Baby Seat for Bicycle

Two positions

The front seat, like the Bobike Go Mini, mounted on the steering tube, places the child between the parent's arms: they can see the road, and the adult can keep an eye on them. It's suitable for children up to about fifteen kilos. The rear seat, like the Polisport Guppy or the Hamax Zenith, accommodates older kids, up to around twenty-two kilos, or up to five or six years old, with a tall backrest and adjustable footrests.

Other luggage

The luggage and transport also include:

• Bike carrier.
• Bags and carriers.
• Shoulder bags.

All the luggage can be found on the luggage and transport page.

Frame or carrier

The rear seat can be attached either to the frame, by a clamp on the seat tube, like the Polisport Koakri or the Bobike Go Maxi, making it compatible with most bikes; or to the carrier, like the Hamax Zenith or the Polisport Koolah, provided it can support the weight. Tilting models, like the Bobike Exclusive Evolve or the Hamax Zenith Relax, allow the child to nap.

Safety rules

The child must be able to sit upright on their own, usually from about nine months, and wear a helmet, which is mandatory in France for those under twelve. A seat compliant with the European standard EN 14344 is chosen, with a harness and foot guards that prevent feet from getting caught in the wheels. It's important to regularly check the fittings and practice riding with a load before the first outings.

Good deals

Good bargains can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year holidays, the winter sales, the French Days in spring, then the summer sales and back-to-school season.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a front or rear baby seat for my bike?

The front seat, like the Bobike Go Mini, is suitable for small ones up to about fifteen kilos and keeps the child in view of the parent. The rear seat, like the Polisport Guppy or the Hamax Zenith, fits larger children, up to about twenty-two kilos.

At what age should a child be installed in a bike seat?

We wait until the child can sit upright alone and wear a helmet without fatigue, generally around nine months to one year. Before that, their neck isn't strong enough to handle the vibrations of the road.

How to attach a baby seat to the bike frame?

Frame-mounted seats, like the Hamax Zenith Relax, clamp onto the seat tube using a provided support, and then the seat clicks into place. Check the diameter of the tube before purchase, and the seat can be removed easily when riding alone.

Does a baby seat fit an electric bike?

Yes, as long as you check for compatibility: a battery mounted on the carrier or seat tube can interfere with some fittings. You should then choose a model suitable for the carrier or a frame attachment that keeps the battery accessible.

What equipment should be prepared to transport a child by bike?

A helmet is mandatory for any child under twelve transported by bike, and the harness must be buckled for every ride. Strap footrests prevent feet from touching the wheel, and padding makes long rides more comfortable.
