Does the nursery run for a 4 and 2.5 yr old, rain or shine (the kids love it), weekend picnics, family potters etc. as well as runs to shops etc. It's absolutely great, I love it.

I bought a double trailer for the kids (1 and 2) and have been using it with my MTB to cycle with the dog round the park and for simple paths. The kids absolutely love it

It wasn't a fancy one as I wanted to see how much use I'd actually get out of it, and how much the kids would like it, but so far its a complete winner!

Even in the cold they're happy once I've put blankets etc in

I've been very hesitant to use it on the road or even cycle paths on the road, do you guys use them on the road?

The other problem is having to get through width restrictions/gates etc, makes life difficult

no pics but I love my minute, fits on a standard bike rack on my camper van so when we're camping we can leave the van parked up and head out with the nipper on the weeride.

With the bags that came with it I can fit all the beach toys required for some serious sandcastle construction.

I can't see me ever getting rid of it.

ianpv, love the photo! How old before you just let your boy sit on the back?

Don't really like to use the roads when I've my boy on the hamax seat (though cars do generally seem to give you a lot more room!) I use them a bit but mostly try and link together pavement, cycle paths and towpaths.

I reckon I'd struggle a little on the nursery run with a trailer due to stupid staggered barriers on the cycle paths.

Pictonroad, what you got?
