 I have young children and want to start taking the kids out on bicycles, what are my options to take the kids with me?
Cycling as a family is a great way to spend time together being active. There are a range of options available to take your child cycling once the child can wear a helmet and hold their head up (which is usually around one year of age)
The options include:
-
Child Trailer (which can accommodate up to two children)
-
Child seat at the back or front of your bike.
-
Trailer and Cycle/Tag a long once they are a bit older but not ready to ride by themselves for longer distances.
For more information, you can download this fact sheet on children and bike safety which includes tips on selecting a bike for kids. You may also be interested in an excellent fact sheet from VicHealth on the importance of active play for child development click here to download it
