Seating capacity: 1-2 | Dimensions: 84.6cm x 79.5cm x 97.3cm | Weight of the unit: 13.8kg | Weight capacity: 45kg What we love Safety-wise, we like that this trailer is made with front and rear reflectors and a five-point harness, as well as reflective lines on the sides and rear. Lifestyle: Planning to travel a lot and take your bike trailer along to various holiday spots? Then a lightweight trailer that doesn’t take up too much space and that can be assembled and folded with ease, such as the Bike Original Original Bike Trailer, is a good idea. However, if you’re looking for something a little more sturdy and spacious that’ll simply sit in the garage until it’s used, the Burley D’Lite X will work well for you. All the bike trailers on our list of recommendations fold up for easy storage. Some cheaper, older models (not listed here) may not fold up. What is the best kids’ bike trailer?

We have a Hamax bike trailer that converts to a double buggy which held my seven- and two-year-old (up to 50kg)... It is wide but fits in 90% of shops” - vetted by Mumsnet user, Confrontayshunme Our verdict It comes with large 20-inch wheels for extra traction and stability, plus ergonomically designed seats and padded shoulder straps that can accommodate two children with a combined weight of 36kg. It also has plenty of internal space as well as a full weather shield and bug screen for added protection. We then trawled the Mumsnet forums to find out which of those bike trailers Mumsnetters themselves were recommending, looking at how easy they were to ride with, how well they lasted over time and whether they have multi-use functions such as converting to a stroller.It’s made with a harder base than some other models for better protection against bumps and wet weather and has great padding for little bodies. While it’s not the lightest bike trailer out there, its slimline design makes it simple to ride with, particularly if you’re on a road or touring bike. When it comes to bicycle gear and accessories, Hamax is a popular brand amongst Mumsnetters who also gave a thumbs up to the Hamax Caress bike seat. If you have children of varying ages (and sizes) that you need to transport at the same time, it’s important to choose a big trailer with plenty of internal space, which is where the Hamax Traveller comes in. It has extra space in the front, which is great for older children with longer legs, plus the trailer itself has suspension features large wheels for a smooth ride. On the other hand, most trailers have maximum weights and possible heights they can take on, so there is no limit to what age a child can be for a bike trailer, but you should be aware of your child's weight before investing in a trailer. The max weight for some of the following trailers can go up to 40kg. With its 60 or 40 liters capacity heavy duty box, Bellelli Eco Trailer is the ideal solution. In a matter of seconds you can load it, attach it to your bike and off you go. Trusted bike trailer brand, Burley, has been designing quality bike trailers and accessories for over 40 years, so it comes as no surprise that the Burley Bee Bike Trailer (a newer version of the Burley Solo) is a firm favourite among parents.

With its 60 or 40 liters capacity heavy duty box, and 12” pneumatic tires, Bellelli Eco Trailer is the ideal solution. In a matter of seconds you can load it, attach it to your bike and off you go. Burley deserves another spot on our recommendations with their ultra-spacious D’Lite X. While this bike trailer is wide so as to carry two older children comfortably, it’s still easy enough to pull with a road bike or touring bike thanks to its seamless design and large 20” wheels.

If need be, the trailer easily converts to a stroller for walks or shopping trips. Another great feature is the height-adjustable handle and front swivel wheel for easy walking. We like that the bike trailer comes with a Schwinn Universal Coupler, making it attachable to just about any bicycle out there. This model also converts to a three-wheel buggy, where the front wheel swivels for extra manoeuvrability on any terrain. Pricey? Yes. But, when it comes to impeccable design and functionality, you can’t go wrong with Thule. The well-known Swedish brand has been designing and developing quality outdoor adventure products since 1942 and their bike trailers are made according to the highest quality and safety standards. Bellelli B-Travel is among the first trailers designed to comply with EN 15918, the new European bike trailers safety Standards.
