Two teenagers charged over the death of a young mother who was knocked down by a mini-motorbike in the car park of a Melbourne shopping centre have had their bail extended.

Andrea Lehane, a 34-year-old nurse, was fatally injured when she was hit by the bike on September 23.

Her family switched off life support on Friday and donated her organs after she suffered "unsurvivable" brain damage in the crash at Carrum Downs shopping centre.

A 17-year-old Seaford boy and a 16-year-old Carrum Downs boy faced a children's court on Monday charged with a string of offences including reckless conduct endangering life, unlicensed riding and having an unregistered vehicle.

Their bail was extended until November and they are prohibited from going within 100 metres of the shopping centre.
