I posted a bit back asking if anyone knew of a good trailer or bike seat to fit a full suss bike. I got some good advice but i still can't find anything online. The bike is a Santa Cruz Heckler and my daughter is 8 months with great neck strength. I would love to get one before the weather gets too grim. Cheers.

Get a trailer - MUCH better for stability, carrying stuff and especially wet weather, as she can be sealed in.

Had a trailer that clamped to the chainstay which was, well, sort of okay on a full sus, but I'm afraid I can't remember the make - I'll have a look in the garage tonight.

Rear mount seat I would say is a non-starter, front seat might work (not tried)?

Rear mounted seats are rubbish IMO, mid mounted are excellent. Weeride for littluns, and in the meantime keep an eye out for a [url= http://www.loct.co.uk/ ]LOCT [/url]for when she gets older.

I've got a seat where your child sits between your arms and the seat connects to the down tube and kind of rest on the top tube... Great for full suss and imho more secure then the seats that sit over the rear.

Picked it up from decathlon is was cheap as chips about 15 quid and served me very well before number two came along and I got a trailer
