I've been reviewing some of the options for commuting your kid around (bike seat, trailers, mid tails, long tails, etc) and am having a hard time determining the best option. My daughter is 45lbs and is at or approaching the limit of most bike seats. Is the easy option of a bike seat the way to go? Or will commuting a kid at the max weight of a seat be too cumbersome (and short term)? Are the other options a better choice here?
Note I don't currently own a bike so all choices will involve a purchase of some kind...
