Bike Seat

Do you specifically want one that goes on the back? I didn't like the idea of not being able to see them, plus it does funny things to your centre of balance, so we got a weeride - we love it, very stable and seems much safer (check out the multimedia info on their website, there's an embedded YouTube vid of a Sunrise story about different types of bike seats). All bike seats are recommended for 12 months and older although the main thing is that they can hold their head up fine with the helmet on I was surprised at how expensive helmets are but if you have the right size it stays on well.

Might pay to ring ahead first - we found that none of the stockists near us (in either west auckland or north shore) actually had them in stock, although they could get them in. We got ours through embrace.co.nz. Yeah you do have to adjust slightly, your knees aren't way out but you can't go exactly up and down any more. (When you first start using it your knees are further out while you get used to it!) We're on a gravel road too so know what you mean
