    FWIW we have a bike trailer (which doubles as a pram) - it's great! true you do need to have kidlets who are old enough for a helmet anyway, but a trailer is a great way to travel. DH never rides on the road with them, only bike paths (incidentally, if you are in victoria you can legally ride on the footpath with a kiddie trailer, because you are accompanying a child under 12 years of age).

    Our trailer is a Trek, but Chariot make them also. The Chariots are very cool.

    And for those who have kids who hate their trailer, try and try again. I dunno if you will think this is like telling a granny how to suck eggs, but babies change so quickly that what they hate at 1 they have forgotten about by 18 months!

    The Wee-ride and the Bobike are similar concepts and available in Australia. We got our Bobike Mini on eBay.

    It's a nice size, might look small because it doesn't have a high back? Here is Punk in ours when we first got it. I think they are supposed to fit until around 4yo, but Punk is tall - haven't had her in it for a while because a) Too lazy to pump up my flat tyre & b) Big'ol bump in the way lol.
