Has anyone ever used the Tubus Quick Release Rack Mounting Kit with a baby seat carrier ? Does it work ? Is it robust enough to carry up to 20kg ?
Thanks

    I have used it for touring, probably carrying 15-18kg, it seems rock solid. I can't see that it would be any less secure than using a braze on rack mount, indeed it would quite likely be better.

    Sorry, another question... does this only work on Tubus racks or would it be possible to use it on something like a Topeak Super Tourist ?

    I think it needs a Tubus rack (and only some models) because it needs a 2 bolt fixing. I would recommend the Tubus Cosmo or Logo - very strong racks (stainless steel / steel) with 10 yr warranty. Other racks may be bodged to fit, but in this situation I wouldn't go for a bodge, and a Tubus is going to be much stronger than a Tortec (good as they are, I have one as well as the Cosmo).
