This spring I got myself a German-built Bulldog child seat - mounted on the top tube. It's such a super nice setup: My 18 months old daughter can't get enough of bike riding these days.
After ten years of transporting our kids in bike trailers, this is the first time I have a child seat on the bike itself.
Wish I found this one before.
It's just *so* nice having her almost on my lap like this, being able to touch her and talk to her while riding. This can of course not replace a trailer - which is the number one choice for taking small kids out - but for short and easy cruising around the neighbourhood, it's a winner.
Of course, it requires a bit more of a John Wayne-ish stance of my knees to clear the seat while pedalling - but I adapted to that one in a matter of minutes.
I bought this of a friend who imported a few, but don't know where to find the manufacturer online, if they are online at all.
Anyway, the German store Stilrad seems to have this in stock.
