Transporting children on cargo bikes has become an increasingly popular and convenient solution for many families around the world. This increase in the use of cargo bikes as a means of transportation for children reflects a trend towards more sustainable and flexible transportation options. With a growing concern for the environment and a desire to integrate a more active lifestyle into everyday life, the cargo bike has gained ground as a safe, convenient and socially accepted alternative to traditional modes of transportation. Let’s explore the safety, benefits and some lessons learned in using cargo bikes to transport children.

Safety in focus

The safety of transporting children on cargo bikes is crucial and has been a focus area. Cargo bike designers have integrated specific safety measures, such as harness-protected seats, strong kickstands for stability while parking and driving, and powerful brakes to ensure a reliable stopping function.

In addition, the use of bicycle helmets is recommended for both adults and children to minimize the risk of injury in the event of an accident. Legislation and guidelines vary from place to place, but overall, there is a constant focus on improving the safety of children while riding cargo bikes to minimize risks.

Selecting the type and model

Choosing the best cargo bike for kids depends on various factors such as number of children, age, comfort and primary use. There are different models on the market, such as two-wheeled cargo bikes, three-wheeled models and so-called “Long John” cargo bikes – which have a long loading surface in front of the handlebars.
