    Determine your mounting option

    The Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat is available in two attachment options to fit the widest variety of bike styles. Each option is listed separately, so please read carefully to determine the option that will meet your needs.

    Secures directly to the bike frame with a dual-bar steel suspension system and lockable bracket, fitting most bike frames 28-40 mm in diameter. If your bike DOES NOT have a cargo/luggage/carrier rack, choose this option. This style is not compatible with most e-bikes or carbon frames.

    One of the smaller lockable bracket designs on the market, this design mounts on the bike frame without interfering with important components or your comfort. With the simple push of a button, you can secure the anti-theft lock and take the keys with you. Acquiring a second lockable bracket allows you to easily transfer the seat between bikes.

    Secures to your bike’s cargo/luggage/carrier rack with a dual-spring suspension adapter, fitting racks 120-180 mm wide with tubes between 10-20 mm in diameter. Your bike’s rack must also have a minimum weight capacity of 55 lb. This style accommodates e-bikes, carbon or non-standard frames with an installed cargo/luggage/carrier rack.

    With the simple push of a button, you can secure the anti-theft lock and take the keys with you. Its innovative twist-closure design allows for tool-free installation and easy transfer between rack carriers on different bikes.

    *Hamax USA Customer Service is available and happy to help with any fitting issues post-purchase. Customer Service can be reached at: 877-252-4560 (8am-4pm PST) or [email protected].

      This seat was easy to install on a rack. Note that because of the spring suspension, the seat and kiddo away a lot of you stand up and crank uphill, which our kid didn’t like. Other than that, our first ride was 28-mile RT, and our kiddo was happy and comfortable.

      Best bike seat ever for the kids. My daughter loves sitting on the seat. The shock absorbers are so good and she barely can feel the bumps on the road. Hands down best rack seats for the bikes.

      Light weight. Easy to install. Easy to adjust straps. Fits our 17 month old well. Thinking about getting changing to a rack mount due to the bounce caused by going up hill with the frame mount.

      Pretty good little seat, our one year old baby girl loves being outside and this allows her to go with me on bike rides. I love how easy it is to take the carrier off if I decide to trail ride that day. Already recommended to several people!

      We absolutely love this bicycle seat! We have been using it and love it. We have a 20 month old that loves looking at his big brother while he rides by. At first the original mount did not fit but after a call to Hamax customer service they sent out the small frame adapter and voila! Worked like a charm. We are looking forward to many bike journeys with our Caress bike seat.

      Fantastic! My two year old is tall and over 45 lbs, I have not been able to find bike seats that would fit him until I found this one. It’s very sturdy, and because it’s suspended, he doesn’t mind any bumps on the road. The installation was a breeze and taking the seat off the bike and attaching it back on is very easy.
      Great product! Highly recommended.

      Super excited to receive my Hamax bike seat, I received the incorrect seat(rack mount) instead of the (frame mount) and there was no hassle. Amy (Operations Manager) was amazing and solution driven to assure that I was satisfied and sent us the correct seat with expedited shipping. Great customer service!

      Satisfied with the product. I purchased 2 of these seats to go on my blix packa cargo bike. They work great, very good design. Only downfall is, the padding. The seats literally have no padding at all for the kids.

      Great infant/toddler seat for the beach as it cushions the ride on a fat tire ebike. 2 negatives though: 1. It’s made in China, which I don’t like as I like to support democracies and not authoritarian communist countries who do not believe in human rights; and 2. The straps on the seat are a little complex and not very robust. The shell of the seat is great though and I think the design dynamic is very simple but clever.

      I’m very satisfied with both the seat and customer service. I have the rack-mount option. When the seat arrived, the locking pin on the tightening know would not engage (a security issue, not a safety issue.) Customer service sent out a replacement part same day. I will note that it takes a lot of screwing with a nob that must be depressed (like a child-safe medicine container) to install and remove the seat from the rack. I ride only once a week with my grandchild so the time to install and remove the seat isn’t a big deal. If you’re going to be frequently putting it on and off, the rack mounting system might be inconvenient. Some sort of quick release system would be very welcome.

