Brompton is absolutely a game changer for multimodal transportation if your not taking kids.
My wife and I both have bromptons, and I recently got this very secure, but inexpensive seat post child carrier that works with the brompton. The only problem is it screws on and I cannot lower my seat with it, so it interferes with thr fold a bit. I’m going to experiment with quick release seat post clamps on it, which I think should be quite secure (same company has a similar seat post, it just comes with QR seatpost clamps and is less available and more expensive)
My kids are 5, and Im not sure it’s on the horizon in the next few years. There are no answers here, but I have the same question and have been wondering about how others approach this.
I didn’t haven’t my first phone until 25, and it’s a different, much more connected world now, however.
