This may be the wrong thread since the demographics for this site suggests there are not alot of mountain bikers with kids.
I love to mountain bike, but with a 19 mos old daughter my husband and I either have to ride the trails alone while the other watches the baby or do road roads pulling her behind us on a pull behind. When we were mountain biking in Boulder, Colorada we saw a guy take his infant on a very, very technical trail with his son in some kind of one wheel pull behind with a roll bar and the kid had a five point harness and of course a helmet. (Found out the guy was an engineer and this was a home made contraption). Has anyone else seen or came up with creative ways to mountain bike with a small child ? (Too small for tandem...yet)
