Child seat (shotgun or macride) on 2022/23 reign

[Rando_12345]

Hello,

I searched and found one post from someone using a shotgun seat on their Reign. Does anyone use either of these seats and have any recommendations for which one to take for a Reign, which version, and required modifications?

I am a bit worried about the girth of the downtube on the bike, and the very aggressive Geo.

Cheers,
E

I use mac ride on my 2022 Reign E+. You need the widest extender (extra wide). Works like a charm. The "wide" adapter is not enough for Reign. Nothing to say about shotgun. Never used it. If you decide to go mac ride buy the seat, extra wide adapter and 2 or 3 sets of mini grips.

I have a mac-ride and really like it. Used to drop my kids off at nursery, then fold it up put it in my bag and go for a ride. Not sure the the shotgun can fold flat so easily?

Perfect, cheers guys!

@robbydobs you have perfectly described my plan.

The kids ride shotgun pro is designed to be extra wide to accommodate ebike frames.

It can go as small as about 40cm in length, but the seat is pretty well padded so quite bulky. It's quite easy to ride with no child on it though.

I just sold the shotgun pro and the bars on ebay last night! Listed at 20.44 for £150 buy it now + £12 carriage, and it was sold and paid for by 21.10!

My son got his own bike for his 3rd birthday, was on 2 wheels within 3 months, and has no desire to get back on my bike!!
Great piece of kit, and really well made.