      One additional note. Another reviewer said that the neck cushion product was required for comfort so I bought one. I haven’t used it yet and my passenger seems to be perfectly comfortable without it. I suggest saving your money until you find out if you actually need it.

      This bike seat far exceeded expectations! It’s much more comfortable for our toddler than our previous bike seat (Schwinn Deluxe). She often complained of her back hurting from bumps, but this new seat with suspension completely eliminates that problem! She loves it and we can take longer rides now. The recline option is nice—not really sleepable since the helmet keeps their head from leaning back comfortably, but better than no recline!

      We decided to go with a Hamax over a Yepp seat because of the suspension. We ride a Tern GSD and this fits on the back rack, although it does take it more rack space than a Yepp due to the attachment method. Previously, we were riding a regular bike with a seat mounted seat, and the Hamax mounted on the GSD deck is much more stable. I cannot speak to the stability of the Yepp seat, since I only tested that and didn’t use it regularly. Do remember to follow the installation instructions and regularly check your seat to make sure its secure. I wish the bolt that attached the seat to the base was metal, and that it locked in. But I would buy this again if I needed one! Its much more comfortable for my kid on our bumpy roads. I can’t speak to being better for naps, my kid doesn’t nap any more on the bike.

      This is an awesome bike seat for you and your little ones. It’s not the cheapest seat on the market, but the online reviews, quality, simplicity of use and especially the weight rating really swayed me to choose this vs other options. It was very easy to install on my Cannondale CAAD 8 Road Bike, and it’s super easy to remove the seat itself when going out on solo rides. The quality of the materials and build seem to be excellent, and adjusting the height of the shoulder straps and foot rests is very easy when switching between kids. I like that you can recline this seat by up to 20 degrees by simply turning the dial; since my little one always seem to fall asleep in this seat, I just leave the seat reclined, making it a bit more comfortable for him. I also like that this seat is rated for heavier kids than a lot of the other seats – that hopefully means I’ll get more usage out of. I would note that unfortunately I could not install the frame-mounted version of this seat on my wife’s 24″ Electra Cruiser bike – the seat tube was not tall enough to provide the necessary clearance between the seat and the rear wheel, requiring us to purchase a bike trailer for when we want to take both kids (2 & 4 yrs old) along for the ride. As long as you have a “normal” length seat tube, you should be good. I would definitely recommend this for anyone who wants a safe, high-quality bike seat to tote their little ones around in.

      I was worried about putting a child bike seat on my only bike, a road bike, but my Hamax seat has been a lifesaver. Initially, the seat threw off the balance of my bike, that WAS NOT because of the design of the seat, it was MY FAULT because I mounted the seat too high on my down tube. Once I lowered/adjusted the height of the seat my bike performed as I had expected it to with a bike seat attached to it.

      The seat itself, once it is installed, is very easy to use. The straps are easy to manipulate and fit easily over the head of a helmet-wearing child. The restraints for the feet are easy to secure and the other adjustments are simple and easy to manipulate.

      Awesome seat! Easy installation on my Schwinn bike especially after watching the installation video. However, I don’t think it’ll install on my wife’s bike as the brake cable and loop is on the side of her frame that it hooks up to. I could always buy the rack mount for hers though so that’s an option. I’ve been riding with my 3 yo for a few weeks now and he loves it. It’s been fun riding together as a family of 5 now.

      Solidly built child seat that is extremely secure and my child (2 yo and 25 lbs), fits perfectly. I have the rack mount and I love the fit and I’m confident that my son is secure while we ride. The springs on the rear of the seat help reduce the impact of bumps and my son hasn’t complained about the rides we’ve taken so far. I will say that I wish the seat had a pocket or some storage on the rear like some other seats but this is still awesome. Lastly, it looks cool, so yes, I’d buy again if I needed too.

