Hamax Child Bike Seats: Choosing the Right Seat

Hamax lists four seat models in this category, all for children from approximately 9 months up to 22 kg (48.5 lb). The main decision is how the seat attaches to your bike. The compare child seats page shows the models side by side.

• Frame-mounted: The Kiss, Amiga, Zenith Relax and Caress fix to the frame with a bracket and a free-hanging steel bar. The Zenith Relax, Amiga and Caress list a frame tube diameter of 28 to 40 mm and can be used on bikes with or without a luggage carrier.
  
• Rack-mounted: The Zenith Relax with Carrier Adapter and Caress with Sprung Carrier Adapter V2 fit a luggage rack. The Zenith Relax version lists a rack width of 120 to 175 mm, round tubes of 10 to 20 mm and a rack approved for 27 kg (ISO 11243).
  
• Small frames: Frame bars for small frames are sold separately for the Kiss, Zenith Relax, Amiga and Caress.
  
• Recline: The Caress reclines up to 20 degrees and the Zenith Relax up to 12.5 degrees, both adjusted with one hand. The Amiga does not recline, and no recline is listed for the Kiss.
  
• Security and second bikes: The Caress with Lockable Bow Bracket includes a seat lock. The other frame-mounted seats use a fastening bracket, with a locking version sold separately. Quick-release brackets let you move a seat between bikes.
  

Features of Hamax Child Bike Seats

These features are listed on the Amiga, Kiss, Zenith Relax and Caress product pages, with some variation by model.

• 3-point harness: Adjustable, with a safety buckle that gathers the straps so they stay on the child's shoulders.
  
• Adjustable footrests: Footrests move as your child grows, and adjust with one hand on the Zenith Relax and Caress.
  
• Extra helmet space: Room at the top of the seat stops the child's head being pushed forward when wearing a helmet.
  
• Steel hoop suspension: The free-hanging steel hoop or bar is designed to absorb shocks from the road.
  
• Quick-release bracket: The bracket clicks when locked, green indicators show when it is fitted correctly, and a strap also connects the seat to the bike frame.
  
• Padding and reflectors: Padding is listed as removable or replaceable, and the Kiss, Zenith Relax and Caress list reflectors on the back of the seat.
