Looks like a great time! Was gonna ask what helmet you were wearing because it looks nicely vented......eventually realized you wear a Giro Remedy
just like me! 
Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

yep nice helmet! but if and when I start getting into the higher speeds, I will probably upgrade to a motorcycle helmet 
my pb 40mph is probably already pushing it.

Awesome! What a cool thing to do.
I'm hoping to get my 10 yr old daughter in the driver's seat this winter on a small PLbug with skis.

Just go ahead and get a good one for everyone that is begging for roll time. It's inevitable. I made the leap to 2 nice buggies and it wasn't going
to be right till both boys had nice secure buggies. No complaints now.

LOL! yeah Pops just before we took off for the first time she said she was scared.... we started rolling about 10mph and she asked how fast we were
going, I laughed and said about 10...we just started , she thought we were going
much faster. after a bit we were doing around 30 and she was loving it! I had some other kids there as well and I did get to give them a short ride
but Tyler was the buggy hog

I used a soft stadium seat like this one http://www.wellpromo.com/upload/upimg63/Folding-Stadium-Seat... and straped it to the extra buckles in the back of my buggybags.co.uk seat and the
rear buggybags axle bag supports it. I plan to upgrade the back rest straps to a heavier strap and buckle.

I must add that if you plan to put a passenger on that this will change a few things...how you stop for one, in this video you will notice that when
the kite folded on me I put my foot down to slow and turn into the kite rather than kicking the back end around to stop. I put my foot at risk rather
than possibly ejecting my passenger. so I am sure there are safer ways to achieve this. so what I'm saying is "use your heads"

Thanks for those pictures. I've been planning something very similar, but was thinking of adding some padding at the back so it doesn't slope
backwards so severely.
My little boy is 5 and he loves to ride on the back, just like that but without the seat. I put some thick foam in my buggybag and he just holds on
for dear life.
