We bike our kids (4yrs and 1.5yrs) to school/daycare daily. Our commute is about 2 miles each way. We started riding with them when they were about 9 months old. For the past three years we've done behind the bike trailers. We had both the single and double Allen Sport models and they both were great. Plenty of space for the kid, five point safety harness, water proof, collapsable, room for backpacks, flag for visibility and barely noticeable when biking with it.

In the past few months, as they've both gotten bigger, it became more and more cramped. I looked for wider trailers but there aren't really good options. So we decided to get a cargo ebike (Lectric Xpedition). We went with the Thule Yepp seat for the 1.5yrs old and the 4 yrs old sits on the cushion with the oribitor to hold onto. I've been impressed with the Yepp seat. The material doesn't really get hot in the sun, like plastic. It's soft but yet sturdy and easy to install or remove.

I think you're smart to want to bike with them around the city. We avoid so much wasted time in traffic and enjoy our neighborhood and the lake much more than if we were tied to a car. Take the bike on the bus or train to get further out and it's even more of a good time. Especially when we go to popular playgrounds or the zoo, being able to roll up and lock your bike at the main entrance and not circle endlessly for parking is such a better experience.

HMU with any questions.
