He is secured with a short enough connection on his harness that he can't move more than a few inches (i.e., enough to scoot around and be comfortable). So I can check periodically by turning around to look at him, but even if I can't see him I know he is not going anywhere.

My main concern with the front basket setup is what would happen in the event the front wheel gets locked up. Even at a slow speed the basket would be the first part of the bike to make contact with the ground and would take the brunt of the impact. About the only way he could be injured in the rear, I'd imagine, is if there was enough force to flip the entire bike. If that happened, his position would be the least of our worries.
