He will be 3 in Oct. He might be ready for a tag along next year. How
hard is it to move one of those between bikes? He lives 40 miles away and

Hi Michael,
I'll second Eric on the front-mount seats. We love the Bobike
Mini+http://www.longleafbicycles.com/products/cycling-with-children/bobike-child-seats/bobike-mini/.
Longleaf Bicycles also sells the rear-mount Bobike Maxi+, although we have
no experience with it.

I use a burley trailer. I find it easier to get the kids in and out of
because it stays balanced no matter what. It really is not too noticeable
in your riding and it is just a small bracket that stays on your bike when
you are not using it. Plus if you add a grandkid you have room for a
+1 for a front seat like iBert until they are big enough to hold on in the
back (around 3), then no official seat is needed, but a wood platform on
the rear rack works great with stoker bars. Easy way to carry two on one
bike that way.
With abandon,
Patrick

I've used rear seats, which work well, even when the children fall asleep
as both of my children have often done. Trailers are fine, but I've
preferred having the children up high where they can see what I see as well
as talk more easily. I've got a nearly 5 yr old (who rides his own bike
I have had the co-pilot as well and it was very secure and was pretty
simple to move from bike to bike if you have a bit of mechanical knowledge.
My LBS steered us away from the seat in front due to control issues. I

I have and use a Yepp Mini Front seat. My 3-yo son is just about at the

John,
for the companion carrier, do you recommend a horizontal top tube, and
a relatively high one at that? The bike I have now that I'd mount it
on has a low, sloping top tube (http://www.flickr.com/photos/

You've got lots of opinions here already, but I'll say that I really
wasn't comfortable with the front child seat. It felt like it was
going to get in the way of my steering and manouevering, but then my

How tall is the clamp area with the BoBike Mini? I have a bike with
just a couple of spacers, and I wonder if that is enough room to
attach the clamp.
I hear the iBert safe-T-seat is good too, but I haven't tried it.
Anyone else tried the iBert?

I have used a Topeak child seat (rear) for several years on my
Atlantis and other bikes. It is affordable, a nice design, and you can
buy the rack separately if you want to be able to put the seat on
multiple bikes.
I believe in exposing my kids to a certain amount of risk, and I like

The AAoP provides generally helpful guidelines, but there are many
exceptions where good parental judgment is appropriate. Every family
is different.
The AAoP recommendation does seem to stem from the risk of the rider
