We finally broke down and bought a new iBert bike seat to replace our old Bell that we used for Parker. We had been planning on trying to wait a few more months to get Levi out on the bike with us, but we miss bike riding so much and the days have been so long and sunny that we just couldn't wait anymore. He is a big, strong baby, and has great head/neck control, and Parker's old helmet fits him just fine. He is also plenty happy to sit on the bike all buckled in to his seat. Jared takes it super easy with him on his bike, riding slow and being extra conscious not to romp over too many bumps. Levi's head really doesn't seem to bob around much at all, so I feel confident that nice gentle rides on sidewalks are fine with him now. We took our first family ride down at the harbor a few evenings ago, with Parker on his own bike with training wheels. He rides plenty fast, in fact sometimes he gets too far away from us and we have to make sure he waits up and is being safe and alert. Levi just sits perfectly still and content in his seat on the front of Jared's bike, holding on and watching the world go by. Can't wait to go for a family ride down along Mission Bay soon--probably this weekend.
