Child Seat or Trailer on a Folding Bike - Possible?
Hi,
My wife and I are looking to buy two 20" Dahon folders (not sure between the D7 or P8's)
Does anyone know if I can hitch a child trailer to the 20" Dahon's and ride securely with the child?
I'm guessing it wouldn't be the same as riding with a full size bike.
Also, has anyone tried putting a child seat on the bike even though it's not recommended by most professionals?
thanks - doody

I have a Downtube, not a Dahon, but the principle's the same.... I'm pretty sure it would pull a trailer safely, but I don't see myself putting a child seat on it (well, I couldn't on mine anyway, because of the rear suspension). Even if you could figure out a way to attach it, you'd screw up the foldability, and the consequences of failure are pretty great.
