The Tales of AJU5, 6, and Now 7!: Ready to Go for a Ride!

Ready to Go for a Ride!

I bought AJU5 a bike helmet yesterday. So I thought I would try it out on her so she could get used to wearing it. The first time on put it on (see top photo) I crossed the straps in the front. It took me a few minutes to realize that I shouldn't have crossed them (doh!). She seems to like it though. Now we just need to buy a bike trailer. The only problem is that they are EXPENSIVE! If you have one (or know someone who does), what kind is it and what do you think about it? I have looked at quite a few online, but I am still not sure what I want. The only musts for me are:
1. Able to hold two kids (if I am going to spend money on something, I want to be able to use it for a few years at least).
2. Must be able to convert to a stroller or jogging stroller (I don't run, so the jogging is not necessary).

Sorry, I don't know a thing about bike trailers, though.; August 5, 2008 at 7:02 PM

Kate said...: Adorable! I don't know anything about bike trailers either. Or even bikes. Although part of me would really like to ditch my car for an SUB (like this one - http://www.xtracycle.com/). But I think I'm a long way off from that right now. And it meets pretty much none of your criteria, except the two kid thing.

So, so cute. Oh my goodness!; August 11, 2008 at 10:08 PM
