Recumbent with a child

[starhawk]

machew: I see, the curiosity of the drivers compromises the security! Well that haven't happened around here thankfully I haven't seen any incidents of that nature over here

I've seen the first two but you forgot three.
The driver tries to take a video/picture of you through the passenger's window.
That one gets real "fun" when they start to drift left towards you.

Stumbling back onto topic for a moment, I've taken my kids (presently 6 and 4) pretty much everywhere on recumbents since they were about 18 mths old. The most successful solutions were the trailer (lots of room for stuff you'd bung in a buggy, nice wide passes from cars) and the tandem (neither kid can reach the pedals, but they enjoy the ride). As above, the childseat solution is tricky as the COG is so high compared to the rider. That said, Ted has been known to do laps of the cul-de-sac perched on my rear rack without any issue.

I saw a photo today of a recumbent trike with a platform at the back that can take a child seat. Afraid I can't remember any more details but something should come up if you do a web search.

Anthrotech ?
(This is my 2 wheeled Flux V220 that fits a child seat directly on the rack: http://www.zoxed.eu/images/flux/Simon_Fiona_Flux_m.jpg (scan of v. old photo)
