My wife didn't trust herself to ride with the kid in the bobike mini (much better seat than the ibert btw).

My daughter absolutely loved it though. We had the optional windshield so she could even ride in the rain without getting wet. She rode in the cold, rain, on roads and dirt. This seat is probably the reason she wouldn't ride in the trailer. After sitting upfront on the bike, who would choose to get in an enclosed trailer?

The whole "seems safe" argument is weak. Statistically, the kid's most likely to die in the car, yet I doubt she thinks twice about putting him in there. My wife grew up with and irrational and overprotective mother and has the same tendencies. While I don't always choose to fight about it, I will not let it affect my choices, and am doing my best not to let it pass to another generation.
