Just a quick update for everyone. I mounted an Ursus Jumbo Double Leg Kickstand on the Mixte and so far it works extremely well.
I've also ordered the Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat (for rack), which arrives tomorrow, and am looking forward to it. The only bummer is that he isn't as close to me as I would like... it's so nice when we are right up in the cockpit viewing the world together. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The reason I went with the Hamax Caress Rear Child Bike Seat is because: 1) It is more traditional looking -- I think traffic respects people with child seats and want to provide the most well-known example to drivers. 2) In the event of a fall, it provides more coverage - protecting precious cargo. The Yepp Minis look as though the passenger is more vulnerable. 3) It was amongst the most highly rated; and one reputable website with experienced real-world riders placed it above the Yepp. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Are there other logistics I should be aware of? Do I need to get a pool noodle and secure it to the bike seat to ensure cars give me 3 feet? Also, thank you all for the generous offers to send me stuff and also for the wonderful guidance. As the little one matures, I am looking forward to going on more adventures together. So far, he loves riding with me on the bicycle. I think it's his favorite thing to do :) Amit On Monday, October 7, 2019 at 7:56:39 PM UTC-7, Coal Bee Rye Anne wrote: > > I haven’t transitioned to a rear child seat yet and still have some use > left in our Yepp mini front.
