Childs bike seat or padded shorts?

[nickg]

My daughter has a scott junior mountain bike. We've done a couple of easy rides now but she says it hurts her bum. Like us all we just get used to it and maybe add some padded shorts and upgrade the seat.

I've not looked for stuff yet but was wondering what other parents have done for there children? Do you change the seat if so what for?

Padded shorts? If so what brands for kids?

She is almost 9or old.

Should I be looking at getting her a ladies saddle?

This bike was 2and hand. I've just felt the saddle and it's pretty hard to the touch.

Funkier do a good range of children's shorts from age 8-14 - well worth trying.

Saddles are personal and, as they grow older, what was fine may not be.
