Rhode Gear rack??? Either that, or a heavy blackburn rack. You don't want to risk your progeny's safety to some flimsy sino-junk rack, do you?

Almost sure Rode gear sells additional racks that come with the seat, for those of us with 2 bikes, but one baby.

It depends how old is the baby seat. I'm aware that a fe (many?) years ago, the Rhode Gear went onto a Rhode Gear rack. Those don't exist anymore.
However, recent ones (since at least 2000) fit on the Blackburn Expedition EX-1 rack which is still made. If you also plan to carry heavy loads around, the EX-2 is a bit sturdier, but Bell Sports stopped manufacturing it in 2001 or 2002. The baby seat is a very tight fit on the EX-2, but once it's installed, it's great.
If you don't have any rack, bring the seat to your LBS for a trial fit.

The child seats use the EX 1 by blackburn and the childseat is now called the Copilot Taxi or Limo.

D*Alex,
You are right. It is not worth it I went ahead and bought the Blackburn EX-1 and installed it. Had to cut off the front portion of the seat as it will getting into the brake wire, when installed the seat....
