Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 Child Bike Seat + Handlebars Combo – Black

The Kids Ride Shotgun 2.0 Child Bike Seat + Handlebars Combo is the second-generation version of the original Shotgun child bike seat — a frame-mounted front child seat designed for children aged 2 to 5 years (12–27kg / 27–60lb) who can sit unaided. Unlike the Pro and Pro Evo seats which mount to the headset and seatpost, the 2.0 mounts directly to the bike frame — clamping to the top tube and down tube with full rubber protection to safeguard alloy and carbon frames. This makes it compatible with a wider range of bike types and frame geometries, including bikes where headset mounting is not possible. The seat attaches and removes in under 30 seconds with the quick release fitting system, requiring no permanent modifications to your bike. This combo includes the 2.0 Handlebars with adjustable width and angle, giving your child something to hold on to for confidence and stability on the trail.

The 2.0 seat features two footpeg positions to accommodate your child's growth through the 2–5 year age range, and adjustable width to fit a variety of frame sizes. It meets EN 14344 safety standards for front-mounted child bike seats. For the headset/seatpost-mounted Pro system with zero frame contact, see the Pro II Combo or the flagship Pro Evo Combo. For the 2.0 seat without handlebars, see the 2.0 Seat only. Browse our full Kids Ride Shotgun range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the 2.0 and the Pro II or Pro Evo?
The key difference is the mounting system. The 2.0 clamps directly to the bike frame (top tube and down tube) with rubber protection. The Pro II and Pro Evo mount to the headset and seatpost with zero frame contact — no clamping to the frame at all. The Pro system is generally preferred for modern mountain bikes as it doesn't touch the frame, but the 2.0 frame-mount system works on a wider range of bike types and geometries where headset mounting may not be possible.

Will the 2.0 fit my mountain bike?
The 2.0 fits most mountain bikes with a standard top tube and down tube that the clamps can grip securely. It is adjustable in width to accommodate different frame sizes. Bikes with very sloped top tubes, unusual frame shapes, or carbon frames with non-standard tube profiles may not be compatible — contact us if you are unsure before ordering.

Can I use the 2.0 on an e-MTB?
The 2.0 can be used on e-MTBs provided the frame geometry allows the clamps to grip the top tube and down tube securely. E-MTBs with very wide or unusually shaped down tubes (common on some models) may not be compatible. Check your frame's tube dimensions before ordering.

What's in the box?
The combo includes the 2.0 child bike seat, 2.0 Handlebars, installation hardware, and a Quick Start Guide.
