Understood, we'd need to be able to swap between bikes easily too as alternate pick up & drop off. Best we start saving for a cargo bike here I reckon. #nicebutabitpricey

That's the easy bit. The Yepp maxi easy fit variation has a mounting plate for a rack, so you'd just need two of those. Taking it of involves un-clipping a strap and then pressing a red button while turning the fastener for about 5 turns, done. I always leave the seat at child care, and that was a bit of a concern as it seemed less easy as the mini, but in reality it's about the same in convenience.

It's not without drawbacks. That much weight on the back needs a heavy rack too, and the front feels twitchy and handling is weird-ish. Also my little girl keeps pulling down my undies, pulling at my chrome bag and surprises me with sudden shifts in balance. All the other people cannot immediately see you have a child on the back, so you're the ranting crazy cyclist, pulling up from behind and saying things like "Last warning, stop it right now or there's no more Peppa Pig" or "Shall we sing a song? What about ba ba blacksheep?"
