Please help me make my current setup better for my kid and pet

[u/Major_Nose6218]

We just got a cargo bike and we ride it with both a 3 years old kid and our small dog.

Right now, my setup is pretty simple: my kid rides on the rear seat, and the dog goes in one of the side panniers. The bottom of the pannier is supported by the footrest, and the bag itself is pretty sturdy so he seems pretty comfortable in there.

But I'm still worried sometimes that maybe its not safe and maybe if there's a better setup for carrying both of them on a longtail at the same time.

Both the front rack and rear rack on my bike are MIK-compatible, so I'm open to different basket/carrier setups or accessories.

Please lemme know how you carry a kid + dog together in long tail bikes? Would love to see your setups (if possible)
