Weeride or iBert safe-T-seat?

[eoconnor]

hi all,

i'm going back to work soon after the birth of my second baby. i need to get 2 young children (aged 2 and a half and 7 months) to daycare before cycling to work myself. i already have a seat for the back of the bike, and now need to get one for the front. i'm not keen on a trailer, as it'll take too long to unhook, fold etc, and i dont want to have to cycle to work with a trailer on the bike.

i live very close to the childcare facility, so i'll probably walk with the bike instead of cycling (i'm not confident enough to cycle with 2 of them).

my questions are:

1.can i walk with the bike comfortably using the the iBert safe-T-seat?
2. if so, is this seat better than the Weeride?
3. other than a double prop stand, is there any other solution to keep the bike safe and upright for the inevitable need to stop on the way?

any advice welcome, thank you!

eoconnor.

I don't have the ibert, but I have liked the weeride so far.

I understand you're not keen on a trailer, however I believe most of the recommendations you get from the other members will be for trailers particularly since you have 2 children. A lot of the others posts I have seen also do not recommend taking a baby in a seat or trailer until the child is 1 year or able to completely support his/her head. In my short time as a member, I notice the community is very safety conscious.

Currently, I am considering buying a Wike or Burley trailer for my son. I'm leaning towards the Wike right now, because it is very simple and quick to attach as well as fold for storage. They have short videos on their site demonstrating these tasks. http://www.wicycle.com

I was checking front-mount child seats, but I could tell I was not going to get much life out of them due to the size limitations. My son is just over 2 and rather tall. Given that and safety concerns, I have turned my attention towards trailers. Good luck!
