What are my best options for carrying a 6yr old.on a Mini Max?

I'd like to buy the omnium backrest (£250!!) When it's in stock, could just throw a strap over kids legs to stop them falling out.

I'd rather avoid a dedicated seat if poss.

Some sort of belt/ harness that is tethered to the rack?

I carry a very tall 4 year old on my Mini Max on a Mac Ride top tube seat, but he also used to spend a lot of time in a big euro crate on the front.

I also have the Omnium backrest, which my 2 year old uses and 4 year old occasionally. The backrest is good but for a big kid the Mac Ride is more comfortable and fun for them on longer trips, particularly on a Mini Max (versus Cargo) where the headset protrudes halfway along the rack so you have to be careful with where you put it.

Depends on bike fit as to whether your knees would knock them though, I’m tall and don’t really notice him there.

Thanks for the info. I defo want to carry on the rack not the top tube. How far back could you mount the backrest of its facing forwards?

Can you take the feet off the Macride so he can put his on the rack? My nearly 4yo has outgrown his Bulldog seat now (width-wise), but he used the rack as foot rest, it worked really well.
