Baby child sear or bike trailer?
I love bicycling and now I have a baby. Noah is 8 months old and within the next month or so I'd like to take both bike and baby out and go for a ride.
Anyone have advice for me in regards to child seat for bike or bike trailer? Which one is better, safer? I'm only going to be bicycling on sidewalks and in parks with him on.
Thanks for you thoughts.

Use a bike trailer. Should you fall over or get hit there is less of a chance of your child being injured. Also, DO NOT start riding with him at 9 months old. The minimum age for a bike trailer or a bike seat is 12 months. He MUST be wearing a helmet as well. We are currently fitting our daughter for a bike helmet and have found that the Bell Infant helmets seem to fit the best:

They fit heads starting at 45 cm, which is the smallest helmet we could find so far!
We are using a Chariot Carrier, which we have had since our daughter was about 3 months old. We have been using it as a stroller and a jogging stroller this past year as it has many conversion kits. It is the safest bike trailer on the market and by far the best designed trailer. Check them out:

I personally like child bike seats.
i would say bike trailer. they are enclosed so that nothing can blow into their faces that way and also the wind cant take their breath away if it happens to blow directly in their face. also if you happen to fall from what i understand it shouldnt tip over and theres a less risk of them being hurt.
Personally, I think it much safer to do it with a bike trailer as if you happen to fall the baby won’t and they have the room to play with things inside their little tent like atmosphere.

I would do the bike trailer.I have a baby seat on my bike and its really hard for you to keep balance with the babies extra weight on the back of the weight.Plus with the bike trailer nothing will get in his face.
Neither the seats nor the trailers are recommended for children under 12 months.
Both have different safety pros and cons, but can only be used for children over 1.
