Default Child Seat

Looking for anyone that can give me directions on a child seat setup for a 2018 FatBoy. I've searched and found belts (via Google) but really looking seat a seat solution using my sissy bar maybe? My 7 year old wants to ride so bad but I know she would fall asleep and that makes me nervous. Anyone with Experience?

Being strapped to a motorcycle sounds like a bad idea. Can she reach the passenger pegs? Might just try some rides around the block.

There is no child seat on the market for a motorcycle if your passenger cant hold on or even fit in the seat they shouldn’t be riding. And strapping someone to the seat is a bad idea. Short rides until the passenger is grows up and is able to ride properly.

Have a look here > click

Here in Germany I saw a lot of Bikers driving on Country Roads with a child as passenger. Most on Japanese Super-Bikes or BMW's but never on the Autobahn and never on a Harley-Davidson.

Very good point didn't think of it that way. I have been riding sport bikes for the last 12 years but my child have never been old enough for me to even think about putting him on the back but now at the age of 9 on the Harley I was thinking that might be possible.

Short rides. And make sure she has a fitting helmet and knee pads elbow pads. And gear with body armor . Short rides only for awhile
used to take my daughter on many of them

There's also a buddy strap where she would be strapped to you not the motorcycle

Mhm, interesting, I do not think that is safety to travel with a kid on a motorbike. In general to be honest to be a biker or owner of a bike it is really dangerous, the risk of accidents is higher then traveling with a car and I think is not reasonable to put your kid life in danger. I am not sure where you can buy such seat but I know for sure where to buy Baby jogger Strollers , if you are interested in such things, then you should access the link and you will find really good products.
