Question about Schwinn child seat ???

[Spooky7640]

Can anyone give me some info on this child seat that I found many years ago? What year? What bike did or could it go on?

1970s maybe late 1960s. Adjustable to most any bike. Very dangerious to use and I wouldn't put a child in one. Make it a shelf collectable and do not use it. Roger

I had one on a beater, used as a rack. It would hold a full paper grocery bag!

I'm thinking that's a 50's vintage. In the 60's they were chromed round tubing. More stylish but less padding.

70s, campus green wasnt around in the 50s. Had a few of these, always came on 70s 3 speeds. The Schwinn stamped logo is also 70s era script.

Thank you I've always wondered.

Been painted with green rattle can paint. I can't believe that was being sold in the 70's. Maybe at yard sales.

Further investigation. Here's the 71 version. How sweet is that?
