Last summer when I was in Yosemite, I saw a child seat for a bicycle
that was actually a trailer connected to the back of the parent's
10-speed. It had 2 wheels on the ground, and followed along behind
the parent sort of in a wagon-like fashion. In it was two reclining 
un-crowded giggling toddlers enjoying their summer vacation.

My question is this..Has anyone out there used or seen one of these things
in use? Anyone know about how much it costs, how sturdy, and how SAFE it
is? My husband and I are considering getting one for our first born (Due
May 26th, the baby will be about 3 months old when we want to use it.) 
I am particularly interested in knowing if those experienced users 
recommend it for an infant or if we should leave the baby with grandma this
summer.

Thanks in advance for any replys.
