Just a heads up re: carrying a small baby. Any bumps that are enough to shake their head are not good - make sure they can sit unsupported, holding their head up, before you put them anywhere near a bike. My son was 8 months I think, and even then trips were short.
This is CTC advice, not some bullshit 'always wear a helmet' government advice.

The plan for replacing the box is actually to put a little kiddie seat for my 3.5 month-old (and possibly her friend) until the mrs agrees she is old enough for the baby seat on the back of a normal two-wheeler.
brakes definitely need attention - not sure if I can be bothered with new tyres, as they are an annoying 24" size, and the current ones don't seem terrible.
Goes without saying that seat will be replaced, and most likely the seatpost as well, as it should really go further into the seat tube than it is currently. Wish I could get the stem out further, but its already quite long, and some other bars would be nice, but as you say, marginal gains...
