About KIDS RIDE SHOTGUN

Based in the North Island of New Zealand, Kids Ride Shotgun is a close-knit team of mountain bike parents with a global vision – to raise the next generation of mountain bikers. They believe in getting kids off devices and onto mountain bike trails, in parents spending quality time with their kids and in fostering a love of nature and the outdoors. Kids Ride Shotgun believe that riding, and everything it offers, helps positively develop kids, and leaves a lasting impression on both parent and child. And we believe that this is genuinely good for the world!

WHY CHOOSE KIDS RIDE SHOTGUN?

Kids Ride Shotgun (KRS) see their business as a vehicle for raising the next generation of mountain bikers, and they re-invest all profits into product development. Since first launching the shotgun seat in 2017, they have developed a bunch of new products for mountain bike families. From the 'Shred Til Bed' Alphabet book, to the mountain bike tow rope, Kids Ride Shotgun are keen to get more families stoked about riding bikes together. When you spend your hard-earned cash on one of their products, you're not only buying special time with your little one, you’re also raising future mountain bikers into the sport we love – and new riders are being born everyday!

Everything KRS produce is designed to handle the rugged outdoors. And to protect the environment we all love, KRS strive to make their packaging from 100% recycled materials wherever possible.

WORLD CLASS SAFETY: Long before our products hit the market, they go through rigorous safety testing and quality control – both in the factory, and at accredited third party testing laboratories.  For all of our products, we test to international safety standards where they apply. We also test for hazardous substances across all our products, to make sure that all materials and coatings used are safe for little ones.  In recent times, a number of low-quality counterfeit Shotgun products have emerged. We can't speak for the safety of any copy-cat products on the market. Please contact us to report a counterfeit listing.
