[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 1412073, member: 1075"] I'd have to agree it's not a good idea. However, I believe it be safer for the child to be sitting in front of you instead of behind. Eons ago, I met a guy that rode with his son. (Oddly on a Bonneville ;) ) He had attached footpegs to the frame under the gas tank, and fashioned a rail that wrapped around the top of the tank for something the young boy could hold onto (like a tiny set of handlebars for him) The kid looked pretty comfortable there. His thinking, which echos mine, is if the bike goes down, he could wrap his arms around his son to shield him better from impact than leaving him on his own sitting behind him. I think this at least would be safer for the child. A "child seat" on the back would trap the child to the bike, not a good thing. [/QUOTE]
