In a different listserv a while back, I remember there being a conversation about the benefits of a seat on the bike vs. a trailer, and folks generally seemed to think that having a trailer was better for safety reasons, such as balance.

Not sure if this was discussed, but more and more i'm a fan of having the
child up front, in a seat on the top tube.  Asians and Europeans use this
method more often- almost non-existant in U.S.  Seems you have a more
intimate experience with your child.

...has some reviews of one model- and it lacks a few features but people
seem to like it.  Anyone have experience with this type of child seat?
