I have a 1 year old, she can walk, run and turn on a dime. My wife thinks it's too early to get her a bike seat, I think she'd definitly be able to handle it. Especially as I'd only be taking her in the park.

Any experiences? What kind do people use for younger ones? Trailers? Attached to the seat?

Thanks,

Dave

Mines 13 months, can't walk only just crawls!
She goes in a bike trailer so yours will be fine!

Mine was once they fitted properly into the smallest Specialized helmet and hold the weight of the helmet on their neck comfortably. About 10 months from memory.

Eldest loved it, youngest about to start... 🙂

Edit. Just looked back through photos, it was more like 14 months before I started.

Plenty old enough. Wrap her up warm. They can get really cold very quickly sitting there inactive.

The wheels on the bike go round and round has a surprising number of variations!

My eldest was in a trailer from 8 months on. As soon as we thought he had sufficient neck strength.
He loved it and I used to take him on singletrack and fire roads without problems.
