You should not cycle with a baby seat installed in a bicycle trailer.

Cycling with a baby in a bike trailer may seem like a convenient way to take your child on outdoor trips, but there are several important safety considerations to consider. The child should be robust before being exposed to unevenness combined with the high speed that cycling entails.

The baby seat can be used in all Hamax bike trailers. In trailers produced from 2021 onwards, a small hole has been made in the wall behind the seats, so that you can pull the attachment strap through. The instruction manual describes how to attach the baby seat to both new and older strollers.

The same rules as with car seats apply to the baby seat. Infants should not sit in the baby seat for more than 1 – max. 2 hours at a time. Then they must be allowed to stretch and move their muscles before you possibly continue the walk. Feel free to confer with the public health nurse about this. Remember that the baby seat should only be used in stroller mode, not when cycling.

For safety reasons, all children seated in a bike trailer must wear a properly fitted and securely fastened bicycle helmet while cycling. 

Tip: In some bike trailer models, removing the headrest cushion can provide additional space for the helmet and improve the child’s seating position.

When cycling with children in a bike trailer, you should always prioritize safety and comfort.

Make sure your children wear properly fitted bicycle helmets and are securely fastened in the harness system. Check that the trailer is correctly attached to your bike and that the safety strap is securely fastened. Ensure the safety flag is mounted and clearly visible.

Dress your children appropriately for the weather and make sure they remain comfortable throughout the ride. Bring enough water, especially on longer trips.

Always follow traffic regulations, adjust your speed to the conditions, and stay aware of your surroundings.
