Bicycle trailers attach to a bike's rear axle or frame, and can carry children from 1 trough 6 or so.
They provide some protection to passengers since children are seated, strapped in, and usually enclosed in a zippered compartment. Bicycle trailers have a rigid frame enclosed in durable fabric, which offers some protection for young passengers if the unit rolls over. But children still must wear bike helmets. Because the bicycle trailer is closer to the ground, it is potentially safer then a bicycle-mounted seat in a case of accident. Some designs have a hitching arm that allows the bike to fall without tipping the bicycle trailer. For safety it is recommended to attach a 4-7 foot-tall, high-visibility orange flag.
