If you are a parent, then it’s likely you want to share your passion for cycling with your kids. For some people that could mean regular transportation activities, heading to the store by bike instead of by car, or heading to the park for a day of play without ever touching a car. Another aspect though is cycling for fun and for that, getting your child pedalling is a big part of it. In the early years, all the potential scenarios will require some kind of bike trailer, and with that in mind, we’ve put together a list of the best bike trailers for kids available today.
If you’d like to let your kids be a part of the pedalling fun, we have a couple of options on our list. One of them is the Weehoo Turbo Bike trailer.
