re infant seat
Baby here yet? You'll have a month or two to work out the seat situation. Theres no good way to do it. I have a bullit and a toddler at the time I decided to make a seat for the infant so both kids had to fit in the box. Therefore couldn't just toss the car seat in the cargo box. took up too much space.
I got one of these. They are made out of the same foam helmets are made from.

the "mounting kits" are a joke so I made my own. I bought two 1/4 inch thick aluminum strips and bent them to the contour of the back of the seat. I fixed them to the seat with continuous adhesive velcro pads. At the top near the head I bent then aluminum strips downward to create two tabs to rest over the edge go the cargo box. Then under the butt of the seat I drilled a hole in each of the aluminum strips and fixed a 8 inch long 2x4 to them with counter sunk bolts. in the middle of the 2x4 I put a large bolt with a wing nut. I drilled a hole in the floor of the cargo box towards one side of the box.
To mount the seat I hook the tabs near the head of the child over the front edge of the box (child's faces backwards) and then insert the center bolt through the hole in the floor of the box. spin the wing-nut on
beneath the cargo box and good to go.
worked flawlessly for 15 months or so until he was sitting up right with enough strength for the bike.
It was the best, quickest most versatile system I've seen by a long shot.
