[#1667943]

Can anyone recommend a children's bike trailer for travelling on fire roads and gravel paths?

I have a 9 month old daughter, and both my wife and I would like to take her out in a trailer along some local flat, traffic-free, cycle paths.

There are quite a few for sale on eBay, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Dave

I rate the Croozer or chariot ones, I'm looking at selling my croozer single to fund getting a double now no. 2 is here. Lil Rt went in it from 12 weeks and is now 2 1/2 years,
I'm near Leeds/York if your local, pop over and have a try, Looking for £200, rrp is about £380 i think nowadays but you really do get what you pay for. These hug the child so when they fall asleep, which they will, they don't flop as they do on the bench seat type.
Mail me at rickyinmicky AT yahoo.co.uk if your interested.

We've just bought a Bumper Explorer, £100 off ebay (rutland cycles) seems great for the money 🙂

Croozer is very good for the money. Chariot is just excellent - as it has suspensions and is lighter with better components. But if you only have the one child and are seriously looking for some offroad with some single track thrown in check out the Tout Terrain Singletrailer -

But is very expensive.

Woo that's a little on the price side 🙂
I have a adventure at2 which is good for the price at £150. Mines done over 1000 miles so far. My duaghter finds it fum to be in and she has fallen a sleep in it often and when she does she tends to slump in the seat. I have also managed to tip it over once 😳 going around a roundabout to fast and whilst the trailer got a few scars my daughter thought it was funny.
