Thanks for the reply.
Since posting I ordered a shotgun seat only to find out it isn't compatible with the frame I have. I have built up a Dad bike for a bit of fun with an old Raleigh frame and loads of bits out of the parts bin and didn't really appreciate how much distance there was between the top and down tube untill the seat turned up and will only fit with the nose of the saddle touching the stem.
Looking at the bike now its all in one piece I can't believe I didn't see it earlier. (see pic)
Instead I have gone a similar route and gone for a Nexxt Maxi and some overly heavy and may soon regret dutch pannier. (Both yet to arrive). So will see how they fit and how we get on.

I just saw this.
I really liked the Dolittle seat. My son will be 5 in November, and was fine on the seat. I think because he rides his own bike and was on a balance bike, he was fine on there... on that note, I’m not sure how he would’ve gone on there when he was younger. They are also between your arms, so you have some control over them.
The only reason I’ve stopped using it is because I have a rack mounted Yepp Maxi because I want to go for longer rides with him. He starts getting restless on there after about 30 minutes. I’d like to put it on another bike though.
