Tern GSD Child Seat Setups

[@mdribblecastle]

Are there any practical or hacky ways to store the GSD vertically with the clubhouse extension bar on? Seems the answer on the tern site is no. That’s my current blocker for buying the bike, otherwise I’ll probably have to wait until my son is older so I can carry two kids and store and it vertically.

Nothing official, but we've seen hacks with people creating a riser block to match the extender bar height underneath the rear bumpers. If you go this route, we highly recommend looking for a way to secure the bike upright because trying this hack could make the bike very unstable.

Question/clarity required. It’s not clear why the Clubhouse+ doesn’t support 2 child seats, is it because there isn’t enough space to fit the two seats or is it because the Clubhouse Gen 3 has additional rails included for the ratchet seats to mount to? I’m looking at buying a second hand GSD Gen 2 and trying to understand why I can just use the Clubhouse+. Thanks

The Clubhouse+ supports two child seats if they are the Easyfit model, which Thule is discontinuing.

@@NoraMcCauley-z3e I just ordered a R14 Gen to with Clubhouse plus. (1 child). Why are they discontinuing the old seat without making its successor available? Are there any other child seat options available other than Thule? What are my options?

@@thebigoaktree8401 If you wait about a month, you can get the Tern Clubhouse Gen 3, which accommodates two of the Thule Nexxt Maxi instead. (Not clear why Thule is discontinuing their EasyFit seats.)
