Bobike rear child seat mounting systems explained

Bobike offers several mounting options for rear child bike seats on luggage racks.
At first glance, the models may look similar, but the installation system and everyday usability differ significantly.
In this article, we focus specifically on rear rack mounting systems, as they are the most popular for urban use.
1. Classic rear rack mounting (Carrier)
Example:
Bobike Go Maxi Carrier
The simplest and most universal option.
How it works:
- the seat is fixed to the rack using mounting clamps
- installation requires time and fastening (usually with tools)
- the seat typically stays on the bike permanently
Key point:
Fits most standard luggage racks
2. EB-D — advanced mounting system
Example:
Bobike One Maxi EB-D
A more advanced solution from the ONE series.
How it works:
- a mounting base is installed on the rack
- the seat clicks into place in one motion
- removal takes seconds and requires no tools
Key point:
Quick-release system for convenient daily use
3. MIK-HD — integrated system
Example:
Bobike One Junior
MIK-HD is a quick-mount system integrated into certain bike racks.
How it works:
- the seat is placed onto a dedicated platform
- locks with a simple “click”
- removal takes seconds
Key point:
Works only with MIK-HD compatible racks
4. AVS+ — alternative click system
AVS+ is another quick-mount standard.
How it works:
- the seat clicks into a compatible rack
- installation and removal are tool-free
Key point:
Compatible only with AVS+ racks
5. Universal models (2-in-1)
Example:
Bobike One Maxi Frame & Rack
What it means:
the seat can be mounted:
- on a rack
- or on the frame
A flexible solution for different bike setups
Key differences
Compatibility
- Carrier and EB-D → fit most standard racks
- MIK-HD and AVS+ → require compatible rack systems
Ease of use
- Carrier → basic, usually not removed
- EB-D → quick release, ideal for daily use
- MIK-HD / AVS+ → fastest mounting, but system-dependent
Conclusion
Although the seats may look similar, the mounting system has a major impact on usability:
- Carrier — simple and universal
- EB-D — more convenient and advanced
- MIK-HD / AVS+ — maximum convenience with compatible racks
Important
Bobike also offers:
- frame-mounted rear seats
- front child seats
However, rear rack systems remain the most practical and popular choice for everyday urban riding.
