Question about bike seat for toddler-Front carrier or Rear carrier?

I'm an experienced biker but I've never used a child seat carrier. I'm a 5'6 tall, 120-pound lady...and I'm pretty athletic ...but still worried about being able to do this safely. My daughter is 19 months and weighs 23 pounds. Should I get a front carrier or rear? I don't mean the trailers..but a carrier that sits just behind my bike seat or the one that sits near the handle bars?

I like the idea of the rear carrier more but I have heard the front carriers are easier? Can anyone offer advice on this? Any recommendations on brand or helpful tips overall?

My bike is an older mountain bike.

Thank you in advance!
