The Shotgun front mounted child bike seat is the original and award-winning way to bring your child along for the ride. Trusted by thousands of mountain biking families around the world, it mounts securely to the top tube of your MTB so your little one rides up front — safe, engaged, and part of the adventure.
Fitting takes just 3–4 minutes with an Allen key. It’s simple to remove and swap between bikes, so getting out on the trails stays hassle-free even with a toddler in tow.
Designed for children weighing 12–27kg (recommended ages 2–5), the Shotgun seat grows with your child. Adjustable leg width, saddle angle, and saddle position mean you can dial in a comfortable fit as they get bigger.
Thick rubber padding protects your frame whether it’s carbon or alloy. The seat has passed independent quality inspections and comes with a 1-year warranty for peace of mind.
Riding up front means your child stays closer to you. You can chat, point things out, and check in on how they’re doing — making every ride a shared experience rather than just a trip from A to B.
The Shotgun seat fits most modern mountain bikes with front suspension, including bikes with steep, sloping, or tapered top tubes. It’s not suitable for e-bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes, or bikes without front suspension. Check the fitting guide if you’re unsure.
Want to give your little one something to hold on to? We also stock the Shotgun 2.0 Handlebars separately. They fit 25.4mm, 31.8mm and 35mm handlebar diameters and are designed to work perfectly alongside this seat — a great add-on for longer rides or more adventurous trails.
