Would love to, but the flight cost from OZ would kill me :/
I used to have a yepp seat and back rack since a while ago, and was planning to move onto a tag along, as kid's just getting too heavy and big for it. However, I have gone off the idea for now, as there's heavy traffic roads we have to cross, and we had a few bike related mishaps with her. I desperately want to avoid a 4th lot of stitches on her chin, so I am looking for other options that will let me keep an eye on her, unlike a tag along. Also groceries etc, n+1, etc.
Right now what happens is an avoidable 4 minute drive, and that is just plain silly.
I've been trawling pictures on insta for examples of kids on Omniums

looked cool.
I'm thinking some kind of back rest foam block and an inner tube or re-used car seat belt wrapped around the hips, and we could be in business.
Been taught how to build wheels and keen to have another go. Also I've got a spare Ultegra groupset and a wolf tooth road link lying about. Omnium minimax with drop handle bars and massive XT cassette maybe?

If you want to come down to Bournemouth you can test ride ours at Velo Domestique or Harvey at Cycle PS just got one.
I would think you'd be fine, I've carried adults(+dogs) on my Minimax, Omnium don't make a specific child carrier but I know they have butchered kids trailers before and fitted them on.
Only thing with any Omnium is that the load is on top of the wheel so therefore the kid would be sat higher than a Bullitt but then Omniums are much easier to store/carry/steer.
Hope this helps
