Do you know what sort your is? Thanks for the advice on the trailer too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10753#post-118727 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:35:40 +0000 SRD 118727@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got a helmet that our boy used at about 6 months, which you're welcome to. (has definitely never been in a crash, but can't promise it's never been dropped). </p> <p>re the trailer - I'd go for lightweightness over anything else.</p> <p>(might be in market to sell ours on/loan it while we're on hols, but this weekend looking a bit hectic already...) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10753#post-118723 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 12:23:43 +0000 algo 118723@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I'd like to get a bike trailer for the kids - currently I use a weeride but it's not good for long journeys as you have to ride with very wide knees. My daughter is 8 months old, but sits up very happily and I reckon would love it, and it'd be nice to get out and about as a family every now and again.</p> <p>I know it's already been discussed on here, but the prices seem to vary wildly. The best seem to be chariot - they are well made and have suspension - there's also burley and croozer, but there are some other cheaper new ones now like Vantly and Bluebird which seem to be being sold by reputable places in Holland. </p> <p>I'm wondering whether suspension is really necessary - it feels like a nice idea but I'm not sure - particularly if you can get hold of big apple tyres and the like. I reckon with such a small head, the chances of the helmet staying on properly but I'm not sure how to resolve this either.</p> <p>I wondered also on the off-chance whether someone might have one that's just taking up space if their kids have grown up. </p> <p>As always - any advice much appreciated! </p>
