Is it safe for a toddler to ride on the back of bicycle? Won't my toddler get hurt if I crash by accident?

I plan on both of us using helmets but accidents do happen. Those little carts that a bicycle pulls aren't very safe either , are they?
My toddler is only 14 months old. Getting a little bike is not an option. :-(.I also would be riding along side my son who is almost 5 years old.
The side car seems like an option :-)

Answer
There is always a risk of injury on a bicycle. The carts more safe than the bicycle seats, since the child has less space to fall if you tip over. Trailers that go in the back can be dangerous, since they have a low profile and are not easily seen by motorists.

My chiropractor is into cycling and just did a 600 mile run with his wife and two boys this past summer. They use a side car for the above reasons.

Would this electric scooter be sidewalk and bike-trail legal?

Q. I'm considering to buy this specific scooter for a commute around Anchorage, AK: http://www.amazon.com/Currie-Technologies-eZip-Electric-Scooter/dp/B008JP1DOA/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t This is a pretty low profile scooter, but it still has an electric motor. I'm pretty sure that because of the local practice, nobody should give me trouble for riding it around on the sidewalks, especially when I wear my helmet. But is there somewhere I can find the electric scooter laws for Anchorage, AK online? I've been Googling it, but can't find anything. Give me your opinion, or the upfront law regarding my little issue. Thanks!

Answer
Laws do very greatly from state to state for motorized bicycles as far as bike paths and lanes go. But most all states don't allow you to ride on sidewalks.
