Having owned both frames, in 62cm, I can vouch for the cc being more wangy . Unloaded , they ride very differently with the cc being a better ride, esp with drops or a forward facing position. However I sold the lht as it was quite dull , yes it might be better with the child seat on but, I managed with the cc as I knew it wasn't for ever plus I didn't always have the seat on anyway.
In short, unless your child is a behemoth, I'd stick with what you have. The cc is discontinued too so you'll be unlikely to get another.
Just my thoughts

Hello all.
I hope someone can help me with this.
I’ve got a cross check that I really love riding but I do not love it with a child seat on the back and I think maybe something like a long haul trucker would be better for now.
So I’m looking for a 58cm 700c LHT frame and fork - rim brake preferred so I can swap the CC components straight over. I’d be open to similar steel touring frames but would really like to be able to put my 24 pack rack on the front which is nice and simple with the surly fork.
I’d be carrying my toddler on the back in the child seat, and our supplies on the front and any essential sticks we find en route
Can collect from Bristol, South London, Kent, or anywhere in between! Hoping somebody has something I can use. Thanks!
Oh and if I do find something the cross check will be up for grabs of course.
