I havent done this, but a lot of people do. Bike Radar family cycling forum has many converts to front seats and full "on the road packages are starting to appear in the uk now":<BR/><BR/>http://www.dutchbike.co.uk/Family2.htm<BR/><BR/><BR/>-2 on the back. There are certain bikes with extended rear ends that take 2 kids. In the US they use the xtracycle. In Europe its trickier. I;ve seen plenty of photos but not seen a manufacturer. They are common in holland<BR/><BR/>-Long Bikes. These are specialist long bikes that take more than one person. Many of these cease to be bike shaped, one of the best i've seen is the "8 freight".<BR/><BR/>I'm planning a few posts on this subject sometime soon...Heres a sneak preview just to make you jealous: <BR/>http://longwalktogreen.blogspot.com/2008/07/american-moederfiets-mother-bike.htmlCycledadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743646385437170465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892073431700403328.post-43015944393668928892008-11-09T23:02:00.000-08:002008-11-09T23:02:00.000-08:00Hello CycleDadGood blog, very useful - have you co...Hello CycleDad<BR/>Good blog, very useful - have you come across anyway or anyone that has managed to get two kids (3 and 11 months)on a bike, for the nursery run, but not using a trailer? My problem is I would have to wait in traffic if I used a trailer, might as well use the car!. I've been toying with the idea of just adding the I-Bert safety seat to the handlebars; wondering how stable this would be. Any info you've come across would be great.

Early on we considered a Chariot but felt the seat would be best for us in the end. As winter approaches again, it will be interesting whether Mike will be persuaded to try the trailer... PS 9 months is a great age! Your daughter will learn so fast in the next 9months. Get every cuddle you can now, cos quite soon she'll be her own person!Cycledadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743646385437170465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892073431700403328.post-44226770161932317102008-10-17T00:48:00.000-07:002008-10-17T00:48:00.000-07:00Hi CycleDad, Just wanted to say hello, and that I ...Hi CycleDad, Just wanted to say hello, and that I find your blog an interesting read. I've got a 9 month old daughter, and I want her to grow up with cycling as a part of her life (well, lets face it, we haven't got a car so it's going to be!) She's just started nursery and we're getting her there and back in her Chariot which she loves. Not had any problems with traffic so far as we try to avoid rush-hour, and a lot of the route is along a traffic free cycle route. Will be interested to hear how you get on with your trailer.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17530821285744834982noreply@blogger.com
