Hi Brian, I'll second the Yepp Mini Front Seat. The long top tube of Clem would be great for front seats. (I had Yepp Mini on my Hunqapillar.) Yepp Mini has easy on/off with anti-theft lock, if that's important to you.
Having a baby or toddler up front is great for interacting: You can see what your child is doing, point out things on the road/trail, more easily talk and listen to your child. Easy to wrap them in a blanket, watch them nap, hand them a snack, etc. It's been a few years since my kids were the right size for a front seat. Those were great miles. https://flic.kr/p/CovJqA Good luck! shoji Arlington MA On Friday, March 30, 2018 at 11:41:34 AM UTC-4, David B wrote: > > I've used the Yepp Mini and currently using the Yepp Maxi Easyfit with a > specific rack that has an Easyfit window.
