Default Help please Carrier

Hi there ,
Hope someone can help,
I am looking for a child/ carrier Seat to fit on my ride
( 1960s Moulton Deluxe) the thing is i dont want some sort of plastic
fantastic high back affair,
im looking for an old fashioned metal short back and fold flat version.
that way i can make the fold it flat for a good sprint on my own but still
ferry my 5 year old around.
Ive had a good look on the web but to no avail.

Any help would be GREATLY apreciated.

I think you will find those seats all went the way of the dinosaur
for safety reasons.

Quite a bit safer than 4 feet off the ground traveling 60 mph in a car.

I now have nearly 5 years of experience with all sorts of child
transport devices. One thing I have learned is that the rear mounted
carriers are really unpleasant to ride with -- stability and handling
of the bike are compromised -- and that is when the child is not
leaning or wiggling.

In contrast, a trailer has no effect upon bike handling. Except on a
hill, there is no ondication that it is there -- the bike feels
absolutely normal. Also, if you are travelling with a child you are
usually also carrying the stuff that goes with the child. This
includes bib, eating utensiles, and colorung books/crayons
(restaurant), books, lunchbox (school), or umbrella, chairs, blankets,
sunlotion (beach). The trailer is very good for this.
