CHILD SEATS, TRAILERS, AND TRAILER BIKES<\/h2>\n

While some parents curtail their cycling once kids come along, more and more of us carry on regardless, thanks to the evolution of kiddy-carrying options \u2013 child seats, trailers and trailer bikes.<\/p>\n

CHILD SEATS<\/h2>\n

The kids\u2019 seat is the most popular and often the least expensive means of carrying a child on a bike. Age range is from around one to four or five years old. A safety harness comes as standard so you can be sure your young\u2019un stays securely seated.<\/p>\n

For example\u2026<\/p>\n

KIDS\u2019 TRAILER<\/h2>\n

A trailer enables you to cycle with one\u00a0 or two <\/strong> \u00a0youngsters. As with child seats, the trailer\u2019s age range is around one to five years old, and safety harnesses ensure the kids stay put in transit.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s only natural to feel cautious about mixing it in traffic with your kids, you\u2019ll discover that a trailer gives you so much presence; overtaking traffic tends to give you a wider berth, so you actually feel safer when you ride with a trailer in tow.<\/p>\n

Most kids love getting around in a trailer. It becomes their mobile gang hut with a \u2018my own wee world\u2019 appeal, similar to playing in a tent.<\/p>\n

For example\u2026<\/p>\n

TRAILER BIKE<\/h2>\n

A trailer bike is the best option when kids get to four or five years old and begin to outgrow childseats and trailers.<\/p>\n

A trailer bike is an ingenious add-on that converts your adult bike into a child-toting tandem, so your youngster (up to eight or nine years old) can pedal along with you. Or freewheel and leave you to pedal. (Isn\u2019t it great to have a pilot up front.)<\/p>\n

Perhaps best of all, there\u2019s the added bonus that a trailer bike offers a controlled introduction to that most valuable life skill \u2013 cycling safely in traffic.<\/p>\n

For example\u2026<\/p>\n
