Cargo Bikes

Definitely can, and probably will a little bit later. Sometimes the tinkering to find the obvious is the fun piece.

Your bike looks great, one of my favourites.

Have also done this with a heavy cargo strap. Works a treat.

cool, i thought they were prob cooking something up for themselves as they wern't reposting any of the Damgood.bike cargo hinge piccys (afai saw anyway).

The amount of cargo bike stuff here at eurobike is nuts.

Quite fancy a Lax

Send some pics of the new Muli stuff please! Their social media is too elusive..

This is a conventional Hamax Caress, mounted backwards on the steering post. The caress reclines by 20 degrees

That’s what I did on mine originally. It was great!

Another good one for rear facing when they’re small is the Melia Toddler seat. It straps down and has its own seatbelts 👍

What age did you lot start your child off on your cargo bike, and what sort of seat did you use?

6 months, car seat.

6 months, one of the melia 6 month+ can't remember exactly which one there's a few and it was black.

Did you just strap it down? What bike was it?

Same question @Gewürzt?

Bullitt with a wooden box, I bolted it to the box by screwing through the seat.

Ratchet straps, Bullitt

3 months, car seat with spring suspended mounting frame.
Bullit

Three weeks! Gavin is a framebuilder and made an amazing custom Isofix bracket for our spanky Joie car seat to work in a Bullitt. Never had a problem at all and when we had some sleepless nights, a quick night ride, all bundled up, would send our bubba to sleep.

Interesting! I have an omnium mini-max and have been telling myself that I need to wait until she is 5 months old before I can even consider doing it. Maybe I am wrong!

I need to work out how to get the car seat on to the bike safely and do some trial runs, but maybe it is time!

The Mini-Max is a little bumpier than the Cargo. I waited a bit (12 months IIRC) then just strapped the stroller top on the rack with a couple of innertubes, it's a but bulkier than a car seat, but it meant I could use rain cover and winter inserts. One of my colleagues started younger on his MM, car seat, strapped.

Did they put a solid base down like the child seat mount or strap tight on top of the webbing?

The few of us who went down that route used the webbing. It provides a little bit of suspension and friction.

Not sure if its new but they had these on the stand.

legend, thanks! looks cool..

that LAX bike is sweet as well!

What's the recco on fat 20" tyres? Ideally the colour of an old school BMX tyre....

What do you mean by old school bmx, the tyres were skinny compared to today's standard.

My recommendation will be something wide (2.3 + if you have the clearance) with a file/knurled finish and some grooves.
