Seeking advice on child bike seat
Hi, everyone. We are doing things a little backwards here: We have not yet purchased neither a bike nor a child seat for a bike, but we know we want both. I've read that child seats can be pretty specific to the style of bike that you own and thus don't want to buy a bike that doesn't work well with a child seat or vice versa.
Does anyone have recommendations on a bike (preferably a road bike) that well accommodates a child seat? And then, a child seat that would work well with that particular bike? I hope I'm not asking for too much here. Thanks for any help!

I have 11 month old twins, so its too early for the seats (and probably too early for a trailer as well!), but the thing that worries me is the visibility of a trailer - especially from SUVs+. Do you ride with the trailer on busy roads (or would you only ride it on a bike path?
