We took in a foster child last week and need to figure out how to get him on the bike with the rest of the family. I am thinking a bucket of some type - one in front of her rather than behind her. I don't think I want to put him on the ground in one of those carriers mainly because of the areas we ride are cramped (lots of signs and street poles in the middle of our sidewalks - I feel really bad for people in wheelchairs).

Being a "nice" bike, I know that the rear carrier we used to have wouldn't work because it clamped onto the quick release seatpost bolt.

Anyone found a system/style of bike carrier they like for getting a kid on their "nicer" bike?
