Idk how a Helios rides, but a couple of things I've noticed:
- Helios is shorter than a thorn kiddy back (235-240cm vs 211cm).
- lots of Thorn's have multiple pedal drillings in the cranks to help with shorter legs. No idea if that matters with a 7yo.
- Thorns look like they have clearance for bigger tyres.
- pannier set up on the Helioses (Helioi?) I've seen tends to be neater. But then lots of Thorns don't look like the racks have been installed very considerately - 700c on a 26", etc. so I think you could improve on that.
Also there's a tandem thread if you want some informed opinions rather than someone who's been daydreaming solutions for 5yrs.

Thanks again, as someone who spends a lot of time daydreaming solutions, I'm very grateful for the material!

IKWYM about racks on thorn tandems, that one with the swytch looks unusable.

I'll head back to the tandem thread for more inspiration...
