This is a bad photo, but I wanted to post it anyway. What you're looking at is basically the Dutch equivalent of a minivan. A Mama and Papa are each have a kinder on their bicycle. Mom has the baby strapped to her chest, and the Dad has a little seat at the handlebars for the toddler. We see this everyday, every time we leave the house.
What happens if they have more kids, you ask? Well, as you can see, the Mom has room for one more on the back of her bike, as would the father. Sometimes you see two little seats – one in front of the other – which would be the solution for twins. And of course, children get their own bike as soon as possible. There are also variations of a wagon-like bicycle which are handy for transporting numerous children and animals.
And what about helmets you ask? Well, we're in Holland, my friends.
Helmets are for tourists.
