Cycling with babies

Great photo huh?

So there has been rather a lot of debate, of the heated variety, about whether Country Bebe should get a seat on the back of my bike.

We have a National Trust owned parkland that runs for 1.5 miles along by the river, linking our house to the English Channel. It has a designated cycle path and I’m desperate for CB and I to whizz through the beautiful grounds to the sea (and his favourite playpark). With the buggy it’s an hour round trip, on a bike 20mins. No brainer as far as I’m concerned.

However, The OH is anxious for his safety. Of course he’ll be strapped into a harness and be wearing a helmet but still. The worry is there.

So, are any of you experienced parent-child cyclists? Any tips? Good seats/bad seats?

We’d love to hear.
