Cycling with kids in a bike trailer
There are some basic things you should pay attention to when cycling with a child in a bike trailer:
• Children over seven years of age are not permitted to sit in a bike trailer.
• No more than 2 kids of up to 7 years may be carried in a bike trailer.
• Only drive on cycle paths with a maximum speed of 30 km/h.
• The minimum age of the child is half a year. In addition, a baby protection shell or infant sling is required.
• If you want to cycle with a child in a bike trailer, you must be at least 16 years old.
• Children should also wear a helmet when transported in a bike trailer.
• Fasten the child restraint before every ride and also for short distances.
• Please note the trailer manufacturer's instructions!
• The bike trailer must be approved for the weight and size of the child/children.
• Bicycle trailers must only be attached to the rear axle of the bike using special hitching devices. Do not attach it on
the seat post!
• The installation of a bike trailer may affect the handling of your bike (balance, steering and braking). Please adapt
your riding style accordingly.
• Check all bike parts for proper functioning with the bike trailer attached.
• Do not exceed the bicycle's maximum load with the addition of a trailer.
