Choosing the Best Child Seats for the Maven: A Comprehensive Guide
Top brands like Thule offer a range of options, from frame mounts to rack mounts and even MIK-compatible models. But which of these options work best with the Maven?
This guide covers the seats that seamlessly integrate with the Maven as well as some popular models that won’t work with our unique design. Read on to make an informed choice and hit the road with confidence!
Natively Compatible Seats
Thule Yepp Maxi Rack Mount
Our top choice by far, the Thule Yepp Maxi Rack Mount is designed for effortless installation and a secure, stable fit. The Maven is engineered specifically to integrate with this seat, allowing for a quick setup without the need for additional adapters. Its sturdy metal locking mechanism adds durability and strength, especially compared to newer plastic models.
This first-generation design has earned a loyal following for its reliability and fun array of vibrant color options that brighten up family rides. Though it’s an older model and can be harder to find, Rad Power Bikes maintains a steady stock, making it accessible for those who value both safety and style.
Ferla Universal Child Seat
For a more budget-friendly option, the Ferla Universal Child Seat is a great choice that also offers easy installation and reliable security. While it may not have all the premium touches of the Thule Yepp Maxi, it offers impressive comfort and security for a universal model.
The 3-point harness is comfortable and holds your child safely, so they likely won’t notice any difference if switching from a high-end model.
Seats That Are Not Compatible with the Maven
While the Maven was built to accommodate a variety of child seats, there are some models that won’t work due to the unique rear rack design. For safety reasons, it’s important not to attempt fitting these incompatible seats onto the Maven, as doing so could compromise both stability and security for your child.
