Child Bike Seats and Carriers Features

Bringing the Kids Along for a Fun Family Activity

(Back to the top)

There are very few activities a family can participate in together that are as enjoyable as a family bicycle ride. It's not so easy to do if you have young children that are unable to ride safely along on their own bicycles with the adults and older children, especially in areas where there is heavy vehicle traffic.

You don't have to miss the pleasure of a family bike ride just because you have young children. There are a variety of child bike seats and carriers to accommodate the little ones during the two wheel adventure. You can find a seat or a carrier for children from toddler age, up through that age where they insist on riding their own bike - or until you don't have the strength to tow such a heavy load - whichever comes first.

Here are some of the features to look for in a child bike seat or carrier:


  • Fast and easy quick release installation and removal from your bicycle.

  • Safety harnesses to hold your child in place while traveling.

  • Straps and dividers that keep hands and feet from becoming caught in the spokes, seat springs, or chain.

  • Lightweight design for the comfort and riding pleasure of the parent.

Your Child's Safety Rides on this Decision

(Back to the top)


Each individual will have practical reasons for selecting a specific type of child carrier. All of the carriers offer their unique selling points. Responsible shoppers will pay close attention to the safety features of the child seat or trailer model they select.

Consider the following:

  • How old is your child?

  • What is the size and weight of your child?

  • Are you concerned about the amount of weight that you will be adding?

  • What are the safety features available on the unit?

  • Do you plan to do any jogging with your child in tow in addition to your bicycle riding?

  • Will you need to stow away the unit in limited space when it's not in use?

  • How easily does it hitch up to your bicycle?

Whichever style and model you choose, you will find great pleasure in the time you spend riding as a family. Give yourself the gift of family togetherness and create fond memories. Your child will love it!

Oh, yeah, be sure to wear helmets when your ride.

Child Bicycle Safety Message

Always, Always, Always make sure your child is wearing a helmet while riding in any type of bicycle child carrier!

Bicycle Helmets for Children

Keep Your Child Safe

Responsible parents should always make sure that their child is wearing a helmet when riding on a bicycle. Despite all the safety features on the child bicycle seats, there is still a risk of injury if the bike tips or if you are involved in an accident. Make sure that your child is wearing a helmet so that the risk of head injury is minimized.
