I definitely think that too few parents consider tandems/triplets for their
kids. I have a custom kidback built by the late Peter Johnson and my kids
rode them a lot when they were small. Here's what they looked like when
they were 4 and 7 riding in Switzerland:
I'm almost ready to get A Homer Hilsen and planning to use it as a baby
hauling bike.
Has anyone tried using the frame mounted child seat in the rear or the stem
mounted child seat?
I wonder if there's any concern with frame mounted seat compared to rack
mounted seat.

I started as soon as they could hold their head up to have a helmet on, so
typically about 5-6 months.

all four of my children.

Re: Helmets
Back when my son was about 2 yrs old, about 16 years ago, there were only
kids helmets that were pointy in front and pointy in back, so when he sat
in a trailer, his head would be forced forward and he couldn't rest his
head in the back. Understandably, he hated the helmet and one

agree, they don't change the handling and feel of the bike as much as a big

A trailer is the safest option. If you go that route I would consider a

age recommendation is to wait until 12-18 months but we certainly started

Hi Kushan,
Oh, I so know that excitement you feel about introducing your baby to
biking. It’s wonderful that you want to share it and it will be such a
bonding experience between the both of you as he grows up.
Is the plan to put him in a bike seat on your bike? Or in a cargo bike? In

I waited until my kiddo was 1 before putting her on the bike. Up until that
