Great picture Patrick. And also nice to see the youngest member in our
community ;-)
Have fun,

Hi,
Just sending you a picture of an alternative way to cary a child on a
python. Our baby is just two months old but he definitely liked the
short trip around the village. As most people know, you'd better not put
a baby in a seat when he's under 6 months old. Though, a sling (green
cloth) gives excellent support and he was rather comfortable on my
belly. The Python (here my Pythonjet trike) is an excellent cycle for
this since -if you need- you have two hands free to support or hug your
baby. I think it is rather safe as well (safer than a seat imo), since
when I would fall of my bike I would hit my bottom first. And in case I
would crash into something, there is no steer that would obstruct and
harm the baby and you go legs and arms first (not your head or belly).
But above all, we really enjoyed the trip. We only went a few kilometers
to get him used to the feeling, but I am sure we will steadily increase
distance. He slept the first half. Then we had to make a pitstop (pee)
and he was awake. After that, he was just watching the landscape go by.
Enjoy your cycling trip,
Patrick
