There is another way, when my wife got our 1^st Silver Cross Pram, it came with a fold down Buddy Seat, which clamped onto the Pram and when another kid was to be seated, you lift the backrest and push it back (was on a piano hinge) and straps held the back to the seat base. Had a seat belt too---those Brits think of everything.

Applying this to the Cruzbike, all you need is a hardshell seat with a hinged backrest.

Lay the back down on the rear wheel to get on/off, shift your body forward with both fit on the pavement, turn your upper body around and pull the back section up and lock it in place, possibly using a locking back brace. Using this, you can add a Head Rest (neck support).

Am trying to source a small light weight hydaulic ram, Joshua.

This would allow the seat to recline on the flats and to come upright
for city and hill riding. [:D] Operate via cable release to the
handlebars. You would also be able to lower the seat back to make it
easier to mount.

Will let you know how we go.

Regards,
John
