In the new year I am possibly going to be faced with the problem of transporting a baby to nursery. I am wondering about the possibility of carrying him on my bicycle, a distance of perhaps 2->2.5 miles through moderate suburban traffic. For a while at least, I assume he will be too young (5 months or so) to use any kind of toddler seat. Are there any alternatives? And what would be the safety implications of carrying him in a sling or "backpack" such as I might use if walking? Please email responses, since I'm afraid I don't read this newsgroup regularly. Robert. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Inder HCRC, 2, Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh EH8 9LW Scotland

I don't really think that ANY form of having the child up on the bike with you is that safe. If you fall over, that's an awfully high fall for something that fragile. I know kids a fairly tough but the thought of a kid's head hitting the pavement after a four or five foot fall even with a helmet is not very pleasent. I should think trailers are more safe. But I'm sure SOMEONE out there has some stats on this. Charles -- Charles Ganzhorn E/Mail: ccganzhorn@mmm.com 3M IS&DP Network Services AT&T: +1 612 736 7122 St. Paul, MN FAX: +1 612 736 7689
