The Best bike trailers for kids help you bring your wee ones on a ride with you from a young age. Many will have options to carry really young children, even before they're ready to sit up. Once they can sit comfortably, they'll love sitting in their buggy behind you and, who knows, they may soon want to pedal too. 

We've got options below that have that covered right through until they can ride along with you on one of the best kids' bikes. An alternative to a bike trailer is a cargo bike, many of which have accessories to convert them for passenger use.
