My daughter & I made our first trip to her school with the connector. It's 4 miles, and it was raining lightly, which was nice, until it started raining a little heavier. But we were almost there then.

I can't believe how well it went. I didn't forget anything. I had a change of clothes for both of us, I remembered her lock and her key. We never came apart the entire trip. 4 miles is a long enough trip, particularly through town with hills & traffic, that she is usually tired out, but she was still energetic to start the day. She enjoyed it too.

Taking her to school makes for a long morning ride for me (10 miles)--something I view as a bonus! I got pretty wet but that sure beats this heat we've had.

The only problem we had is when my husband picked her up from school in the car, both of them forgot to put the bike on the bike rack. So he had to go back this morning to retrieve the bike.

I wish I had a picture of my daughter & me with the connector. Particularly because this time we were both wearing helmets. We always do (for some values of "always"), the reason my husband & I weren't in that picture is because we were just toodling around the neighborhood a bit.
