Q. I just got a toddler carrier installed on my mountain bike but I can't find a helmet for kids as small as her.
The smallest ones they have at walmart are for three year olds.

How do child carrier seats attach to bikes?
Q. I've never messed with a toddler carrier seat, but I may have need of it soon. I have three bikes, but the one I think best suited to a child carrier is my Global Carmel which is a nice 3 speed I'm going to call it a townie, but it really describes a proper definition.

I'm looking for one of the standard mount behind the rider setups, not a trailer to drag. That bike has lots of braze-ons that I think are meant for rear racks and some for fenders I guess that I don't use. Does anyone have recommendations or at least a solid "Yeah one should work on your goofy bike because?"
(My other two bikes are a 24" and 26" BMX so I'm leaving those out of this for now)
(defies a proper definition, doh!)

Answer
You'll need a rear rack - and a rear rack strong enough to bolt on a child's seat. Check with your local bike shop.
However...if you were to go to my local bike shop, the owner would talk you out of it. He has a good phrase for so-called "Child Safety Seats". His term is "Post Natal Abortion". I don't like them, never have, never will. The bike becomes top heavy, prone to falling over, with your child strapped in & no way to escape. Tow behind trailers are MUCH safer - period.
