Share what you know about kids and bike seats?

Karen H

PARENTS. Do you prefer the bike seat that attaches to the bike behind the rider? Or the wagon that sits on the ground behind the bike? What age would you start bringing your kid with you bike-riding? Where did you get your equipment? Do they make helmets for little kids?

My daughter is one year old, and I'm wondering if I can start to take her bike-riding with me, and what is the best equipment to use.

Answer
This response is based on experience of both articles...as our children got older and could sustain the wind and the riding in an upright position for long periods of time we used the bike seat theory...when they were smaller and not as strong we used the wagon behind the bike...it's also going to depend on how you can handle the distribution of the extra weight directly on the bike...also on the are as to where you live...suburbia...both methods work well..city I definitely would use the seat behind the bike...but that is just me..

I saw on the street a kids bike attached to an adult's bike with a sort of a tag along pipe kind of a thing. Does anybody know where to buy it or what it is called

Answer
There are two different types. One is called a Tag A Long that is made to attach to the seat post of an adult bike and the other is a boom type device that lifts the front wheel of the childs bike off the ground. The tag a long is a much better design.
