Bike riding is a great activity for mums with little ones. Not having a car makes biking with baby a practical option, and most people prefer this activity to driving. Bike riding is a safe activity as long as parents take informed risks. But there are some important safety tips to keep in mind when biking with a small child. Read on for more information. This article outlines the most important safety tips for parents biking with a baby.
When bringing a toddler on your bike, be prepared for a meltdown. Make sure to pack snacks and a bottle of water. Test the bike before purchase and make sure that it is suitable for your little one. Start small and stick to the driveway at first, and be patient and relaxed. The sooner you can introduce your little one to biking, the easier it will be for both of you. The best way to get started is with a balance bike or trike.
If you’re unsure of what to do, you should first check local laws on biking with your baby. Many states forbid bikes for children under the age of six months and require all children to wear helmets while biking. Babies cannot wear a helmet yet, so you should find out if this is necessary in your state before you take your child out cycling. As a general rule, wait until your baby is one year old before starting your bike rides. Younger children have stronger necks and won’t be as prone to injury as they are when they are younger.
