DESCRIPTION
Meet the world’s first balance bike carrying backpack – helping your family get further into the forest.
Balance bikes are awesome, but hills and tired legs can ruin the fun.
The Uplift backpack is a mini mountain biker’s shuttle dream – letting your kid ride the bits they love and skip the bits they don’t. Lightning-fast to load up and comfortable from first lap to last, it keeps the mission rolling with less fuss and more froth.
*Does not include balance bike
With 2 movable bike mounts, the Uplift fits most major balance bike brands and sizes. So whatever your kid rides, the Uplift is ready to go.
Load up in under 30 seconds – meaning less fuss and more froth!
A rigid back panel spreads the bike's weight across padded contact points – comfy for all day rides.
A 20L pack carries snacks & spare clothes for big outings – or leave it at home and just take the bike.
Riding is thirsty work – and so is shuttling a toddler around. Carry a bladder, stay hydrated.

Mount, lock, ride – three steps and you're on the trails.
The Uplift has two adjustable bike mounts with nine position options. Fit them around the seat post and frame of your bike for a locked in, stable carry.
With quick bungee straps, your bike goes on and off in seconds – ready for whenever your little one is feeling shreddy
Secure, comfortable, and ready to hit the trails together.
A brilliant product especially when combined with the shotgun seat and an ebike. Simply a great way to open up more trails for your kid. You can take the kiddo to suitable trails to ride balance bikes and then let them rip on their own bike.
Also a great backup on trips starting from home. When the small dude or dudette gets tired you don’t have to carry both home. Stick the bike on your back and you have to hands to carry the child if needed.
I recently got the new Uplift Backpack, and I honestly wish I had discovered it sooner.
It has completely transformed my bike adventures with the twins.
Before, carrying a bike after one of the kids got tired was always a bit of a hassle. It was just uncomfortable and constantly shifting around. The handlebars would dig into my back, straps would get tangled etc etc. With the Uplift Backpack, all of that is gone. It takes just a few seconds to secure the balance bike, and everything feels stable. Once it’s on your back, carrying the bike feels super light and comfortable.
No loose straps flapping around or getting caught. It just works.
I can fully focus on the ride and the kids, instead of constantly adjusting or struggling with the bike on my back. I can absolutely recommend the Uplift Backpack. Honestly, I only wish Kids Ride Shotgun had come up with this idea much earlier! ;)
