Why a bike trailer is exactly right for you

If you often ask yourself: "How are we supposed to transport all this?" – then a bike trailer is probably exactly what you're missing. It gets you through everyday life with child or children more relaxed, without constantly juggling between buggy, balance bike, and shopping bags.

What families particularly appreciate about a children's bike trailer:

• ✔️ Transport two children comfortably and safely – side by side or with age difference
• ✔️ Ideal for daycare, shopping, excursions or just getting some fresh air
• ✔️ More protection than in bike child seat – through stable frames and weather protection
• ✔️ Depending on model: also usable as buggy or jogger
• ✔️ Lots of storage space for snacks, toys, and half the household

In short: A bike trailer doesn't take everything away from you – but quite a lot. Those who don't want to commit yet can simply rent a suitable bike trailer at StrollMe – and flexibly try out what fits your everyday life. Whether leisurely to daycare or sporty in jogging mode: The right model is waiting.

Which bike trailers exist – and which model fits you?

Choosing a bike trailer is a bit like deciding on the right stroller – only with even more possibilities. Because not every model fits every everyday life, every family, or every child. The good news: Today there's a large selection of bike trailers – for one child, two children, sporty tours, or narrow city traffic.

Combo models in focus – one trailer, many possibilities

Combo models are real all-rounders – especially for families that don't tick the same way every day. Once on the bike, once as a jogger, the next day as a buggy in the supermarket – these models can be flexibly converted and adapt to your routes.

Typical modes & functions overview:

• 🚲 Bike mode: Classic travel with coupling to the rear wheel – safe, stable, ideal for longer distances.
• 🚶 Buggy mode: With swivel wheel and push handle – perfect for daycare, city, or spontaneous stops in between.
• 🏃 Jogger mode: With large, fixed front wheel for sporty excursions or uneven terrain.

Such combo bike trailers with push function are available from Thule, Hamax, Croozer, or Cube – depending on the model with or without suspension, adjustable seats, or storage solutions. Particularly practical: Those who want to try out a combo model first can rent it flexibly at StrollMe – and exchange it for another model if needed when everyday life changes.

Bike trailers for two children – what you should really pay attention to

Two children mean double the organizational effort – but also double the chances for peaceful naps on the go (when it goes well). For this to work, you need a bike trailer that fits exactly your family everyday life: stable, spacious, flexible.

Checklist for two-seater bike trailers:

• ✅ Load capacity & stability: Models for two children should withstand at least 45 kg total load and bring a stable frame.
• ✅ Comfort & safety: Padded 5-point harnesses, sufficient space per child, and ideally individually adjustable seats.
• ✅ Entry & seat height: Low entry, high backrests – practical for older children or independent boarding.
• ✅ Storage space: With two kids, automatically more gets taken along – a large luggage compartment isn't luxury, but necessity.
• ✅ Folding size & weight: Particularly relevant for city parents or when the trailer regularly has to go in the car.
• ✅ Transport options: A modular interior is worth gold – e.g., when you only have one child with you or your small dog should ride along.

Safety & comfort – what really counts

Whether on the way to daycare or on weekend trips to the countryside – when your children ride along in the bike trailer, one thing counts above all: trust in safety. Modern trailers offer exactly that – combined with lots of comfort for everyday life. Here you'll learn what to pay attention to:

5-point harness systems

Secure hold even during movement: All bike trailers at StrollMe are equipped with 5-point harnesses. Models like Thule Chariot Cross 2, Hamax Outback, or Croozer Kid Yuuna additionally offer well-padded, individually adjustable harnesses.

Safety frame & rollover protection

A stable frame protects against unexpected tipping moments – such as with potholes or abrupt curves. The Croozer Kid Vaaya 2 relies on an all-around closed Safe-Frame, the Hamax Cocoon on reinforced side walls.

Suspension

Good suspension protects spines and nerves – for parents and children alike. Croozer Yuuna and Vaaya work with the maintenance-free AirPad® system that automatically adjusts. With the Thule Cross 2, the suspension can be manually adjusted – ideal for mixed routes.

Climate & ventilation

High-quality bike trailers protect against sun, wind, and insects – without heat buildup. Hamax Cocoon scores with magnetic panoramic window, Croozer Vaaya with intelligent air circulation through climate windows.

Visibility in traffic

All bike trailers rentable at StrollMe have reflectors. The Croozer Kid Vaaya 2 additionally offers an integrated lighting system with motion sensor – for more visibility at dusk and darkness.

Ergonomic seating comfort

Good padding and adaptable backrests make longer rides significantly more pleasant. The Hamax Outback convinces with adjustable backrest, the Croozer Yuuna with the ergonomic AirPad® seating system.

Helmet in the trailer – a firm part of the equipment

For us, the helmet simply belongs when riding with the bike trailer. Even though it's not legally required, it's indispensable for us – just like the harness or the light on the bike. It reliably protects against jerks, quick stops, or when things get a bit bumpier.

What you should pay attention to:

• ✔️ The right size – so the helmet sits securely and doesn't slip
• ✔️ A flattened back – so your child can sit comfortably or even fall asleep sometimes
• ✔️ Good ventilation & low weight – for a pleasant wearing feeling, even on longer tours
