Where do I look for one of those trailer/half bike type thing for children to use at back of parent's bike?

[Hulababy]

No idea what they are called! But have seen others with them.

It is like half a bike that attches to back of parent's bike. Child then pedals behind, but parent pulls them along.

They're called tagalongs, I think. Sorry, don't know about stockists.

THanks. Can google now

I've got one, it's great

just looking at This in wilkos - bargain price.

I looked at that but it says for bikes from 16 inchs. DD's bike is only 14 inch.

Halfords do them

Argos have one here

That looks a good alternative jura. And certainly cheaper than the tagalong things.

They don't need to be that big to go on a tagalong - they don't have to be able to rest a foot on the floor, obviously, because you do that for them.

Oh, and we got ours from the local bike shop.

DD is 5 and just above average height, so assuming she'd be okay.

She would absolutely be ok. I think DS1 started going on ours when he was 4, although he is tall.

So do I need a £100 (almost) tagalong - do they come cheaper somewhere??? - or is the Wilkinson's gadget thing just as good?

DON'T but a tagalog. Buy a Trailgator, we did and it's miles better. Basically you can set off on a bike ride and so do they on theirs. When they get tired you simply attach dc's bike to yours - (the whole bike after flipping up the special stabilisers) and they come along with you. Once rested or out of the dangerous road situation, unhitch them and they pedal solo again. So you have the best of both worlds

Try e-bay or ask at school you may find a year 2 parent has one languishing in the garage.

yogabird - is the Trailgator like the Wilkinson's thing then?

At present DD can't cycle without stabilisers. We have have just taken them off and she has managed about 3 seconds cycling unaided. So will be a while before she can manage far on her own I should thing. But there again, maybe it will just click soona nd off she'll be!

I don't think attaching their bike to yours works if they have stabilisers on their bike, does it?

Sorry probably wasn't clear. There are no stabilisers on DD's bike. We have taken them off.

The Wilkos thing is a Trailgator, and a jolly good price, too.

NQC, you can get special flip-up stabilisers to use with a trailgator, but you have to buy them from the Trailgator manufacturers.

Ah, fair enough. We don't do stabilisers.

jura - that other one is £10 P&P though!
