Bike seat accessories in the Sportano shopBike seats are essential accessories for parents who want to cycle safely with their children. However, to ensure maximum safety and comfort for both child and parent, it is worth equipping the seat with additional accessories. From mounting brackets to wind deflectors, shock-reducing cushions to head rests, each of these accessories plays an important role in ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride.
In the Sportano shop you will find a wide range of bike seat accessories from renowned brands such as bobike, Thule, Hamax or Urban Iki.Bike seat mounting bracket: stability and safetyThe bike seat mounting bracket is an essential component that guarantees the stability and safety of the bike seat. Its main task is to ensure a solid connection between the seat and the bicycle, which is crucial for the safe transport of children. Choosing the right handlebar is crucial to the whole experience of cycling with your child.
These holders are usually made of strong, durable materials such as steel or high quality plastics to ensure that they are strong and resistant to various weather conditions. An important feature of a good handle is its ability to withstand the weight of the seat and child, as well as its ability to withstand the vibrations and jerks that can occur during the ride.
Some holders are equipped with a quick-mount and dismount system, which is convenient for parents who want to quickly and easily transfer the seat between different bikes. This type of system also allows the seat to be easily removed when not in use, which is particularly useful for those with limited storage space.Wind deflector for the seat: protection from adverse conditionsThe wind deflector for the seat is another essential accessory to protect your child from adverse weather conditions such as wind, rain and even snow. This is particularly important in climates where the weather can change quickly and on longer bike rides.
These covers are usually made of a transparent, waterproof material, which allows the child to observe his or her surroundings and provides good illumination inside the seat. At the same time, the material effectively protects against rain and wind, keeping the child dry and warm.
An important feature of good wind shields is their ventilation system, which prevents evaporation and guarantees adequate air circulation inside the seat. This maintains a comfortable environment for the child, even when driving in less favourable weather conditions.
Ease of fitting and removing the cover is another key consideration. Many wind deflectors are designed so that they can be quickly fitted to the seat in the event of a sudden change in weather and just as easily removed when the rain stops. Folding covers are also easy to store and transport, an added benefit for parents who want to be prepared for all weather conditions.Shock-reducing cushions and mats: comfort for the childShock-reducing cushions and mats in bicycle seats play a key role in ensuring comfort for the youngest passengers. Cycling, especially on uneven paths or cobbled roads, can generate shocks which are transmitted to the seat and felt by the child. It is therefore important to equip the seat with accessories that will effectively absorb these shocks and vibrations.
Shock-reducing cushions and mats are usually made of soft, flexible materials, such as high-quality foam or gel, which are excellent at absorbing shocks. These accessories not only make the ride more comfortable, but also prevent possible discomfort or pain caused by prolonged vibrations.
The choice of suitable cushions and mats should take into account both the size and weight of the child and the specifics of the seat. It is important that they fit well and do not restrict the functionality of the seat itself, including access to the seat belts and other safety features. Some models of cushions and mats are universal, while others are specifically designed for specific seat models.Head rest and side guards: additional protection in the seatThe head rest and side guards in bike seats are an important element of additional protection for the child. They provide support for the child's head and body, especially during naps, and increase safety in the event of unforeseen events such as tilting or slight collisions.
The head support is usually made of soft but stable materials that provide comfort and safety for the child. This is particularly important for young children, who may not yet have the strength to hold their head in a stable position on their own. A good head rest should be easily adjustable, allowing it to be adapted to the child's height and needs.
Side guards, on the other hand, provide extra protection for the child, especially in the head and shoulder area. They are important because they can be the first line of defence against possible contact with the ground or other objects if the bike tilts. Like the head rest, the side guards should be made of resistant and shock-absorbing materials that can effectively absorb shocks.
It is also important to ensure that the head rest and side protection do not obstruct the child's field of vision or access to the seat belts and other seat functions. Their installation should be simple and robust, and the accessories themselves should be easy to clean and maintain.
