Stacked official word:
Turn every bike ride into a shared adventure with the Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 Child Seat and Bar Combo — the ultimate way to bring your child along for the ride safely, comfortably, and with real feel. Designed for families who want quality time on two wheels, the Shotgun 2.0 lets your child sit up front where they can see, engage, and even help steer while you stay in control.
The Shotgun 2.0 builds on the original’s trusted design with enhanced comfort, durability, and fitment. The ergonomic child seat is padded for long rides and engineered for stability, while the integrated handlebars let your young rider hold on securely and grow their confidence as they ride. Whether you’re cruising the neighborhood, commuting to school, or exploring local trails, the Shotgun 2.0 brings your child into the ride in a way that’s fun and reassuring for both of you.
Installing the Shotgun 2.0 is quick and tool-free on most adult bikes — mountain bikes, cruisers, commuters, and more — so you can easily move it between bikes or take it off when not in use. Adjustable footrests accommodate growth, and the built-in Steering Assist allows your child to feel the flow of the ride while you retain full handling control. The result? A bonding experience that gets kids excited about riding, builds balance and awareness, and makes every bike ride a memory.
From weekend adventures to everyday outings, the Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 is the perfect way to ride together, share the experience, and help your little one develop a lifelong love of biking.

Will the Shotgun 2.0 seat fit my bike?
The Shotgun 2.0 seat fits almost all modern analogue mountain bikes (front suspension required) – including bikes with steep, sloping or tapered top tubes. It’s even suitable for carbon frames. Visit our fitting guide for more detailed information on fitting the Shotgun 2.0 seat.Â
The Shotgun 2.0 seat is not suitable for electric bikes, or bikes without front suspension including road bikes, gravel bikes, some hybrid bikes, beach cruiser bikes, bikes with step-through or single tube frames, or old mountain bikes with brake cables running along the top or side of the top tube.

SHOTGUN 2.0 SEAT FITTING
The Shotgun 2.0 seat fits most modern analogue mountain bikes – including bikes with steep, sloping or tapered top tubes. It’s even suitable for carbon frames.
Will the Shotgun 2.0 seat fit my bike?
The Shotgun 2.0 seat fits most modern mountain bikes – including bikes with steep, sloping or tapered top tubes. It's even suitable for carbon frames.
The Shotgun 2.0 seat will not fit:
- Electric bikes (check out theShotgun Pro seat if you're riding an electric bike)
- Road or gravel bikes (due to the lack of clearance between the front wheel and down tube)
- Cruiser or step-through bikes (due to the lack of clearance between the front wheel and down tube)
- Bikes with a single frame tube
- Some older bikes where the gear or brake cable runs along the top of the top tube (however cables that run elsewhere on the bike are fine)
Shotgun seat measurements
The Shotgun 2.0 seat has a range of adjustment to fit top tubes from 30 – 68mm wide, and down tubes from 30 – 100mm wide. Most modern analogue mountain bikes are within these specifications.
The Shotgun seat fits over the top of your top tube, and secures underneath your bottom tube. The max distance between the top tube and bottom tube of your bike where the shotgun seat mounts can not exceed 195mm if using the top axle position, or 230mm if using the lower axle position.
Are you sure the Shotgun 2.0 seat won't fit my e-mtb?
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 2.0 seat on my carbon frame?
Yes, we have thousands of customers around the world using the shotgun seat on high-end carbon mountain bikes. The clamping force of the shotgun seat is minimal thanks to the load being shared across 5 points of contact, with each point having moulded rubber frame protection.
Will the Shotgun 2.0 seat damage or scratch my bike?
The shotgun seat contacts the frame in 5 places, with each one of these locations has full rubber-moulded frame protection. Sharing the load across these locations helps to minimise the clamping force required, and the rubber protection means your frame is safe from damage or scratching.
