[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my 4yo son is very low tone.  my older DC uses a trail a bike to go on long rides with us.  i think my DS is probably too tall for the bike seat on the back of my bike (he is super tall).  he definitely is not strong enough to use a trail a bike for any length of time.  do i need to buy him a trailer?  i would love to use a recumbent trail a bike or something along those lines...i saw something by Weehoo https://www.bikekidshop.com/weehoo-igo-venture-bike-trailer-cycle-2014-p-3446.html  but man it is pricey!!!  i am wondering if there is something else out there.  thanks![/quote]

I would think the trail a bike would work, the adult would have to work harder.   Why do yo think he would not be strong enough to sit on the trail a bike for long periods?  How long are your long rides?  [/quote]

OP here, it is not the pedaling but just holding on to the handlebar AND keeping himself upright/balanced so that he does not fall off.  his hand grasping ability is only 9% and he has very weak core muscles.  no way can he remain upright for very long.[/quote]

Okay, now I understand.  I agree, the recumbent looks cool.  I like the PP's idea of a bigger seat, that makes the trip nicer for him- he can see better.  [/quote]
