Hello, My husband and I love to bike ride. So do our kids. Up until this year they rode on 'babyseats' attached to our bikes. They are too inexperienced to bike solo on busy bike paths near us but too large to ride in a babyseat. Any suggestions? Thanks!
I've seen a bar that connects the adult's bicycle to the child's. Does anyone know more about them?
Answer
The Trail Gator is probably the thing that you have seen. They are ok for children up to 70lb (32 kg)

There are various add on's that are called Tag-along, trail-a-bike, add-a-bike etc. They are all pretty much variations of this theme.

I will be starting to introduce my "nearly 4" year old to the back of a tandem fitted with a child pedal kit. (Short trips only, he gets fidgety)

In the mean time we are still able to get him around quite well in a trailer. He is starting to get a bit too tall for it, but is still well within the weight capacity.

In my opinion a tandem is the best long term option as it will be useful when they are fully grown.
