New Kids Ride Shotgun Pro Seat Vs Macride Offroad Child Seat 

Thanks so much for the review guys! We're pumped to get The Bike Dads seal of approval 🤘

I'm a tad disappointed that for $250 it doesn't come with the handlebars like the ShotGun original had with it. I will check it out, great review!

Thanks for still filming at 1am!! This was great

Thanks for the comprehensive review. I will be making this purchase for my 2 year old son.

works great very happy with it

Planing to get mine. Using the same bike, the Optic :D

What's the "unicorn" mount you're using on the camera pointed back at the cockpit? I've currently got my GoPro mounted direct to the bars, and when it's looking back at us, my daughter on the Shotgun seat is so close to the camera it's difficult to keep her in frame. Any product links would be hugely appreciated.

The shape and rubbery grip of the Mac Ride seat is crucial for keeping the kid planted on the seat, in my opinion, and my favorite part of the Mac Ride. I also prefer the lower position of the Mac Ride seat over the taller position of the Shotgun Pro seat, especially because small, light weight children don't really care about or need much, if any, significant cushioning, and the Mac Ride's rubber seat gives enough cushion. The feet straps on the Mac Ride also keep the kid's feet locked in well, which could be a major safety function. Overall, I think the Mac Ride is just a more efficient design and every component seems to be really high quality including the stainless steel bolts.

If I’m a larger rider, 285lbs, would it best to do a seat like this or a trailer? Just wondering about frame and tire capacity. I have a Specialized Hard Rock ultra bike (19” frame)

Thanks for the review. Will this kind of child seat in a position which would block your peddling movement? Especially would knees hit the back of the ankles of your kids?

Hi. Thank you for the helpfull video ; Could you say me wich backpak you use to pickup the bike of your choke?

Hi, which camera mount are you using to get the mtb selfie shots? Any suggestion? Thanks!

Love love love theses videos!!!! Killing it!!! But this looks like a knock off of a Mac Ride

Hi, I’m thinking to buy one of those but I was concerned about frame issues with my new mtb bike since it has a carbon frame (SC Tallboy) ... do u think is this ok? Or the regular shotgun is also ok with carbon frames?

I have the older version of the shotgun. Do you recommend I get the new version or the Mac Ride?

Hello which mount did you use to record this?

Great thank you for the review! How old were your kids when you started them on the shotguns?

How do you secure the bike on your back?

If I don't have an ebike, any advantage of the Pro vs the macride?

Great vid! I currently own the original shotgun, and it seems that with the pro the kid would sit higher (due to spacing between the top tube and saddle). No issues with the kid helmet bumping into your chin with the pro version?

Thanks for making videos to help get more parents on bikes with their kids! Just curious, were you compensated in any way by either company?

What is the child's bike without pedals that you have on your shoulders?

Is the Shotgun Pro headset spacer compatible with the Macride seat? Or in other words, are the spacers of both brands interchangeable?

Should kids need to be able to ride a balance bike before they ride this kind of seat? Thanks

Thanks for video and info. My son just turned two and is just starting on his Strider so I know the trails are right around the corner for him. I have a curious question not about the seats but on the backpack you have that the balance bike is strapped to in the video. Is it specific for the balance bike or is it a specific strap you have? I see myself wanting to enjoy the seat and also having him enjoy the balance bike on the same ride so bringing the bike with me instead of heading back to the truck would be perfect. Thanks again!

I am a bit disappointed. I hoped to see differences between those two more precisely. The conclusion "either is good" is a bit too ambiguous.

The shotgun pro is a blatant theft of the macride design! Save yourself $45 and get the macride..
