About a year ago, I bought the first child's seat for my old bike (blue MTB). My son was 1.5 years old at the time. The seat was available on Amazon (70€), relatively cheap for the entry, all around secured and perfect to get my child used to biking. He loved it from the first day. But I wasn't really satisfied. The construction is relatively wobbly and rests on the frame. Typical cheap Chinese goods. It's okay for children up to 12kg, but it doesn't feel really good on rocky trails. That's why I bought the premium model for almost 300€ one year later for my other bike. I find the price way overpriced, but after the first test rides, the Shotgun Kids Pro seat convinced me 100%.
The system is very well thought out, but it requires that your child sits independently stable, so only from about 2 years old. Now dad and son enjoy the time together on the trails even more and have a lot of fun.
If you also have a young child, I can generally recommend such a seat. But pay attention to the quality or buy the premium model right away.
