I am not an expert as I don't have children. But, I think once they can support their head and sit upright without struggle (roughly 12-18 months) that they'd be good to go. This also depends on finding a helmet that would fit and can be supported by the newborn/infant. I've seen a few kids go down but they're remarkable ... wait until you see them go down the ski slopes without poles

Not a political comment here, but we usually get 10-18 months leave per child, so usually when the mother goes back to work, they can usually go to work/daycare on the bike.

Feel free to show you're colleague that he/she is clueless.
