Baby bike trailer? |
The few baby bike trailers I have seen all say "for ages 1-?"...I have a five month old...can I still put her in one of these? I've only looked online and in stores in the boxes so I assume it is because the seats are sitting up...and by 1 they can certainly sit up well...but does ANYONE make a bike trailer with seats that recline or one that I could put a car seat in? The concern isn't so much the upright position, its the constant bouncing/movement of the trailer behind the bike. Putting a child who is unable to support their head fully into a bike trailer can cause serious problems to the child. However, most of the trailers (Burley and Chariot being my two favorite) do have some sort of a recline function, generally only about 20-25 degrees down from the top. I would check out REI.com and look at the different models, as well as stopping by a local store and asking someone in that department what they would recommend. Source(s): REI Employee No, I would not put my baby in a trailer until after they are at least 1 year old, because their neck muscles and back muscles are not strong enough or developed to support their big ole heads. And all that jarring in an unsuspended trailer is bad for their spinal area, because of their undeveloped core muscles. You want your baby to be able or ready to start walking before you put hem in a trailer. Make sure you have one of those bicycle baby approved egg head helmets for your baby when you start to take them out in the trailer. This is just my opinion and experience from when I use to trailer around my kids when they were little. I miss those days! Remember this is your child, take no chances and stay on the side of safety. The trailer company recommends these age limits, because of safety tests and possible past injuries of actual consumers. Hopes this helps. = ) Life experience. You can put a newborn in there if you want to. You can just keep them in their car seat and strap them in. They will be fine. |
