Just because they feel better loaded doesn't mean they're unrideable unloaded and after a few days you'll probably won't notice as shown by the people above.
Don't know about the dampener, I own an Omnium as i prefer how it rides, but understand why people wouldn't want one for child carryin duties.
Actually the omnium looks pretty good to me if it was just a child i had to carry , its just a shame that the child seat that can mounted has to point back towards the rider.
