I doubt it very much.

You need to see if you can attach a rear pannier rack (Blackburn EX1) to your bike. Do you have holes on the rear fork for a rack to attach to?

this childs seat fits on via a supplier rear pannier rack; full suspension mountain bikes do not have these, so the seat would not fit

Generally no. child seats like this fit onto the seat tube of the bike, and on a full suspension frame the seat tube is often interrupted or distorted in some way to accommodate the suspension.

There is no specific rules. This quote is taken from seat manual:
"Child must be old enough to sit upright without assistance.
Consult your pediatrician before carrying any child".

Hope this helps.

can you buy the rack and fittings separately as think that we can't remove the rack from my husband's bike and want to sell the seat ready to be used?

You can indeed.

My wife and I both have Blackburn EX1 rear racks attached to our bikes, (one came with the seat and the other was purchased with mounting screws for about £35).

We share the nursery collection / deposit duties for our daughter needed to be able to detach the seat for this reason.

The seats are a little tricky to remove but once you have done it a few times, you will get the knack I am sure.

I'm sorry the rack that comes with this child seat will not fit onto the bike with disc brakes.

answer 2
Unfortunately there will be a problem with that. Rack provided with the seat does not fit with disc brakes - it is not wide enough to fit over disc calipper. Also Fuji Taho Pro 2010 does not have bolts on the frame to hold the rack. There is a way round it - either a P-clips or a special seat clamp (see products attached).
Alternatively you can purchase different seat like Hamax - on the carrierbow frame or Topeak - which comes with disc specific rack but unfortunately out of stock at the moment.
Hope this helps.

Yes that should fit fine. The seat itself is attached via a rack (supplied with the seat) so will fit almost any bike that has rack mounting points on the frame which the Trek 7200 has.

Hello
i have one of these child seats and they are fantastic!
the seat slots into the top of the rack andare very secure itsa little tricky to explain so if you have a evans store located near to you i would advise calling in and they will be able to show you how its fits.

Hi, once the (included) Blackburn rack is fitted, the seat simply slides on and off (don't worry, there are safety catches!), no screws needed.

As long as the rack will fit your bike, it will be fine.

Ther rack supplied with this seat does not really fit to Pashley Poppy.
I strongly recomend to chose child seat made by Pashley. This is supplied with special rack that fits to Pashley bikes without compromising its strenght.
Please follow this link to find more about it:
http://www.pashley.co.uk/products/childseat-pletscher.html

Please pop into one of Evans branches to order this seat (it may take up to 14 days to get it as this is not an item normally stock by Evans).
Hope this helps.
