Recommendations
Important to note: The following recommendations are for you to acquire on your own and have installed by a professional.
Specialized
The Specialized Vado and Como comes with a MIK HD rack designed to handle extra weight up to 60 lbs. A compatible option would be the Thule Yepp 2 Maxi MIK HD Rack-Mount Child Bike Seat. You can conveniently order the Thule Yepp 2 Maxi MIK HD Rack-Mount Child Bike Seat at your local REI shop.
Child seats can mount to the standard rear rack included on the Globe Haul ST and LT. While Specialized hasn’t tested all seats for compatibility, three models that should be compatible are Thule Yepp Nexxt, Burly Dash, and Polisport Bubbly.
*LT rear racks have been updated to 176 lbs (80kg) max weight capacity
*ST rear racks have been updated to 132 lbs (60kg) max weight capacity

For the Momentum PakYak E+, we recommend you get the Thule Yepp Maxi Easyfit. It be pre ordered at any REI or Sports Basement locations.
The Momentum website also offers a great PakYak passenger accessories bundle.
All other models with non-MIK HD Rack
