I started both our kids out when they were pretty young (3 & 4 YOs) with a kiddie adapter set up on the back. The range of ages those devices (there are the crank adapter and crank shorteners if you go the whole nine yards)are able to handle to handle is pretty amazing. With young kids you always worry if they're going to get bored, fall asleep and fall off, but, it never did happen, although for young kids they sit so (relatively) high up that any speed over ~10 mph down a hill is uncomfortably fast for them. If you can afford it it's a good way to go. My kids are old enough to ride on the back "normally" now, so I have an adapter set sitting around somewhere. PM me if interested, or if you have add'l questions about setting it up.
