[net.bicycle] Infant seat.

joel@dicomed.UUCP (Joel D. Neisen) (03/14/85)

I would like to obtain people's opinions of bicycle infant seats.
I am a recreational rider (no clubs, races, etc.) and average ~ 50 miles
per week during the summer, but I would like the opportunity to
take a my kid with me.  Some of the criteria I am looking for

	Safety - most important feature.
	Protection of the legs (from spokes) and the whole body
	(esp. the face) from sand, pebbles, etc.

	ease of install/removal  I have a Blackburn rear rack
	and don't wish to remove it.  Also, I would prefer to be
	able to  quickly remove the seat when I solo.

Thanks for your help.

Most important, the child should have a helmet.  Hard
shells are available in children's sizes.  For obvious
reasons, it is most important to protect the head in
case of fall or collision.  I think they get a kick out
of wearing them, too.
