Child bike seat Black Friday on sale

During the Black Friday, Vélo-Store brings together its child bike seats here, often on sale: rear child carriers to attach to the frame or the luggage rack, junior seats for older kids, and replacement harnesses. Before taking an offer, check the child's weight, the fitting suitable for your bike, and the mention of the EN 14344 standard.

Three checks before choosing a seat

Weight: according to the National Institute for Consumer Affairs, a bike seat is designed for a child who can sit up unaided and weighs between 9 and 22 kg; beyond that, a junior seat like the Polisport Guppy Junior takes over. The fixing: a frame model clamps onto the seat tube, a rack model requires a rack approved by the manufacturer for the load, and a MIK HD seat can only clip onto this system. Compliance: the EN 14344 standard is shown on the label or in the instructions.

The complete guide is on the child bike seats page.

Child seats on sale: compare with equal fixing

The same model often comes in two fittings. At Polisport, the suffix indicates this: FF for frame, CFS for rack, as with the Joy sold in both versions; the Exclusive Evolve Maxi from Bobike is also available for frame or rack. So compare with the same fixing, then check what is included, like a second mount. The strikethrough price of the frame version does not inform you about the rack version: each fixing has its own price, discounted or not.

What the regulations say

The Highway Code (article R431-11) requires, for a child under five, a seat designed for this use, with a retaining system, and the driver must ensure that the child’s feet cannot be caught in moving parts: adjustable footrests with straps and side protection contribute to this. Until the age of 12, the passenger child must also wear a secured helmet, marked CE: see the helmets in Black Friday.

Which brands of child seats are part of the operation?

Polisport, a Portuguese manufacturer, offers the Joy FF, which attaches to a round or oval frame tube and can slide forward or backward in three positions depending on the child and bike size.

Bobike has equipped the Exclusive Evolve Maxi with a double-walled shell and a backrest that tilts with one hand up to 20 degrees, even with the child seated.

Thule, a Swedish brand, mounts the Yepp Nexxt 2 Maxi Frame Mount on bikes without a rack, featuring DualBeam suspension and a magnetic buckle that the child cannot open.

Hamax, a Norwegian manufacturer, attaches the Kiss to the seat tube with a natural suspension mount; a second mount allows you to switch the seat from one bike to another.

The rack that will hold the seat can be chosen from the luggage in Black Friday, among the other pages of the Black Friday urban. The rest of the year, check the clearance sales and new arrivals.

Frequently asked questions

Does Black Friday always fall on the same day?

It follows Thanksgiving, an American holiday set on a Thursday, so its date changes from year to year. However, for child seats, Vélo-Store runs its discounts throughout the month of November.

From what age should a child be installed in a bike seat?

Manufacturers often indicate 9 months at minimum, provided that the child can sit unaided and wear their helmet without fatigue; Thule advises consulting a pediatrician before the age of one.

Front seat or rear seat?

The front is suitable for younger ones, whom you keep in view; the rear can accommodate heavier children. Most of the seats gathered here are mounted at the back.

Can these seats be installed on an electric bike?

Often, yes: several manufacturers advertise their seats as compatible with bikes with assistance limited to 25 km/h. Check the battery placement, which might occupy the rack or seat tube.
