It comes in both a single seater and double seater version. Just make sure your kiddo has glasses on and they should be fine. The only thing we don’t love about the Weehoo is that because it’s so close to the ground, kids get dusty and dirty. The Weehoo is unique in three ways: 1) it is recumbent, 2) thanks to a five-point harness it can be used with kids as young as 2-years-old, and 3) it comes in a double-seat version so you can use it with two children. If you keep reading to the bottom, I also offer suggestions on what to look for when shopping for a trailer cycle, and a handy-dandy comparison chart to help you choose. Here I offer my recommendations for which bike attachments for kids you should buy (“the 5 best”). They want to be a part of the action and bike too! Unfortunately, they are still too little to bike long distances without getting tired and they can be painfully slow.Ī trailer cycle, also known as a tag along bike or trail a bike, is a great solution. It turns a regular bike into a tandem bike! Kids get to pedal but mom or dad do the bulk of the work. Be aware though, that this set-up is noticeably more wobbly than traditional tag along bikes.At a certain age, kids get sick of sitting in a bike seat or trailer.

It’s also a great option if you want the functionality of both a child bike and a trailer cycle, but you don’t have enough storage space for both. Because the Trail-Gator is so portable, it’s saved the day on multiple occasions with tuckered-out kids towards the end of a ride. Once the arm is removed, it’s really small and easy to store.

This opens up all sorts of interesting possibilities, such as towing a child too small to fit on a traditional tag along bike, or doing rides where a child rides solo part of the way but is towed by an adult through challenging or less-safe sections. It consists of a metal arm that connects an adult bike to a regular kid’s bike with tires between 12″-20″ in diameter. The Trail Gator is a unique alternative to a traditional tag along bike. With one wheel, the Weehoo is also able to track smoothly on uneven surfaces, versus a trailer that bounces back and forth on two tires which can create a bumpy and uncomfortable ride.īEST FIT: 12″-20″ bikes (without hand brakes) with riders weighing 70 pounds or less Compared to a bike trailer, the narrow footprint of the Weehoo allows the trailers to easily glide through narrow trails without getting stuck on low-lying branches or rocks. While fun and enjoyable on paved paths, use on non-paved trails and single-track trails is where the Weehoo really shines. Additionally, it has a wide, recumbent seat with a height-adjustable harness that keeps kids secure and safe.īesides keeping kids safe, the recumbent seat allows them to sit back and relax, or throw their hands up in the air! And with pedals that are completely optional, kids can choose to take an active or passive role in the ride. That’s where Weehoo comes in! Built much lower to the ground, the Weehoo Turbo is incredibly stable compared to most standard trailer cycles. Standard trailer cycles can often sway side to side, and their lack of a harness can’t keep kids safe in the event of a fall. As an added bonus, the Piccolo/Kazoo can pivot all the way around so it actually sits next to the adult bike in a bike rack.īe aware that Burley’s proprietary rack cannot be used for a child bike seat, so you cannot use a child bike seat with this installed.

In addition to extra stability, the rack mount allows the Piccolo/Kazoo to pivot smoothly in all directions and maneuver around tight corners. The lack of leaning, or rocking back and forth, makes Burley trailer cycles easier to use and more enjoyable for both parent and child. Mounting to a rack versus a seat post, we (along with other Burley tag along bike users!) report minimal problems with the bike leaning to one side or the other, especially as compared to traditional seat post-mounted tag along bikes. Their unique mounting system makes the tag along bike MUCH more stable than others brands. The Burley Piccolo and Kazoo are some of the most expensive trailer cycles, but absolutely worth the investment, especially for families who use a trailer cycle a lot. The Piccolo is geared and best for older riders because shifting can be a challenge for younger kids.įULL REVIEW: Burley Piccolo, Burley KazooĮverything Burley makes is pretty awesome, and their tag along bikes are no exception. The Kazoo is single-speed, so better for younger riders.
