I really like that inline chadster has but my kiddo has graduated to the trail a bike. I really like that as she can help move us along now.

Her old trailer is being converted to a cargo hauler.

I had a rear mount seat...NEVER again! The front mount seat is WAY better and safer especially when loading. The rear mounts it is a real trick to load a kid and then get on the bike. The rear mount also makes the bike handle like hell.

The front rider once they are walking it is very easy to straddle the bike and lift them and load them and loading was always where I had my fear of the bike falling with the rear mount. As for a crash....as a parent I would be wrapping my body around my kid on the front mount as we go down. Not even an option on a rear. The weight distribution is also better making the bike handle better.

I do not know where our country went rear mounts almost exclusively. When you look at other country's most small children are in front mounts.
