Recommendations for Bicycle Trailer Users

It is important that your baby is safe at all times, especially when you take him on the road in the bicycle trailer. I realized that is never to much to read about safety, new rules, and recommendations, if we are talking about our childrens safety.
That's why I write a lot about these topics and hope that you make them useful and practical for your family.

- Don't buy a bicycle trailer or a bicycle-mounted seat until your baby is at least 1 year old. It is not recommend for children younger than that because they may not be physically equipped to withstand the forces they'll be exposed to when riding in a bicycle seat or trailer. And when they're younger than age 1, they can't support their head properly with a helmet on, which all riders should wear.

- Choose based on your needs, riding ability, and where you are riding. Trailers are "off-road vehicles"; use them only in parks and on safe, smooth trails where there's no risk of encounters with cars.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for bicycle trailer, regarding the maximum weight, which is usually up to 100 pounds.

- The better bicycle trailers have sturdy construction, tinted windows, a comfortable interior, and a wide wheel base. But before you buy, ask yourself if you will use the trailer enough to justify the price. If you think you'll use it only occasionally, buy the most durable trailer you can find at the low-end price.
- Consider how much weight you'll tow. If the weight of the bicycle trailer plus the passenger or passengers exceeds 50 pounds, you may start to feel like a beast of burden. Pedaling uphill can be especially difficult. At that point, maybe it's time for riders to get their own bikes.

- Take your cycling ability into consideration. If you opt for a bicycle-mounted seat, you might find a rear-mounted seat with a child in tow unnerving and exhausting to operate. If you're a novice or not in top shape, you'd probably be better off with a front-mounted seat. If you go with a bicycle trailer, ride with only one child at a time if you're an infrequent rider.
- Finally, have your child wear a lightweight, well-fitting bike helmet, and never leave a child in the seat with the bike on the kick stand, which isn't made to support the weight.

The Lexington Loop - the great place to bike with children in New England

I'm a big fun of family bicycling with children, as you can see when reading my posts and articles.
As a child psychologist, I notice many useful profits for the whole family, from physical to emotional and social benefits. Now, spring coming and many families will start a new bicycling season.
Don't forget about safety while bicycling with your children in attached bicycle trailers. I wrote a few articles about this topic, please review my blog posts, if interested.
This weekend I'm planning to try a new bike path with my family, I'm so glad that spring brings that opportunity, my son can't wait to hit the road in his bicycle trailer!
We will go to The Lexington Loop, it is a new track for us, but I head a few nice comments about it.

The Lexington Loop - you can view some of the most picturesque landscapes New England has to offer when you ride on this 30-mile loop. The trail takes you mostly through back roads, viewing meadows, woodlands, quaint farms, and historic places like Concord, Lexington, and the Old North Bridge.
I hope that the ride will be very educational too, especially for my son.

Promote healthy lifestyle with a Bicycle Trailer

Bicycle trailers are great tools for parents, we can use them as well as jogging strollers, to promote healthy, active lifestyle. Kids learn from us at every stage of their life, we are row models for them every minute. The most important thing for parents is to raise healthy and active kids.
I discovered with my child, that bicycle trailers are perfect accessories to teach kids these values from the beginning and forming positive habits in terms of spending free, family time together in healthy and active way. There are many benefits coming from that kind of activity and it is worth trying. My child loves his bicycle trailers and family time spend together. He can't wait until spring, when his bicycle trailer will be pulled out of the garage.
