Def. outgrowing it. Also live in NYC. Bike everywhere w. all my kids. There is a store - The Hub Station in Tribeca-which carries bobike seats and cargo bikes as well. At least they did last year. Look them up. I wish there were more stores in NYC that carried bobike. Not sure why they don't. We LOVE ours. Happy cycling! We have the bobike maxi for our 4 yr old. Def. outgrowing it.

However, as my 50pound 6 year old gets bigger, I feel like a clown at the circus riding with my knees way out. lol. So I 've been trying to convince local bike shops to carry bobike- they haven't even heard of it. I see them on other parents bikes, however, and think $$ could be made if one were to import them..... Hi- so happy to see this post and commiserate-

We, however, chose to buy a trailer based on our pediatricians explanation of how rotational acceleration comes into play when a bike falls with a baby seat attached. If you go down on the bike, the child is much higher and hits the ground with much more force. He felt the risk was much lower with a trailer which will normally stay upright even if the bike falls. They are enclosed in a protective roll cage similar to what is used in auto racing. You present some compelling reasons to buy a child seat as opposed to a trailer.
