What is Safer? - a Bicycle Trailer or Bicycle-mounted Seats

These two-wheeled carts, designed to be towed behind a bicycle, have two bicycle-type wheels and a long hitching arm that fastens onto the bicycle's chain assembly or seat post.
Bicycle trailers are safer then bicycle-mounted baby seats, since kids are seated, strapped in, and enclosed inside a zippered compartment.
Bicycle-mounted seats can make a bike unstable and hard to mount and dismount.
Bicycle trailers are best for special biking routes and trailers, they are not the best products to go on streets with passing cars. For safety's sake, trailers should be considered off-road vehicles, used only in parks and safe trails without the risk of car/bicycle encounters.
When I take my child biking with me in his bicycle trailer, I always check very carefully the proper mounting, and always make sure, that he is wearing a helmet. Helmets are very important to protect and prevent from possible injuries. It is also very important to teach your child from the beginning the habit of wearing helmet.
It is also important to learn how to ride the bike while the bicycle trailer is connected, easy on bumps, and easy turns. Always remember, that when your bike speeds up,braking becomes harder, especially on wet surfaces.
Bicycle trailers are fun for kids, but always remember about safety.

Places to go biking with your kids - Cape Cod, Massachusetts

If you planning to visit Massachusetts and you like biking - the best thing is to spend a day on biking trail on Cape Cod.
The Cape Cod Rail Trail is a paved bikeway that runs 28 miles from South Dennis to Wellfleet. The terrain is relatively flat, with some minor grades at certain sections. It offers the most variety in scenery and natural Cape landscapes available of all the regional bike routes. The trail is very attractive, with restaurants along the way, picnic areas, stores, beaches...
Biking is my favorite way to spend free time with my family, especially while on vacation. My little son always enjoys riding in his favorite bicycle trailer, attached to my bike. It is always fun and great entertaining for him and a perfect way for me and my husband to spend an active day and exercise.
This summer vacation we spend on Cape Cod at Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, Mass. The resort is a great place for the whole family, it was the perfect vacation, nice weather, golfing, beaches, tennis, and family biking with my son in the bicycle trailer. He would not make it on his own, more fun for David was riding in the bicycle trailer and watch nice landscapes. My son never complained about spending the whole day on the trail, he was happy and perfectly entertained.
Thanks to such a product, like bicycle trailer, we can go biking and take our little one with us, instead leaving him with our baby sitter. There are many kinds of bicycle trailers, made by Schwinn and In Step.
The other benefit of biking together as a family is teaching our son, how to spend free time in a very active way and to build up his desire to fitness and exercise.

If you ever went biking on Cape Cod, please share with us with your comments and stories.
