Maybe I should one on each of my dogs!

We call 'um "danger butt". Though when possible, we mount them to the bike rather than the kid.

With abandon,

Patrick

I can't even count how many times people laugh at us as we go by...

Better they laugh at you than not see you! Why would anyone laugh at visibility enhancement? On kids? Amazing. 

With abandon,

Of course, Liesel's idea was really good, too.

Our danger butts came in handy in well shadowed deep forest single track when I was descending behind my daughter and she was going a bit slower than other riders on the Monarch Crest. No rear ending on blind corners happened.

I like those triangles.

But I feel safer with a reflective vest.
Level of reflective strips and bright colors are up higher, surface area bigger, and people in front as well as back can see it.
I don't know if a vest is better for safety or not. I just feel more comfortable with a vest.

Of course. I have a bad track record. I got hit by a car last year. Perhaps a triangle would have been better!

[William]

Conspicuity is like security.  If in doubt, add more.  Vest or triangle?  BOTH!

[Christopher Chen]

I have a different approach.

I use a safety vest, but instead of wearing it, I wrap it around my tent and strap the whole "Tootsie Roll of DON'T HIT ME" onto the top of my saddlesack.

Leah,

I run one permanently off the back of my rack, a rider friend of mine commented that it ruins the look of my bike! Oh well I'd rather be seen and not hit. When touring I run bright yellow panniers that have reflective strips. Photo's prove it.

And Doug's triangle use.

Notice he has not only one center but on the traffic side as well.

I was going to say, the only time I have been hit by a car, I was wearing a safety vest.  I wear the triangle all the time though, even on fast club rides in groups of 10 or 12.
