[RBW] Re: Rear racks for kid seats
I've used the blackburn ex-1 with the co-pilot taxi seat on a few bikes. It's not the fanciest seat, but it's worked fine for us and the rack is very secure. I have the rack on a few bikes and my wife and I move the seat between the bikes when we're going on a ride. Overall, I've been happy with the setup.

what's with that holland bike shop and the low prices? it's saying i can get a yepp maxi and rack for $158 usd, whereas it'd be $300 through a u.s. store (and also the yepp seats in the u.s. are not thule, but the ones in europe are not? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Yepp makes a rear rack that works with their seat, and it's bombproof. They also make an adapter that can be fitted to a tubus rack, this is probably what makes Tubus nervous about saying you could put a kid back there, they have to trust everyones ability to mount an adapter securely. The dedicated Yepp rack will make the seat slightly lower profile, making it that 1.5" more stable. And yes, Yepp seats are the best. Here's a link to the Yepp rack- https://smile.amazon.com/Thule-Yepp-Rear-Rack-Black/dp/B016A1VEK2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8=1540952083=8-3=Yepp+rack=41ctlot3nVL=_SY300_QL70_=srch And the adapter- https://smile.amazon.com/Thule-Yepp-Easyfit-Adapter-Black/dp/B00P97LRLK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8=1540952083=8-4=Yepp+rack=41de3ca3JGL=_SX300_QL70_=srch -Kai BKNY On Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 8:25:39 PM UTC-4, Drw wrote: > > I know the preference around here is for front mounted kid seats, but I > think I’m resigned to putting one on the rear.

I ended up getting a beefy steel rack that is designed specifically for the Yepp Maxi rear seat with ez-fit window. I was hesitant about using a rack adapter to fit a rear seat, so this solved all my problems. It also fits a rear taillight as well. Got mine from Holland Bikeshop. This rack: https://hollandbikeshop.com/en-gb/branded-bicycle-parts/steco/steco-luggage-carrier/steco-luggage-carrier-24-inch/steco-power-safety-pannier-rack-26-28-inch-silver/ This seat: https://hollandbikeshop.com/en-gb/bicycle-seat/yepp-bicycle-seats/yepp-bicycle-seat/yepp-easy-fit-bicycle-seat/gmg-rear-child-seat-yepp-maxi-easy-fit-silver/ And here it all is on my Clem: https://www.instagram.com/p/Baj5rBWBGPT/?taken-by=treetopgoods https://www.instagram.com/p/BjgPAmzBkDe/?taken-by=treetopgoods https://www.instagram.com/p/BbC9N6IBisp/?taken-by=treetopgoods On Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 7:25:39 PM UTC-5, Drw wrote: > > I know the preference around here is for front mounted kid seats, but I > think I’m resigned to putting one on the rear.
