child in sidecar

[AustraKiwi]

Hi there,

I am fairly new to this forum, and I hope I have selected the right branch for my question.

My husband and I are planning to ride from Europe towards Mongolia
(travel time somewhere around 5 or 6 months), route undecided as of yet, when our wee one is "old enough". He is only 10 months old now, so we may have to wait a little longer still . We were thinking of my husband taking him in a sidecar and me riding my own bike.

We were thinking that the last year before he starts school would be a good time, as it means that a) he will be old enough b) we wouldn't have the hassle of taking him out of school and c) it gives us time to save up

What do you guys think about a 5 year old in a sidecar to and through Mongolia? Would that work?

Do you know of any blogs of people that have travelled or are travelling with young-ish kids in sidecars.

Cheers
