Child Bike Trailers



Do you like taking your bicycle out for a spin? Then bike trailers, or child bike carriers, are a wonderful way to include your child in this activity. And it’s even better when the trailer or carrier can double as a stroller! You can bicycle somewhere, park and walk somewhere else, while your child stays safe and comfortable.

Some models (like my double model) have lots of storage space in the back to hold supplies for long outings. One summer, when my daughter was a year old and we were vacationing by the ocean, we used to pack up a picnic lunch, towels and sand toys and cycle or walk to the beach. I used it around my neighborhood for outings to the park or walks with my twin boys.

AdvantagesDisadvantages

*Child bike trailers are not recommended for children under 1 year of age.
