Replace broken plastic buckles with D rings to avoid having to re-stitch to fit new buckles/having to buy special repair buckles.

Wasn't keen to pay 150-200 for safety bars on the back of our Kona Ute (like Tern's "monkey bars"), so I opted for a hack from 2 cheap BMX risers and 2 curtain rails.
I cut kerfs in the steel bars at the point I wanted them to bend and then inserted the 25mm curtain rails (ID was only slightly larger than the BMX bar OD). Then attached the bars to the Ute's rack with some Spinaci extenders in the back (not the bars you grip, but the part that attaches them to the drops). In the front it's attached with the U-bolt set from a trail-gator we're no longer using.
Planning to add some other safety/comfort bits and another secure attachment point in the front, but it has done a successful trial run around the corner. Next up will be a cushion and seat back for the last person in the back (currently using the yepp Maxi with 2-yo as the rear backstop but not that happy with how it attaches to the deck).
Total spend: £18.11 + parts bin
Total time: 1-2 hours
Total hackiness: 8/10

Hacking a safety feature for my kids wouldn't be my idea of fun but each to their own I guess.

Wonderful.

I think I'd want something to put feet on or keep them away from the wheel.

Yeah folding runner boards for mount/dismount + foot protection from the wheel is also on the list of forthcoming upgrades. Without the yepp Maxi though, they can just put their feet in the massive side panniers.

Not really anything but saving a trip to the e-store, but I needed a bit of grip on my glasses and didn’t have anything made for the purpose, but I did have cable doughnuts.

I have no kids, but I do have a pretty good knowledge of materials, bicycle construction and in particular how they fail.

It’s forecast to piss it down tomorrow so I’ve put the guards back on, but the rear flap was toast. So in true Blue Peter fashion I whipped up a new one.
Enter one empty flash floor cleaner and a pair of scissors. Rough, but it’ll do the job for now.