      I purchased the Caress rack mount model. Installation was simple.
      Customer service from Hamax was outstanding. Inquiry’s were promptly answered.
      The overall design and manufacturing of the seat are great. The only issue we have is the rubber covering for the top side of the shoulder harness. The rubber created a burn mark on our daughter’s neck where the rubber rubbed exposed skin. A shirt with a collar remedied the issue.
      Overall the seat was a good purchase.

      Great bike seat, my 1.5 yrs toddler is comfortable on it, and it looks amazing! The style is much better than other bike seats out there. I’m very happy with the seat belt, it’s easy to adjust so I can make it looser when putting on her (because she’s wearing a helmet) and then tighten it after I buckle her in, it’s great!
      The quality if the seat is superb, and we feel safe using it.

      Our 9 month old rides comfortably in this seat. We love having two brackets, as one is installed on each of our bikes so we can swap the seat out easily. We have had this seat one month and so far, we are extremely happy with it. We attached the seat to our beach cruisers with no issues. The recess for baby’s bike helmet is clever, as are the little foot rests. We love that our Hamax Caress will grow with our little one out to 40+ pounds. The seat is well-made, sturdy, with a luxurious feel.

      My son — and me and my wife — LOVE this child seat. I have been bringing my son to daycare on this since he was nine months old. We live in Manhattan (in New York City) and there are protected bike lanes in my neighborhood (East Village). We even used it on 90% of winter days (all days except when there was snow or rain). I bundled him up in a warm snow suit and he did great. He really enjoys the rides; bike is now one of his favorite words. I recommend the one that attaches directly to the bike post.

      I store my bike on my street, in front of my apartment building. I have been storing my bike outside for many years (with a big-NYC proof chain), but I was worried that this bike seat would get stolen. I have been storing it outside for nine months with no trouble at all. I purchased the rain cover, which is a must have if you are storing it outside.

      I wish I had purchased the neck support cushion. When he was nine to 14 months, he would fall asleep on the ride. The neck support would have been helpful during that early period. Now, he no longer falls asleep, so it is a non-issue.

      Love the seat! We are city bike riders and the seat allows us to adventure all over with ease. My daughter(13 months) loves going on bike rides and even falls asleep sometimes!
      My wish would be for hamax to incorporate some sort of sun umbrella to block the sun. My daughter has sensitive eyes and fair skin so an umbrella to shield the sun would be great but we love the seat otherwise. Sleek style and comfortable for Avery!

      We’ve owned our frame mounted Caress for a few months now, and so far we’ve found it to be easy to assemble. Attaches and detaches from the bike quickly (we take it off when transporting it on roadtrips). We’ve been using it with our daughter since she was 9 months old, and she’s always seemed relatively comfortable when riding at a low speed. With the proper balance I’m able to get her secured by myself as well.

      We love our seat! It is absolutely wonderful and the customer service could not be better. We couldn’t make ours work so I called customer service. They were so helpful and had me send photos of the seat on the bike. They knew exactly what I needed and shipped it out to me the very next day. We set it up and it has been my 2 year old daughters favorite place to be for about the past year. It leans back a bit too so your baby can rest. It locks into place for additional safety and is very sturdy. You should know that if you go over big bumps that the seat can bounce and if the bumps are really big if can bounce down and hit your tire. That is the only thing I have found that is not 100% excellent, but it would happen with any seat. I love it, my daughter loves it, and you will love it too!

      I love this bike seat! Not only does it have a sleek appearance, but it is also very functional and sturdy. I love that the base locks onto the bike so it cannot be stolen. The seat is easily removable, and I can twist the knob to lay my little one back if he falls asleep – without getting off of my bike. I would recommend and buy this product again and again.

      We (me and my daughter Madison) absolutely love this seat!! We have owned ours for about 2 years now and really enjoy our rides. It’s comfortable (see falls asleep sometimes) and most of all safe. We have had others and did not feel as confident as we do with the Hamax. Highly recommend!!
