topeak child bike seat rack(rear brakes model) does this rack allow for the child seat to be adjusted backwards away from the bike seat??

Very slightly. The rack itself has slots so you can properly set up the rack to be level to the ground, but there is no actual adjustment to move it away from the saddle/post. Both my wife's and my mountain bike saddles/posts are very close to the grab bar of the kid seat. A lot of this has to do with your bike's geometry...

It only fits the specific Topeak rack that is suggested to buy with it. The rack has a rail that the basket slides into and then clips in at the end as well in order to make it extra stable. Actually one of my favorite features, because it not only keeps it stable, but it is also easy to take on and off as needed.

rack is attached to stem of seat. It is not going anyhere. But I do not go mountain biking so I can't say for sure, but I don't think it would move.

The special rack has a hole that the lock button can bounce up and secure the seat. The standard rack lacks this, so if the yellow lock slips out, the seat could detach and send your kid flying. I really like my kid, so I think the extra $ is worth getting the real rack.

The rack slides in the rail and has a quick release. It should clear your seat, but check with your bike shop for measurement.

Hi GP, thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, our "Fork Base Unit" can't be mounted over the top of most rear racks.Regards, Bike Balance

not sure, but the rack part you can adjust it to be farther back, but not sure if that would put more strain on the seat post.

Yes. IN fact that is why I bought it. The child bike trailer I have was pushing the kids head forward and the Burley allows him to sit up straight. The size recommendations are confusing. My son is 13 months, and will be able to use it for at least 10 to 12 more months.

This is adult bike, on mine I have a child seat streapt to the back. So I could take strols around park with my doughter.

I suspect not because it uses 3 point triangular attachment, top front, top rear and lower center. The lower center securement point is where you'll have the problem. It's designed for the racks that connect to the bike frame at the rear axle area.

We had an issue with the bike only going in reverse. We had to take the seat off and check the wiring, it was loose. I would suggest doing the same. I eventually sold the 2 I bought for $5 at a garage sale. The back wheel never stayed on. Worst money I ever spent. Good luck and I hope your child does enjoy their toy.

I have had this basket for several years and haven't found a rear rack (my own bike, borrows, or rentals) that it won't fit on. Also the handles are semi pliable, so I assume if you did find one that is oddly shaped, you could make the necessary adjustment.

It will not fit ALL kid's bikes. There is a minimum distance for this to work on child's bike. Back of bike's seat post to the front of the handlebar stem must be a minimum of 18" in order to hold securely

Sherry, no the handle bars do not adjust towards the seat. They only adjust up or down. I'm 5"2 and love this bike. It works well for me and I use it 4-5 times a week for almost 1 year now.

Yes the seat is adjustable, but I drilled two holes to make it a little lower than normal - The handlebars wil adjust forward and backward, this seems to work well --Happy overall with the product -

yes, it attaches to the seat post stem, so you can still have a rack on your bike. I do on mine as well.

no. this rack will not fit a bike with rear suspension. it bolts to the seat stays up by the seat and down by the axle which won't allow suspension movement. you will probably need a seatpost mounted rack such as: Ibera Bicycle Seatpost-mounted Commuter Carrier IB-RA1
