In today’s economy, many families are struggling to find things that they can do together such as riding bicycles. If you have small children this may not be possible unless you have a baby bicycle trailer or a bike trailer of some type. These are literally trailers that attach to the frame of an adult bicycle where small children can ride in and enjoy bicycling with the rest of the family.

There are a number of different styles of these trailers such as the bicycle trailer stroller, child bicycle trailer and a baby bicycle trailer. All are designed to do the same thing which is to allow small children to ride along with the rest of the family on a bicycle journey. These bicycle trailers usually have only two wheels that support the seating area where the child rides. Some can be converted into a stroller with a padded push bar and a swivel wheel in the front. They will hold one child up to 100 lbs or two 50 lb children at one time. They are lightweight only weighing approximately 15 lbs with an aluminum frame and aluminum spoke wheels. There is no better way for a child to travel with mom and dad.

Most are covered with screened and plastic windows. The windows can be opened so the child does not get too hot inside the bike trailer or closed in case of rain. Some of the more elaborate models will convert from a bike trailer to a stroller or a jogger. This is for the versatile family that has multiple interests. It allows mom to ride her bicycle with bicycle trailers, dad to jog with the child and brother or sister to push them along while walking with mom and dad. It can get the entire family involved in outdoors fun and exercise while spending time together.

Bicycle trailers usually have a low center of gravity making them virtually impossible to over turn. This prevents your child from being injured from an over turned bicycle trailer stroller. There is even a child bicycle trailer that has storage behind the seating just like dad would have in his truck. These trailers cal also fold up for easy storing under a bed or in a closet. They will also fold up so you can even carry them on a bus if needed. Trailers are the most convenient way to enjoy the outdoors with your baby if you are an avid bicycle rider.

All of the baby bicycle trailers allow your child to face your back seeing everything you see. Some small children get sick if they ride backwards so this prevents them from getting motion sickness. If you give them a steering wheel toy, they can even feel like they are helping you guide your bicycle through the streets. There are a few accessories that you can get for the baby bicycle trailers like a snuggler that helps your baby sit up while riding in the trailer with padding around the head and a flat seat.
