Thank you all so much for your input so far. Sorry for my late reply, we were busy with a family do over the long weekend.

We are working very hard on that one, we would wish to think that he will grow up to be respectful and obedient.

@Andy
You have raised some very valid points, thanks so much for your input. A few of these issues have already crossed our minds aswell.

Our game plan is the following. Once he is older, we will start off with very short trips down to the shops or into town (4km away) and then gradually extend them to see how he's going.

My husband is a qualified motorcycle engineer who can also weld, grind and do all sorts of stuff <3

We haven't bought the ural yet (but we are researching and keeping an eye out for a suitable one) but already have a few ideas how to modify the sidecar:

1) Build a rollbar.

2) Depending on his age, we want to change the seat over. When he's still little we would install his car seat. For when he's older (and for the actual trip) we are thinking of a seat (maybe a racing seat?) with a 5 point harness in it.

3) For entertainment we were thinking of mounting an old ipad or portable dvd player or something similar into the sidecar so he can watch a movie if he wants to.

4) The sidecar will get a windscreen and will be closed over, maybe with a canvas roof and plastic side windows. No details here yet, other than that it will be closed over

5) My husband thought of some sort of heating. Maybe running a pipe from the engine to the footwell to heat the sidecar up by using the heat that's being produced by the eninge (obviously without leading the exhaust fumes into it )

tbc...

We would also like to use a three-way intercom so we can all communicate with each other.

Keep it coming!
