You’ll grow accustomed to this over time and it will not bother you. If the Travoy DOES tip, it doesn’t take the bike with it.

The trailer includes reflectors on the wheels and a safety flag designed to enhance better visibility at night. The adjustable leash hook is another addition so that you can buy the trailer when looking for a bike carriage for dogs that is designed for use at night.

The trailer weighs around 8.5 kg which isn't light but it's pretty good considering the quality of the wheels and the load it can handle. In comparison to the competition, it's actually the lightest model we've recommended. When the hamper is inappropriate we use a cargo net. The cargo net is also handy if your hamper is overflowing.

Almost all of the below trailers have been tested extensively by bicycle tourers around the world. I’m happy to add other options if enough people have firsthand experience with other bike trailers. You can usually take children who are under 105 cm tall (around 4 or 5 years old) with you in a bike trailer, though this partly depends on the size and load capacity of the trailer, You already lug around enough weight when you’re bicycle touring.
