Accessories for trailers

Accessories for trailers in the Sportano shopBicycle trailers are gaining popularity as a practical solution for transporting children, pets and even luggage during cycling trips. However, in order to use them to their full potential, it is worth sourcing the right accessories to increase functionality, safety and comfort. From a jogging wheel and passenger seat to a rain cover and trailer bag, each of these accessories has its own significance and can significantly improve the experience of using a bike trailer. In the trailer accessories category of the Sportano shop, you will find high-quality products from renowned brands such as Thule, Qeridoo, Burley or FollowMe.Jogging wheel: transform a bike trailer into a jogging strollerThe jogging wheel is an innovative accessory that allows you to transform a traditional bike trailer into a functional jogging pram. It is ideal for active parents who want to stay in shape and share their sporting passions with their children. Fitting the wheel is usually simple and intuitive, allowing you to quickly switch the function of the trailer from bicycle to jogging trailer. The jogging wheel is usually larger than standard trailer wheels, providing better stability and a smoother ride on different surfaces. Its design also ensures ease of manoeuvrability, which is key when jogging, especially around bends and over terrain with obstacles. Another important aspect is the cushioning system, which minimises shocks and ensures a comfortable ride for the child, even on uneven surfaces. The jogging wheels available on the market often have an adjustable handle that allows the height to be adjusted to the user's height, ensuring a comfortable and ergonomic running position. Some models are also equipped with additional features such as a handbrake, which increases the control of the trailer, especially on steep paths.Seat for a bike trailer: ensure the comfort and safety of your passengersThe seat for a bike trailer is a key element to ensure the comfort and safety of small passengers. Choosing the right seat is important to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for children. Modern trailer seats are often equipped with soft cushions to provide comfort during the ride and with seat belts to keep the child in a safe position. An important aspect is the material from which the seat is made. It should be durable, easy to clean and weatherproof. Additional features such as adjustable backrests and headrests can further increase comfort, especially on long journeys. Safety is a priority, so it is worth paying attention to the quality of the seat belts. They should be robust, easy to adjust and provide a stable anchorage for the child. Some seats are equipped with five-point belt systems, which provide the best protection by evenly distributing the forces on the child's body in the event of shocks. Additional accessories such as sun visors or mosquito nets can further enhance the functionality of the seat, protecting your child from the sun, wind and insects. Some seats are also modular, allowing you to adapt them to your growing child, which is an economical and practical solution in the long run. When choosing a seat for your bike trailer, it is worth paying attention to the opinions of other users and the reputation of the manufacturer to ensure that the chosen accessory meets all expectations in terms of both comfort and safety.Rain cover: an essential accessory in changing weather conditionsA rain cover for a bike trailer is an absolute must for anyone planning bike tours whatever the weather. It is particularly important in climates where rainy days are common, and also on longer trips where changing weather conditions are almost certain. Such a cover not only ensures a dry and comfortable ride for the passengers of the trailer, but also protects the luggage stored in it. Rain covers are usually made of waterproof materials such as nylon or polyester, which effectively protect against rain, snow and wind. They are often equipped with transparent windows that allow passengers to observe their surroundings while still providing sufficient light inside the trailer. Ventilation is also an important feature - good rain covers have built-in ventilation systems that prevent condensation and ensure adequate air circulation. Another important aspect is the ease of fitting and removing the cover. In many cases, these covers are designed so that they can be quickly fitted to the trailer in the event of a sudden change in weather, and just as easily removed and stored once the rain has passed. Some models of guards are also foldable, making them easy to store when not in use. Bike trailer bag: a solution for storage and transport The bike trailer bag is a practical solution that allows the trailer to be easily stored and transported when not in use. It is particularly useful for people who do not have a lot of space at home or in the garage, as well as for those who travel frequently with their trailer. These bags are usually made of sturdy materials that are resistant to damage and weather conditions. This protects the trailer from dust, moisture and other external factors that could damage it during storage. Many bag models also come with convenient handles or shoulder straps for easy carrying. The size of the bag is usually sized to fit the folded trailer, meaning that the trailer can be packed quickly and easily without the need to remove additional components such as wheels. Some bags also have additional pockets for accessories, which is very practical as it allows you to store all trailer-related items in one place. A bicycle trailer bag is not only practical but also an economical solution. It protects the trailer from damage and prolongs its life, which is important especially for more expensive models. It is also an excellent way to keep things tidy and organised, which is crucial for those who value convenience and efficiency both during the preparation for and after the tour.
