Bike Trailers

Instep Sierra Double Bicycle Trailer

1. Trailer Type

These type of bicycle seats are ideal for kids from two to four years old. Their spinal column is still soft and it is better for them to lie flat or at a reclines angle when accompanying their parents.

2.Mounted Type

Kids over 4 years old will like these types as they bring their parents closer to them and allow for communication whilst cycling. Parents have to be a bit more focussed and firm on the steering because the mounted seats add extra weight to the steering column in the front or the drag at the back of the seat area

3.Normal Seat Type

After a certain age, kids will want their own bicycles and this means that normal bicycle seats will have to do. In most cases, there are special bike seats for kids

1. Communication

Kids who are able to cycle on their own should be supervised in some way as to where they go, how long for and why are they going? These may seem unnecessary and trivial but kids have been known to get distracted and get lost whilst enroute to a friend's home or to the local stores. Teach your kids to communicate their whereabouts with you and seek your permission.

2. Protective Gear

Kids will fall regularly off their bicycles but you can help to minimize the pain. As a minimum, get them to wear a plastic core helmut. If you can buy some more gear, get knee pads for them to wear. In a fall, the head and knees get the most punishment.

3. Bicycle Treatment

Most kids love to ride bicycles but most don't like to clean them up. Parents should require their kids to clean up their own bicycles. For the first few times, parents will have to show them how to do it. By teaching them to clean and maintain their own bicycles, they will honour their bicycles and treat it well, ensuring that their bikes have a longer riding life.

Bike Seats For Kids

You will find bike seats for all different categories and this includes the kids categories. There are the strap-in child seats that are mounted on the top bar or near the handlebar of the bicycle. There are other bike seats for kids that are mounted at the rear of the bicycle. These allow for a lot of flexibility and participation in sight-seeing.

Current models are built with sturdy plastic and safer strapping. There are samples listed below and in our online store that would be a great choice.

Next would be the trailer models that are designed for the younger kids less than 3 years old. These allow for a more comfortable ride whilst allowing for packing extra necessities such as a water bottle or diapers.

For older kids there is hardly any need to choose different bike seats than what we would normally choose for men and women. Their anatomy is still forming into male and female and therefore bike seats for kids can be similar for either.

However, girls might prefer a softer version than what boys would prefer. Prices vary so it is important to read through product reviews in our online store to get a feel for the type of bike seat for kids that would best suit your child and match it with your budget.
