The rear seat is much less enjoyable for the child if it is pressed against the back of the cyclist or against his satchel. This seat to transport children from 9 to 22 kilos, ie up to 6-8 years.
Prefer removable seats to leave the crib. Parents, both equipped with the same mounting system, and can pick up the kids alternately. A good prop can get one then the other child.

A series of accessories such as belts and foot rests, must be adapted over time to measure the growth of the child.
3 different types of attachment exist:
• on the downtube of the frame: WARNING: you can not use the lowest position of your saddle and frames fitted with oval tubes fail to catch such seats baby! Moreover, because of the long tie, the seat is sometimes difficult to remove especially if the saddle is low and equipped with shock absorbers.
• clinging to the shrouds of the bicycle frame (see photo).
• hooked to existing rack your bike.
Should a safety belt or harness? Yes for young children up to 5-6 years. It is important to secure the child especially when it may fall asleep and to keep his foot goes in the rays of the bike. You will find headrests that allow babies to sleep.

When they are larger, there are seats easier to put on the rack with a single seat and footrest to be fixed on the bicycle frame. This type of seat usually has a folder lower.
As this type of child seat can support up to 35 kg, a good rack is required. This system is widely used in the Netherlands because it is simpler and that this type of seat can also install the saddlebags, which is useful to go shopping. But a trial will be necessary depending on the type of seat and saddlebags.
Safety issue, there are devices that allow to lock the seat-baby on the bike.
The seat to be placed on the horizontal bar (or oblique) frame (between the handlebars and the saddle) is also a solution for children between 3 and 6 years who already
know how to balance himself (must keep the child knows his feet on the foot-rests). This solution is less comfortable to ride, but it is the most compact device that exists.
This is possible as the driver is not affected in its pedaling by the child. If you have a steep hill to climb, it's less obvious. It is therefore reserved for short trips dishes.
With two children to carry, it is also more difficult. There are different versions (also for senior ladies), but this type of seat is no longer in the Belgian bicycle shops.

In general, when the baby is small and does not weigh too heavy, it is best to wear it in a prone position. You need a bike where the rider position is right.
When the baby grows, it is usually worn on the back. But we must think quickly to put in a baby seat before he will be too heavy.
Scarves can also carry the baby itself, but be aware the baby hang properly. Whatever the material used, it is best to drive carefully, choose quiet streets and have tested the material in advance on foot.

The trailer can also carry two children, but in town it is then difficult to squeeze between the cars to drive his children to the nursery or school. The trailer is obviously ideal for long trips for hiking and traveling.
The trailers are big advantages:
1 - The ability to take two children (most of the trailers available), or by installing a baby seat or a cozy kind max hull plus a few special effects in the back
2 - make a walk or ride more comfortable for children: toys, food, protective rain cover for the cold etc. ..

Moreover all the good models are rainproof and mosquito nets against insects and projections. A good trailer should be light (<12kg) and easily removable. Most of the coupling are left lateral, either with a clip to place on the bicycle frame (sometimes comes with a foot) or with an attachment placed directly on the axis of the rear wheel of the bicycle. With two attachments, one can leave the coach at the school. The cart is generally used for the walk this weekend, but more and more cyclists use them in Brussels to carry babies in the nursery. An additional foot to attach to the rear frame is also a good help to stabilize the bike and get the children out of the cart.
