I have a bike trailer for my two babies but I don't know how is best to keep my 14week old safest. A helmet won't fit until at least 18 months and her car seat won't fit in with my 2 year old as well :0( Don't want to be stuck in a stuffy, hot car all summer so would really like to keep fit and take them out on the bike! Help!! Thanks in advance :0)

Answer
The infant in the car seat cannot ride with the toddler -- so just get a bicycle child seat http://www.amazon.com/Bell-Classic-Bicycle-Child-Carrier/dp/B000ISXSSA for the toddler -- kid will be much happier being up there behind you and watching around the road. Also should be available at Target, locally.

I have a 4month old son and would like to get a seat or a trailer for my bike. what is better a trailer or seat, and what are some good models?
thank you!
Thanks for the answers so far! I guess i should have mentioned i am not looking to put him in it yet (i didn't even get the bike for myself yet) i am more so just looking to do the research and get the helpful advice from all of you.

Answer
You do not want to take an infant that young on a bike or trailer. They are not strong enough to hold their head up let alone wear a helmet. Wait until they are at least a year old. A trailer is safer then a carrier, they won't tip over if you go down. Until then you should keep you eye out for a Chariot or Burley. They are expensive but a used one is much cheaper and they hold their value longer then the cheaper brands.
