Speaking of furniture, we also bought two seats today for our little bundle of joy. They’re not in the house, though. No, these are for our Pack Max and 995 bikes from the Fietsfabriek.
With summer now well on the way and Eloïse now large and strong enough to cope with the rigours of a real seat, this will give us an element of freedom we haven’t enjoyed before. For example, Sarah will now be able to bike with Eloïse without requiring me to be present. She doesn’t feel comfortable with the 995, a.k.a. a bakfiets, so the child seat on the Pack Max will allow her to carry Eloïse using a bike to which she has grown accustomed.
On other occasions, we’ll still use the 995, but now we no longer have to place a child’s car-seat in the trough. Instead, we have a proper bicycle seat affixed to the bench. The only disadvantage of this system is that it will be much harder for Eloïse to sleep whilst being biked around, but we’re just going to have to see how that works out in practice.
We are new bakfiets owners (the long model) and expectant parents in Richmond, Indiana.
I’m wondering if you attach the car seat to the bakfiets, or just set it in the box.
