Modern child seats are very safe. The one we use has straps and surrounds the child and protects them in case of a fall. They wear a helmet too. We also use pull behind carts. They are designed to not tip over in an accident.
In 30 years of lots of family biking we have never had a problem. In European countries is is perfectly normal to carry children on bike handlebars and racks and such. I think we get a bit too worried these days!
