HAMAX Caress W / Carrier Adapter - with trunk mount
The beauty of this chair is that it can be mounted on a bike of any size - there would be a rear trunk. Otherwise, it is no different from other models: it has the same “carrying capacity” of 22 kg and a number of adjustments that allow the seat to adjust to the growing rider.
