Hi there,
We are getting some bikes soon and wondered what seat you would recommend for my almost 3 year old.
I somehow feel a rear one is safer than a front seat (don't know why, just feels that way!), and as he is a very active child I don't think it will be that long before he has his own bike so I don't want to spend a fortune if I can help it.
Also, if anyone has tips on riding a bike with a toddler on the back (whilst controlling a 4 year on his own bike!) then please let me know,
TIA
