I like it better then the behind ones because I feel like it lets him see more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biking-with-lo-1#post-2528995 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 16:26:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 2528995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a trailer that goes on DH's bike. DH and LO both liked it a lot this summer (we didn't start using it until she was almost 2). It feels plenty safe but we only used it on paved bike paths, with maybe a few low traffic streets to get from the house to the bike path. It did take a few tries for her to really like it though, and lots of snacks. And the bike helmet kind of pushed her head forward until I put a folded towel behind her back. Just FYI. </p> <p>Then our bikes were stolen so now we have a trailer but no bike. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biking-with-lo-1#post-2528834 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 14:08:08 +0000 lamariniere 2528834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinbaderin: We had that for our first LO. It went on my bike because it didn't fit right on my DH's. I only liked it when my son was very small (like 1 year), as he got bigger I felt very off balance with it.</p> <p>My personal preference is a rear mounted bike seat. We have one from a brand called Hamax. However, you'll want to check weight limits, my son was too heavy for ours by about age 3.5-4. I've never tried a trailer, but we live in a city and the thought of using one makes me uncomfortable, but I bet it would be nice for areas with less traffic, or dedicated bike paths. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biking-with-lo-1#post-2528810 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 13:28:17 +0000 erinbaderin 2528810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0065UTOWO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1461090386&#038;sr=1-3&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0065UTOWO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1461090386&#038;sr=1-3&#038;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65</a></p> <p>I can't speak to it personally, because it's on my husband's bike and I've never used it, but he really likes it and my son loves it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/biking-with-lo-1#post-2528773 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 12:38:53 +0000 Dahlia 2528773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will be one this summer and we hope to start biking with her. Does anyone have any experience? I'm looking for advice on whether you prefer a trailer or a seat, and what brands or products you've found to work well.</p> <p>We will probably mostly be riding on paved bike paths, some hills but nothing too strenuous. Looking to both run errands around town and go for longer rides (20-30 miles) eventually. </p>
