Hi, I'm new to the site and have for a long time been wanting a Dutch style bike to pootle around on. I really like the look of the Batavus Diva's and have seen a bargain but I can't find any info on if a child seat can be put on the back. Does anyone know if they can be put on the back rack of the Diva 3?
Child seats and Dutch bikes?

At 20kg, it's over 1kg lighter than a Pashley Princess, although about 4kg heavier than I'd expect a Dutch bike to be. A child in a seat could be about that heavy, though. Getting any bike uphill carrying a child would be a struggle if the gears aren't set low enough.
Thanks very much for your replies. I don't mind about the issue of going up hill on it as its not very hilly where I live and if I do encounter one I'm not worried about walking up it if needed. I'm also considering a diva 7 especially as I don't have great knees and am a bit worried I'll be putting too much strain on them with only 3 gears to choose from. Maybe I am mad for even considering cycling but I really want to give it a go as I used to love riding.
