It wouldn't be any dangerous if car and bike infrastructure was structurally separated (and if there were far fewer cars).
But they aren't.
That should be changed, shouldn't it?
Of course, but if my vehicle was the only vehicle in the world, I'd still feel like a 2 year old kid on the back of my bike going 7 miles is more dangerous than on a bus, train, or even a car over the same distance.
Fair enough, a seat on the back is the least safe option to transport kids.
There are options like this though. Seatbelts, low position, side walls.
I don't mind this too much, but I'd want more padding for the kid and an extra wheel in the back for stability.
