Hi

I would like to attach my childs bike to the back of my bike, however I also will have my youngest on seat on the bike (attached via my seat post).

Does anyone have any recommendations, or has anyone had any experience of this product

We used a tag a long, we were not able to fix it to a bike with a child seat on. The one you are looking at is very different tho.
Have you thought about a bike trailer
suitable for 2 children?

We have a trail gator but you can't use it with a rear mounted child seat.

No reason why you couldn't fit a front child seat, but to be honest, I'd be a bit worried about all that weight and the stability issue.

The big problem/issue with mounting a full child's bike on the back (as oppose to a tagalong) is the length - they come up really long.

Whereabouts are you riding?

thanks mollymax & theyoungvisiter, perhaps I am trying to do to much and should keep it simple! Really wanted to take them both out to local parks but once we get there (to parks away from busy roads) be able to let eldest ride on her own. Could always have her ride on pavements i guess but thought it might be a bit tiring!

thanks for your input though.
