Bike Ride

I just started training for a triathlon I am doing in May.  I have to ride my bike a few times a week to get in shape and all I have is a bike stroller I can attach to my bike.  I can do it but it kind of adds a lot of weight! and its a little wider then my bike so sometimes if I'm not careful, the strollers wheel will go off the curb and pull my bike with it.   So I have been looking around at different bike seats for Carson to ride in.  I ended up buying this one by "Bell" 
I love it! it attaches right behind my seat and has little leg slots so he can't get his feet caught in the spokes of my back tire. It's called the "Cocoon" so it kind of cocoon's around him.  If I were to tip over for some reason then the sides would help protect him.  Carson loves it!  the first time we put him in he just starting making car noises (bbrrrooom!) like he was driving it. 
I got him a little helmet but for some reason the smallest they make is for 3+.  so it is a little big.  but works good.  We tested it out on Friday and went on an hour bike ride!  it is so easy to use.  It is a little different to balance, but much easier then the bike stroller. 

He was so comfortable by the time I got home he was asleep! he didn't look very comfortable but it was really cute!
