Omnium kid transporter attachment.
I've ridden an omnium cargo with a person and their bike sat on the front a few times, the load seems high up when you first try it and sometimes when you slow down but once you're rolling it's easy.
Omnium have an e version with Steps e8000 which wouldn't brake the bank (£3850)
or the eBullitt e6000 is currently on 10% sale at some stockists (including us at Velo Domestique)
plus if you happen to run a company/sole trader/partnership etc then you could be eligible for this eCargo bike grant so could claim a further 20% back. We've helped customers do this and get an e6000 Bullitt for around £3300
Inbox me if you'd like more info/help

I'm not sure about putting kids on an Omnium. The center of gravity seems a bit high.
I'll want my wife to ride it, and our 3 year old weighs >20kg, so the torque difference between a high load platform and a low bucket could make a difference.
I hate the way they look but the Babboe is £1,700 and looks pretty practical.
I feel like if I'm going to break the budget I might as well go big and get what I really want (a STEPS Urban Arrow or Bullitt - although parking one of those outside in London would probably be a stupid mistake).
