Bicycle Strollers
Bicycle Strollers are definitely for the cyclists lovers. Avid cyclists like avid joggers (see below), can enjoy cycling and take their one children along.
Combining your favorite sport activity (cycling or jogging or walking) and have your child enjoying it shows a family which nurtures and participates in a healthy activity; it is simply a much better “together” time.
Bicycle strollers , sometimes known as bike trailers or bicycle trailers offer a variety of options.
Due to the nature of the bike trailers, you will have to consider more factors than otherwise with the regular baby strollers. For example:
Towing a child behind your bicycle calls for a different kind of riding and bike handling. At the very minimum, you take your turns differently and you need to consider the terrain differently. Bike trailers can be used for carrying children, pets, and cargo.
I have a neighbor down the street from me who owns a double stroller for the bicycle made by Wike. If you are in the market for one, he swears by this one, from their safety features to their superb customer service. They are a bit pricey, but definitely worth it. From my own product research for this article, they have one impressive trailer.
What to look for?
- Definitely consider the double compartment. Even if you child outgrows the stroller, you can keep it and use it to schlep cargo around; even pets. It has space for toys and your own things such as water bottle, wallet, telephone, diapers, etc. If you have only one child, you can always allow him to invite a friend to come along.
- A five point seat belt which secures the children well.
- A chariot with plenty of leg room, particularly for the special needs child.
- Make sure you have extra storage compartment.
- A conversion kit that would transform the bicylce stroller to a jogging stroller.
- A 100 lbs. capacity.
- Padded seats.
