The GO has a reassuringly solid feel with a slight wrap-around structure to offer additional protection for your child’s head, elbows and knees and the double-walled shell is designed to give additional impact protection. One downside of this simplicity there isn’t anywhere obvious to fit a light and no high-visibility colours or reflectors.

Recommended?– If you already have a hybrid, town or mountain bike with a pannier fitted and you’re a competent rider not looking to ride on rough surfaces then this is a great and inexpensive option for carrying your child around. If you don’t have a bike with a pannier then you need to consider the added cost of that. If aren’t sure about your bike handling skills (especially around town) with the added weight of seat and child then this might not be the right option for you and the selection of towed child transport options is worth considering. I’m happy to recommend this seat as we’ve been using it happily for over a year and ‘inexpensive’ was the most important consideration after basic safety. 4 out of 5. The universal downside to all rear child seats is how the additional weight impacts on your bike's handling, which at best can make the bike feel extremely heavy and have a high centre of gravity at the rear of your bike. If your child is older/heavier and moves around a lot then this effect is more pronounced. It's also much harder to interact with your child when they're straight behind you.

The whole family has absolutely loved using the Shotgun seat and it’s been a completely different experience to any of the rear mounted ones. I actually feel like I’m riding with my son, seeing what he sees and knowing what he’s doing and able to react to his whoops and enjoyment.

Front-mounted seats might be suitable for younger children ages 1 to 3 years on shorter rides.” An elegant and yet robust child bicycle seat of high quality.

Also, not all frames will be strong enough for a cantilever system, e.g. an open frame without a top tube could suffer with significant seat post flex, and a carbon frame won't do as you'll be putting weight and forces through your frame in directions it wasn't designed for. The Mac Ride is by far the most minimal of all of the best child bicycle seats even when up against the really comparable Shotgun, but this time just a saddle and foot supports straddling the seat post and steerer tube. Maximum child age for this seat is 6 years or a weight of 22kg. However, given our 100cm tall 3 year old already has the shoulder straps on the highest setting then I suspect most kids will be too tall before they get too heavy or old.
