It is a bit of a surprise to see the kid perched high in some sort of backpack on his father's back while on the bike. Even with the lower concern for safety in that era, how did anyone think that was a good idea?

No different today. I see parents with todlers in seats mounted on the back of the bike and even with a helmet there is a good chance of serious injury and permanent damage to the child with a bike crash of any sort.
