Bike trailers can probably be the best present that parents can give to their children. It lets them enjoy the world with their parents and experience everything they were missing. Also, for the parents, it is a pleasant encounter where they can be around their kids the maximum time to give them the love and attention they need.

For someone new to bike trailers might wonder what is the suitable age for kids to use the bike trailer. It must be kept in mind that bike trailers also have their limitations based on their weight endurance and size. Improper use of bike trailers not only could damage the trailer itself but could also lead to injuries. Read more about bike trailers at BabyMonitorsRev.com



The right age for bike trailers?


Typically, children can ride the bike trailer up until they are at the age of 6 years. It is expected that a kid more than six years old will become too tall to fit inside a bike trailer. Also, the helmet might not get placed correctly in the roll bar. However, the age of 6 years is just an approximation. 

Every child has different body growth and development, so the maximum age could vary. In any case, at max seven years could be the age above which a child might not be able to fit inside the bike trailer. The average height recommended for a bike trailer is 41.25 inches, which are the standard height range for 6-7 years old.

Surprisingly, a bike trailer, single-seated or double-seated, has an average weight endurance of as much high as 80-125 pounds respectively which might seem too much for 1-6 years old. Although it technically it doesn't seem possible for children this young to occupy full 80 or 125 pounds yet we need to be wary of the maximum weight limit anyway. Avoiding accidents is the primary objective and here's a reason why: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/10/15/pediatric-orgs-bicycle-recommendations-explained-in-terrifying-detail/ 

Remember, if the height and weight of the child somehow exceed the maximum capacity of the bike trailer, it could damage the trailer. Also, it becomes difficult for the adult to pull the trailer, which could disrupt the experience for you.


You also need to be wary of the minimum age of the child recommended to ride with their parents. Don't forget, the universally accepted age for bike trailing is 12 months. If your child has less age than that, never even think to bring them with you on a ride — this way, you are subjecting them to potential threats that could inflict some severe damage.

Don't get disheartened if your child is aged more than 6-7 years and you can have the same journey with them that you, once you used, had with bike trailers. It is time for you to teach your kids how to ride a bike. You could get them a tri-cycle at first so that they can learn to ride it quickly and accompany you on the trips.
