Front Mounted Bike Seats to Transport Your Kids on Bikes

These are a common way to transport kids, and it gives you as the parent complete control, plus the ability to keep a constant eye on your child, and reassure her or him as well. Therefore, it is ideal for very young kids.

Separate bike lanes make life safer for a lot of people. And front mounted bike seats for kids enable you to stay in constant communication with your child - how to safely transport kids on bikes
Front mounted bike seats for kids enable you to stay in constant communication with your child

A great option is the Yepp Mini, which is highly rated, easy to mount, and very comfortable. It includes a handlebar for your child’s hands, as shown in the photo above.


Rear Mounted Bike Seats to Transport Your Kids on Bikes

Some people feel safer having their kids tucked behind them, not up front. If that is you, there are many options available. A great option is the Yepp Maxi, which complies with the most stringent European safety requirements and is certified by the Dutch TNO Institute. It won these awards: Baby Innovation Award Winner 2011, Reddot Design Award Winner 2009, Good Industrial Design Winner 2009 and 2010, Dutch Design Award 2009, Fiets Innovative Award 2009. It attaches to your seat post and includes a 5-point harness, adjustable footrests, and shoulder pads for comfort.


Bike Trailers to Transport Your Kids

I see many more parents transporting their kids with bikes on all the new separate bike lanes that have been built in Vancouver over the last decade, thanks to Vision Vancouver and thousands of hard-working cycling activists. A very common way to do this is with a trailer, as in these photos.

Here's a mother showing how to safely transport kids on bikes - in one of the wonderful separate bike lanes in Vancouver. This is the intersection of Hornby Street and Dunsmuir Street, at the heart of Vancouver's separate bike lane network

One day I saw about 4 parents transporting kids on the Vancouver separated bike lanes at the same time! - how to safely transport kids on bikes
One day I saw about four parents transporting kids on the Vancouver separated bike lanes at the same time!

For example, the Burley Bee Child Trailer is one of the most trusted products on the market. I used to own one myself, when my kids were little, and it lasted forever. It is one of the lowest priced, ASTM-certified child trailers, and is lightweight. A new innovation are tinted side and rear windows with integrated UPF 30 for sun protection. It weighs just 20.5 lb, yet enables you to carry up to two children. Safety features include a full internal roll cage, and a 5-point safety harness.

Tag-Along Bikes so that Your Kids Can Pedal Safely Behind You

These contraptions are variously called tag-along bikes, bike trailers, and other things. Bottom line is that you can use them to really get your kids into cycling safely, and go out on really fun outings. They are pedaling too, but you get to stay in control! The tag-along bike option means that your kids get to do some bicycling. This WeeRide Co-Pilot Bike Trailer is extremely popular and highly rated by users.

Tandem Bikes

Some parents graduate their kids to a tandem bike. Essentially these are similar to the option of tag-along bikes above, but they enable you to share the control with your kids, rather than you being in complete control.

At some point your child will get old enough to share a tandem with you - and if you are very lucky, he or she will still want to! - how to safely transport kids on bikes
At some point your child will be old enough to share a tandem with you – and if you are very lucky, he or she will still want to!


As your kids grow older, you will of course want to get them riding their own bikes. Here’s a post all about how to teach your children to ride bikes. As explained in that post, the ideal place to start is with a strider or balance bike, as shown in the photo below.

Welcome to Average Joe Cyclist!

Welcome to our blog! I’m Joe Goodwill, an average cyclist, and I write a blog for people like me. People who love cycling but will probably never win any races, and who don’t necessarily look good in Lycra! I also write the Electric Bikes Blog and Average Joe's RV Living Blog. To find our most popular posts, check out our Start Here page.

Hi! I'm Maggie Neilson (aka Mrs. Average Joe Cyclist). Joe and I have done a lot of cycling, and we share what we have learned on this blog . We also write reviews of cycling products and trails! Get to know us better HERE.
