Bikes: 1995? Giant Iguana

Been thinking about the safest way to bike transport an infant, and one of those cargo bikes (bakfiets or long john) with the bin low to the ground or a trailer with an infant carrier/car seat or equivalent secured in it seems like it would be the safest way. I know lots of people use the Topeak type seats and don't worry about the safety, but lots of people do lots of things.

I then went and searched for some articles to see how infants could be carried safely. Both that I found were fairly negative on it citing the bouncing not being good for them no matter how they were secured.

I realize you can't avoid doing everything out of fear, but it appears to be a legitimate risk benefit analysis.

I agree with RubeRad though, bravo to you for your efforts.
