I'm totally unsatisfied with the search in the US! :(Angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-9163783678152408532012-03-09T12:34:03.709-05:002012-03-09T12:34:03.709-05:00We live in a small New Mexican town where sidewalk...We live in a small New Mexican town where sidewalks are rare and stickers abound.

Please reread the instructions on the Nutcase website for more info, but in short the helmet should come just above his brow ridge. Wearing the helmet as you have it on your son and yourself, exposes your forehead and that is actually wear you need the most protection. I applaud you for putting a helmet on your son, I see so many who don't, but the way he is wearing it in the photos is pretty much like him wearing no helmet at all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-39947393716601933332012-01-20T09:19:14.884-05:002012-01-20T09:19:14.884-05:00This blog have very interesting information for us...This blog have very interesting information for us.

Bike everywhere - Have had kids in front, in back - some of the first kids in Amsterdam with mandatory helmut policy (mine). When my second was born I bought a "bakfiets" which is translated: a box bike - It has a box in front that seats 4 (and for a while a baby car seat and 2 kids) and a seat on the back for a bigger kid. So all in all - a bicycle built for 6 that I power with my own legs. I can also get a weeks worth of groceries in there! but can still take it out for a long bike ride! Love my bike!!!! Great to see you biking in NYC!Lianne Bergeronhttp://www.liannesquickguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-88486454837411002962011-10-24T11:45:20.343-04:002011-10-24T11:45:20.343-04:00Those photos are really adorable.

Say I'm dropping them off at daycare. I can't take them there on my bike, so we go in the car, but I actually leave my car in the daycare parking lot, and then ride to work on my <a href="http://www.montaguebikes.com" title="Montague Folding Bikes" rel="nofollow">folding bike</a>. It fits right in my trunk, and it's so easy to just unfold and ride. So while I'm still driving with the kids, I'm still getting in a good bit of riding, saving money and the planet, and my kids see me riding, so hopefully it's something they'll want to do too, when they're a little older.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13180322956429047153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-34689478008912181812011-10-24T01:51:18.291-04:002011-10-24T01:51:18.291-04:00what happy photos! thank you for your awesome and ...what happy photos! thank you for your awesome and inspiring blog.. i cant wait to have kids <3jonahlizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471944343634126894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-55045071579235774982011-10-23T15:46:14.142-04:002011-10-23T15:46:14.142-04:00My fav topic, I have the Bobike seat too but I fin...My fav topic, I have the Bobike seat too but I find it challenging to get on the bike, I cannot wear jeans with back pockets.

But luckily I brought the seat in the house. Good to hear you like the front seat. I kind of wanted one too, but none of the bike shops in the east bay stock them...

Reading some of the comments I would like to let you know that riding a bike with your child is not dangerous and especially with a front seat it's a great experience. Being (another) Dutchie I can know. I have a 5-year old and a 7-year old and I used a Bobike mini and maxi and i was very pleased with them. You can actually attach a small lock to it so they can't take it out. My children now ride their own bikes to school but I can still transport them on my bike with a special saddle on the front of the bike. So enjoy cycling with your child: it's a lot better for them to be on a bike than in the back seat of a car!simonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-70370042085861815522011-10-18T16:54:47.495-04:002011-10-18T16:54:47.495-04:00i cannot believe how much he has grown since that ...i cannot believe how much he has grown since that 'first ride' photo! unbelievable! i'd love to know what he's thinking on those bike rides...it really must feel like a rollercoaster, i've never thought of it that way!Jenni Austria Germanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04300480531614136453noreply@blogger.com
