Center Parcs bikes - 6 year old with broken arm

7 replies

We're going to Center Parcs next week and my 6 year old daughter has broken her forearm. She's in a cast from fingers up to her mid-upper arm.

Obviously I won't be letting her ride her bike, but I'm not sure whether she's now too big for a trailer. The website just says she has to be below the rollbar, but there's no measurements
The alternative is a child bike attachment thing so she can pedal along attached to DH's bike. Do you suppose that would be allowed?

The 4 year old has a bike but I'm unsure if it's worth getting a trailer for him too, when he's tired. I won't have a bike as I have 3 month old DS in the pram or sling, so the trailer could do them both maybe.

I don't really know what to book! Any advice greatly received.

*When I say both in the trailer, I mean 6yo and 4yo, not baby

I think there is a weight limit for the trailer. Worth checking. If they are smallish they should both fit.

If you’re walking maybe you should just all walk? Even if a 6 and a 4 year old fitted in the trailer it would be pretty heavy to tow.

Which Center Parcs are you going to?

We go to the Longleat one, and after the first few times we stopped taking bikes, find it easier to walk or use the land train

We're going to Whinfell, I don't think they have a train? I'm not sure how big the site is or how hilly either.

There’s no train at Whinfell, it’s quite hilly.

The 4 year old is very petite, in age 2 clothes still, and the 6 year old is on the small end of average.

Do you think not biking would be fairly disappointing for them? Surely all the other kids will be whizzing about on bikes?
