JomoMum Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 DS will be 1 after Christmas and we’d love to get a bike seat for DH to put on his bike. What would you recommend?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Bicycle Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Honestly I would go for a bike trailer. More support and protection for their heads ( because it can be hard to find a helmet that fits) and if the bike goes down, the trailer diesn't flip, plus they don't need a helmet as they are in a roll cage, with a 5 point harness. Please however don't go for a cheap one. Look for a quality brand like Croozee or Thule ( formerly Chariot). If new is not an option, buy second hand.

Check your states laws on bike helmets as they need a helmet in Qld even in a trailer.https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/safety/rules/wheeled-devices/bicycle#bicycle-trailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Vic and have a Chariot/ Thule with an infant support attachment. It included an extra padding on the seat for body support plus a winged headrest around bub's head. The head rest made it impossible to use a helmet as it would push the baby's head forward onto their chest, restricting their breathing. The Chariot's harness is a padded u shape that goes over the head and then clips to 3 other straps. Obviously rules cannot take into account every type of device design, but in my case using a helmet was more dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
