Hi, I have a 9-month old who sits up unassisted, crawls and stands with assistance. I'd like to do some biking with him and wonder if anyone can share their experience /knowledge with me. I saw one guy who had a toddler on some kind of contraption on the crossbar of his bike somehow. Anyone know what this was and where to get it? I've not yet seen helmets for under 2 year olds. Anyone know about helmets for toddlers? Anyone have "expert" opinion on whether it'd be better for a toddler to ride the crossbar on some contraption as described above or ride in one of those little baby trailers? If you have experience/knowledge, you can email me at natalie_wilson_98 @ yahoo.com. Thanks!
