All I know is when I was a kid… those little rear wheel bike seat attachments for small kids / toddlers were popular. ( where they sit on top of the wheel )

Now?

It seems like the most batshit insane idea ever. It’s on par with letting a toddler sit up front on a bench seat with no seat belt back in the 60s.

You may be talking about the ones that are hitched on like a bike trailer though.. but even one of those in the city… fuck that. And fuck that especially if the bike rider isn’t following the rules of the road.

It's perfectly safe to ride around with a kid on a bike seat as long as they're secured and have a helmet on. Obviously you need to stick to low-speed roads, preferably with protected lanes, and follow the rules of the road.
