Mark replied to Row-D's discussion Who will save the babies?"Front seats are great for kids mainly because you can have a great conversation with your child in that position But you do lose the added safety feature of having a very visible child on your bike in that cars seem to give you…"

"Who would unstrap the baby from her seat?

Si replied to Row-D's discussion Who will save the babies?"I'd be more concerned about safety riding a bike with a child seat than I would pushing a pram. Physics says prams (which are two or four wheeled) are more stable than bicycles. In fact, I bought a trailer for the same reason. Mind you I am…"
