Need advice picking a child seat to attach to adult bike (is NQC around?)

[ChocolateSucksWithoutSugar]

The lovely people at the local council must have had some money left in their coffers at the end of the financial year, as they have laid a decent track on the bridleway opposite me (well, half of it so far ).

This means that I will be able to go for a bike ride without needing to tackle a huge hill on the way back home, so it's time to dust off the bike that I haven't used in years .

This of course means that I need to buy a child seat which attaches onto an adult bike, so that I can take dd (14 months) with me. So what do I need to look for when choosing one?

DH found this site which seems to have a good range. Cost isn't an issue at all, but obviously don't want to pay for a load of pointless features.

Currently liking either the AVENIR SNOOZE DELUXE, HAMAX SIESTA 07 (esp if this is the only make that we can get spare brackets for, so that it could also go on dh's bike), and for novelty value the TOPEAK BABYSITTER, but this is based on absolutely no knowledge of these things.

So can someone with more knowledge than me please advise?

I am in awe that you could take 2 children on a bike at the same time .. I find it tough enough with one

I've gone through phases of doing about four miles/day that way - mostly with DS1 on a half-bike and DS2 on the SafeHaven or WeeRide or whatever it's called this week.

Two on the same actual bike (no trailer bike) is a bit of a nightmare imo (without the mad dutch bike thing), although I do know people who do it. Getting on and off is quite tricky.
