Thanks for the input Brumby,brumby33 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 12, 2023 7:37 amI'm in agreeance with RonK regarding daughter, I think she may be a bit too young to be touring behind a bicycle as she is still an infant at 12 Months old, her neck muscles would not yet be developed enough to handle the rigours of being jostled around. At least another year or two for her to grow before tackling anything really big like Multi days.
You should get a better idea how she'll go with half day and full day outings but for Multi days, I think she's too young still, but this is only my opinion and I'm not a Doctor.
We have a 30km dirt test coming up, which might help answer or confirm your concerns.
The trailer has a reclined seating position and mesh area behind her head for her helmet to rest in which holds her head pretty steady. (hard to explain, but a look at photos of the Thule Chariot Cougar 2 might help)
In early tests, she falls asleep on the bitumen but can become grumbly on dirt if she's not in the mood, but travels fine on dirt when shes in a good mood.
We aren't the first to give it a go, here are a couple of articles. There are several others and also youtube videos.
