seat. Ensure the rubber protectors are properly aligned.

2. Tightening: Use the included fastening system to lock the seat in place.

3. Footpegs: Adjust the footpeg height based on your child's leg length.

4. Safety: Ensure the child is always wearing a helmet. Start with easy paths to get them used to the bike's balance.

Compatibility

The Shotgun seat is extremely versatile, but please check the following specifications:

• MTB Friendly: Fits almost all mountain bikes (Full-suspension or Hardtail) with top tubes between 30-58mm wide and down tubes between 30-80mm wide.

• Carbon Fiber Safe: Specifically designed with full rubber protection to prevent damage to carbon frames.

• No E-Bikes: This specific model is not compatible with integrated battery e-bikes (due to the wider down tubes). For e-bikes, we recommend the "Shotgun Pro" version.

• No Road/Hybrid Bikes: Not suitable for bikes without suspension forks or with external cables running along the top of the top tube.
