Weeho's tremendously expensive in comparison and limited use. Also much longer than a tagalong, so tricky around corners/bollards. </p> <p>One thing I've noticed whenever we're shown pics of 'european cycling' is that they have kids in bike seats much older/bigger than we would here. My daughter who is big for her age was fine in copilot until 4 1/2 - she'd still fit in it okay now if needed, and she's the size of a well-grown six year old. She wouldn't fit a hamax though. The simple european seats seem good for bigger kids -- well up to school age. </p> <p>When I was at same stage as you, I thought the wee-hoo would be a great option. But looking back at it, very glad I didn't go down that route. (I did worry about her being used to falling asleep on the tandem or tagalong, but she's never even come close to it.) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7935#post-79897 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 08:27:39 +0000 DaveC 79897@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We don't but we do have a Tag-along. You're welcome to look at it. If you are on a budget then we got ours second hand practically new but with added dust for £70 off Gumtree. They are around £150 new. I do like the look of the Weehoo and it would be good for sleepy children as when our youngest got tired and his afternoon nap time approached, I had to ride back leaving him with my partner at the side of the road while I returned with the car. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=7935#post-79878 Mon, 30 Jul 2012 22:06:49 +0000 jcoutts 79878@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hi All</p> <p>My daughter (almost 4) is starting to feel too big for her child seat on my bike (I can feel her knees in my back a lot of the time, plus her feet are now starting to be too big for the straps!!). </p> <p>Has anyone on the forum got a Weehoo? I'm keen to have a look at one ideally in Edinburgh.</p> <p>Or, when is the next 'try lots of kid bike trailers' events at bike station?</p> <p>Many thanks for any help, James. </p>
