Child Seats Accessories

Child bike seat accessories are the add-on parts and weather gear that adapt a Hamax child seat to your bike and your ride. This range includes fastening brackets for moving a seat between bikes, frame bars for small frames, standard bars for Kiss, Zenith and Caress seats, an A-Head bracket and windscreen for the Observer, a sprung carrier adapter and a waterproof rain poncho. Compatibility depends on your seat model and how it mounts, so check each product page before you order.

Child Bike Seat Accessories Overview

Hamax accessories fall into a few practical groups, each solving a different problem for families who already ride with a Hamax seat.

• Fastening brackets: an extra bracket lets a child bike seat be switched from one bike to another. It comes in a standard version and a lockable version.
• Frame bars: frame bars for small frames are listed for the Kiss, Zenith/Amiga and Caress seats. The Caress version is described as an extended bar to fit the seat onto bikes with small frames.
• Standard and extra bars: standard bars are listed for the Kiss, Zenith and Caress seats. Two extra Caress bars are available, one to lower the seat and one to reduce incline.
• Carrier adapter: the Universal Sprung Carrier Adapter is a mounting plate with integrated suspension for rack-mounted seats.
• Observer accessories: an Observer bracket for A-Head systems and an Observer windscreen.
• Weather protection: a green rain poncho made from waterproof, windproof and breathable nylon.

Choosing the Right Child Bike Seat Accessories

Start with your seat, then your bike. Most of these parts are made for a specific Hamax seat, so the model name is the best guide.

• Match the seat model: bars and brackets are named for the seat they suit, such as Kiss, Zenith, Caress or Observer. Choose the part that carries your seat's name.
• Check how your seat mounts: frame-mounted and rack-mounted versions of a seat can differ, so confirm which one you own before buying a bar, bracket or adapter.
• Think about a second bike: if you want to use one seat on two bikes, an extra fastening bracket with lock or a fastening bracket without lock (the version that is not lockable) lets the seat move between bikes.
• Check your frame: if your bike has a small frame, look at the frame bars for small frames. The product pages do not define "small frame", so contact us if you are unsure.
• Check your rack: the Universal Sprung Carrier Adapter lists specific requirements: a luggage tray between 120 and 180 mm wide, round tubes between 10 and 20 mm, and a rack approved for 27 kg.
• Consider the weather you ride in: wet or windy rides call for a poncho or, for the Observer, a windscreen.

Features and Benefits

• Move one seat between bikes: an extra bracket means you do not need a second seat for a second bike. Choose the lockable version if you want that option.
• Integrated suspension: the sprung carrier adapter is described as a shock-absorbing plate designed to give the child a smoother ride.
• Full-coverage rain protection: the Rain Poncho Green is described as fitting completely around the child and the seat, with an extra-large hood with room for a bike helmet.
• Compact storage: the poncho has an attached pouch for storing it when not in use.
• Wind, rain and insect protection: the Observer windscreen is described as protecting against wind, rain and insects when cycling.
