Quick to Fit and Remove
The quick-release fitting makes the seat straightforward to fit when it is family ride time, then remove when you are heading out solo. The frame-mounted design uses full rubber protection to help look after alloy and carbon frames.
Adjusts as Your Child Grows
The leg width, seat angle and saddle position can be adjusted to suit your bike and child. Two footpeg positions help keep little legs comfortable as your child grows, extending the useful life of the seat through the early riding years.

Our Thoughts
The Shotgun 2.0 is a practical option for families who want a child seat that is easy to fit and remove without permanently changing the bike. The adjustable footpegs and frame fit make it a good choice for children who are growing quickly.
Important Use Advice
Always check frame compatibility and follow the supplied fitting and safety instructions before use. Your child should wear a correctly fitted helmet, remain seated with feet on the footpegs and be supervised at all times. Avoid technical trails, large drops and riding beyond your child’s comfort level.
