Great article. Our daughter is two and we started riding last year with an Ibert we were given on my wife’s bike and a rear mounted seat we found for free but she outgrew them in a season. Now we have a Mac Ride seat that mounts between the handlebars and seat that we can switch between our bikes. We also have a couple bike trailers, one used we got years before she was born and the other a hand me down, that we mostly use for cargo but occasionally she asks to ride in them. We have been thinking about what’s next since we have so much fun riding with her in front, very helpful information here!

Thanks for writing this awesome blog. We’ve done all this, including both single and double Chariots (used/clearance) with skis, as cargo for bike/backpacking, etc. We found that a sturdy double kickstand was essential for the front seat, which our kids also loved. We are looking at cargo e-bikes (and solar-powered heat pumps!) when we move from Alaska to the Sun Belt next year.
Bike trailers with skis sound incredibly awesome. Hope my stuff helps you on your solar powered heat pump path. If you have specific questions about it feel free to reach out with them in a comment here, or on Twitter.
