What is an "attached bicycle seat"?
An attached bicycle seat can either go in the front, where the child can sit on the crossbar, right in front of you. Almost between your legs and the adult has the handlebars. An attached bicycle seat there is a recipe for disaster. First of all, as the parent, how in the world can you steer the bicycle with a child sitting in your view? Also, how can you even see over the child to properly see where you're going? Plus the weight is distributed wrongly; you've got all your weight in the front part of the bike. So if you should hit the front brake to avoid an obstacle, the child will go flying head first into traffic. It is impossible to safely ride a bicycle with an attached bicycle seat in front. Now, the bonding experience doesn't exist because the child is probably holding on for dear life, and you as the parent are very nervous about riding with the child in the attached bicycle seat on the front part of the bicycle. So we don't recommend that. The other attached bicycle seat can attach to the back, over the back wheel. That throws the weight of the bicycle off. When you turn, if the child is not aware that you're turning and is leaning to the left and you're turning to the right, it can cause you to crash. Also, if you should be hit by a car, the child goes down in the attached bicycle seat, and the child goes down really hard. So it's really important to not use either one of those attached bicycle seats. If you want to enjoy cycling with your child, let them ride their own bicycle.
