Jessica,
I personally wouldn’t put my child into an old, cheap swing seat secured to a bad rear carrier with some rope rather randomly wrapped around to hold it in place… but some guy does. I even saw the same bike being ridden like that with a child in the seat and had my camera handy to snap a picture. It’s also on Flickr.

Is it safe compared to carrying a kid in a proper child seat? Certainly not. Is it truly dangerous? Well statistics say that cycling is very safe (especially in the netherlands) so perhaps not. I still find it amazingly stingy to not be willing to shell out the small amount for even a second hand child seat.

OMG…Is that safe enough to carry baby?…That’s just using rope….

I’ve come across some other, equally scary contraptions but just started carrying a digital camera. I’ll post more as I find them.

Now that’s a scary look! I -native Dutch mom living just south of Amsterdam- can’t believe it, but the picture is clear…
