I get your point about 7 hrs, although struggle to see how my 4 year old wouldn't die of boredom after 7 hrs in the saddle 
How is the LOCT different from the leco? I take mine off road on the weeride and the leco but only on mildly bumpy stuff, how far can you go really?
Have a search for Safe-T-Seat. Little-un loves it. Very quick to install/uninstall. I've had no trouble whatsoever when riding with it. Used on daiy commute without incident for 9 months or so.
I looked at that one along with the yepp ones I don't like handlebar mounted ones ..
If only I could give up work and spend the rest of my days taking the kids off on picnics and trips to The Turf Locks

the loct consists of the seat and stirrups (adjustable to the height of child) and the bar that connects to the seatpost and steerer stem. The child is not strapped in or fixed to the seat - and the stirrups have a solid / fixed footrest with rubber loops - these are as ive said adjustable and are a lot lower than the downtube which gives a much more natural riding position.
how far can you go - id quite happily do anything other than jumps - when I pre ride cross country courses my son quite often comes with me, dependig on what youthink ofthe olympic course weve ridden most of that (using onyl one of he getout routes), the alps.. At the end of the day if he thinks Im going too fast he'll tell me and ill slow down - but he's normally tellnig me to speed up so he ca nput his racing eyes on...(long story involving lighning mcqueen!)
Its also taught my son how a bike handles, I quite often find him now leaning into corners ahead of them and standing up on drops and bumpy decents, in fact at the end of our local ride I let him steer and change gears and brake on one of hte open parts (off road) - althoguh we generally end up going round in a big circle half a dozen times...
BD that sounds great.
FWIW I bought a middle/front mounted child seat called a Weeride Kangaroo.
+ the baby/child loves it as can see everything as you ride along
+ the baby/child is between your arms and you can see what they are doing
- I find it a little hard to pedal and needed to point legs at a different angle to normal
- the baby/child can get quite cold
MikeD - dont want to sell that LOCT do you??
'fraid not, kids are 5 and 2 so we'll have a use for it for a few years yet
