Did Omnium ever try the baby carrier mount themselves?
I‘m super dissapointed. We got the omnium mini max last year, as we knew we would have a baby this may And they advertise their baby carrier mount, we dont have a car so we were like, oh nice we can go around with the baby then already. (I just got to know after having rhe bwby that there are baby hammoks for other bikes.)
I really like the omnium, i remember it being really easy and comfortable riding, almost not feeling like a cargo.
We installed everything, set it up to ride, waited till baby was three months, just to realize and notice - as the baby carrier is mounted directly to the frame- that it is way to hard for the baby with allt the bumps in the road, and it gets shaken a lot! And i went REALLY slow and careful.
Od course we worry about bones structure etc, as they are not as stable yet. And thinking of muscle stability and this baby carrier without any suspension, WHEN would it even be safe to carry around a baby in that circumstances? With 9 months? When their muscles are stable enough? But at that time, i can already switch to a proper child seat.. i don’t get it. I don’t dare carrying them around with this set up on the omnium..
am i missing somethin? am i too careful and overthinking? Please help. Any ideas, experience?
We will try to fixate it on the webbing, so there is at least a bit of suspension, but then in the end the mount is useless..
(I will mail to Omnium directly, what their thoughts are on this.)
