![]() ![]() Now don't hold my feet to the fire on this one. Now in my experience, looking at all the sixthreezero bikes, for the most part, and most bikes out there, most front seats, rear seats, and child trailers can be attached to most bikes. So the other thing is you need to make sure that your bike is even capable of mounting a seat, whether it be front, rear, or trailer. So I would lean towards the Every Journey or the Around the Block. Our Cruiser Around the Block does as well, but that step through height on the Around the Block is a little bit higher than the Every Journey. So there are some, if you're looking at our bikes, in particular, the Every Journey has a decently low step-through or Body Ease bike has an even lower step through. Don't ask me why, that's been the design and it stuck through the ages, but that's typically how it is. Now, typically women's frames do have a lower step-through height than most men's. My suggestion would just be a lower step-through height. I'm not saying it's impossible and it can be done. ![]() Again, if, if you're higher up, it's going to be more difficult to get your feet down and maintain that weight. Having a lower step-through is going to be advantageous and more safe for you to come to a stop and not having to worry about balance. Something that has a higher top tube, it's going to be a little bit dangerous if you have to stop and balance the bike, and you're going to have that added weight, whether your child is on a front-mounted seat or rear-mounted seat, or the trailer, that weight of those things is going to pull on the bike. And I say this because especially if you have kids in the seat with you, you want to make sure when you're stopping, you can very easily get your feet onto the ground. So, number one, I think really important when looking to ride with your children, either on a seat attached to the bike or a trailer, you really want something with a low step-through height. ![]() And I'll narrow it down to a few categories for you. I'm going to give you some of the features and options that I think are a good idea. So the question then is what kind of bike should you choose and what would work well, if you do want to bring your kids with you? So I'm not going to necessarily tell you a specific bike to choose from. So I think six months is probably a good age where they can hold their head up and you could get them strapped into the bike. ![]() That's obviously up to you and the child, but typically kids don't have enough head strength to sit upright really before the age of three months at the absolute soonest. Now I wouldn't necessarily advocate for bringing children on bike rides in a trailer or a seat less than six months of age. And let's talk about it as if you're going to bring the children with you on the bike or attached to the bike in some fashion. First, I'm going to start with children ages six months to four years. I think number one is what type of riding are you going to do? How old are your children? So let's try to break this up into a couple of different segments. So when looking for a bike to ride with your children, I think there are many factors to consider, many questions to ask. Today I'm going to talk about what is the best mom bike or what is the best bike for moms to ride with their kids? I get a lot of questions or we get a lot of questions around riding with your children, both on the front seat or the rear seat, and what is the best bike to choose for you? So let's talk about it. Hey guys, Dustin here, CEO of sixthreezero. ![]()
