I'm heading back to work soon at the end of my mat leave and want to get a bike seat for my 1 year old so I can drop him off at nursery (10 min walk from home) and then cycle on to work.
I've got a Trek hybrid bike with no pannier rack at the moment and very little free space on the seat post because I have the saddle positioned quite low.
What type of child bike seat would you recommend - front or rear and any particular models?
Also would it be worth getting a kick stand added to get him in the seat easier?
Thanks!
