Rear Child seats are sturdy, high-back seats for older toddlers and young kids, like the Yepp Maxi or Urban Iki, which attach to the bike’s rear carrier via EasyFit window, clamp-on, or MIK HD mounts.
Junior Seats are rear-mounted seats like the Yepp Junior or Urban Iki Junior, designed for older kids (~5–10 years). These seats clamp onto your bike’s rear rack and offer lower back support, footpegs, and a sturdy seatbelt or lap strap.
