I told him I got mine second-hand through it too :)</p> <p>Although, the reason we were talking about them is that someone was selling a brand-new (never out of box) Halfords single trailer, and we were both shocked at how heavy it seemed - much heavier than my double trailer from the coop... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3816#post-39977 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:35:03 +0000 DaveC 39977@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We have a Halfords trailer we may be willing to part with. I'll ask the missus. We have two trailer brackets so we can move between bikes without having to remove wheels.</p> <p>Dave C </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3816#post-39975 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:30:53 +0000 ruggtomcat 39975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Saw lots of burleys used for this when i was abroad. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3816#post-39971 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:24:05 +0000 Arellcat 39971@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The Pashley/Cresswell U+2 used to be the standard for carrying two children, but I think they've been out of production for some time. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3816#post-39964 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 11:09:38 +0000 crowriver 39964@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bakfiets? Or the Danish Nihola trike?</p> <p>Both dedicated solutions, without the same flexibility as a trailer, but both place the kids in front of the rider. <strike>Bakfiets is an</strike> Both are excellent cargo carriers too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3816#post-39960 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 10:58:36 +0000 SRD 39960@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Had a good chat with chap at the NNS on Saturday who is looking for a trailer that could carry his twins. Suggested he check out the forum for useful advice. He's keen on a <a href="http://www.chariotcarriers.com/">chariot </a> which is apparently a Canadian make (didn't know that!). I said we'd had good luck with the bike coop trailer, but that it didn't convert to a stroller. </p> <p>I also mentioned the Helios, which is fine until they are 3-4 ish, I guess. </p> <p>One benefit to the trailer is obviously being able to move it between bikes. </p> <p>Any other ideas? </p>
