Rear Bench Seat for Big Kids, Adults, and Cargo
The Tern Captain’s Chair (Gen 2) turns the rear rack of your cargo or utility bike into a comfortable bench for big kids and adults, or a sturdy cradle for crates and boxes. A wide padded seat, reclined backrest, and long side rails give passengers a secure, supported place to sit on everyday rides.
When you are not carrying people, just pop off the cushion and drop in a crate or box, using the side rails and rear bar to strap everything down. It is a compact way to get real passenger comfort and serious carrying options out of the same rear rack.
Carry More, Ride Better
- Extra-wide seat pad and reclined backrest for a cozier, more supported riding position.
- Longer side rails act as armrests and handholds while helping keep hands safely inboard.
- Additional rear bar offers mounting space for a bag, basket, or extra rear lights.
- Pairs with Sidekick Joyride Bars or Sidekick Bars to create a full “cabin” with back and side handholds.
- Seat cushion removes to make room for a crate or box when paired with the Sidekick Joyride Bars.
- Two bottle mounts built into the frame for water bottles, coffee mugs, or a folding lock.
- Strong aluminum construction stands up to daily family use and heavy grocery runs.
