Abstract
An adult tricycle is provided comprised of a standard conventional adult tricycle and a double occupancy child seat connected with the operator's portion of the vehicle. In this configuration a child or children would be able to sit in a safe environment behind the operator's seat. The child's seat includes a padded seat with seat belts, and an enclosed front, sides, and back, in order to prevent accidental entanglement between the passengers and any of the moving parts. With the seating area being part of the operator portion of the tricycle, as opposed to a trailer-style, the tricycle achieves much greater stability and security for both operator and passengers.
