Bicycles built to transport children
Bicycles built to transport children
I had fallen in love with TAGA Stroller from the first second I saw it, on the internet, on facebook: one picture and a world opened up for me, - could it be possible?!
My son had just been born and my bicycle was parked in the garage, forever?!
What caught my eye was unbelievable and promised so much, to use the bike and go out without a car already in the first year of my son's life, in fact in the first few months. I couldn't believe it, this bike was to become mine, ours.
Only later did I discover that TAGA's practicality doesn't end there, it's also a pram, wow! 20 seconds and it's done, you do your shopping without the little one being disturbed, another 20 seconds and you're on your bike again, INCREDIBLE!
I have used it for 3 years and still use it to get around the city, the conversion to a pushchair I use less and less, I go out with the TAGA however several times a day, winter/summer, except for the deluge like today, but only because our city floods and we rather need a boat or a shuttle bike, why not, it could become an idea for the next third TAGA model!
In the meantime, the second one has arrived, and when I heard that it doesn't convert into a pushchair, I wondered “what's the point then?”! The TAGA PASSEGGINO already has everything it needs!
Indeed!
Although I have seen TAGA's new model arouse interest, until I tried it, it was difficult for me to make a comparison except, of course, the price, the 300 euro difference for the cargo version could certainly make one think.
Now that I have tried it and must admit that I liked it, as someone who has used both, I can say: I would really have a hard time choosing between both.
My son is already three years old, he is very sporty, he rides a balance bike and walks nicely.
With the FAMILY I have the possibility of taking him to the park or to the promenade and also loading our balance bike, no longer on my back as I do now.
Considering that I mainly move around by bike, doing, like any mother, 10 things at once and trying to optimise time, the larger wheels and ample space in the basket is also quite useful. So today I would probably prefer the Family model.
No, I can't believe I actually thought that!
While for a child under two to three years of age, when the possibility of having not only a comfortable bike but also a pram is really essential, TAGA PASSEGGINO remains a model of preference. It is also smaller and lighter, the little genius of cargo bikes! With a baby you don't need a motor at all, I've always done without one. Even for two small children it's a pretty good solution.
With older children, over the age of 3, especially if they are 2 years old, or for mothers like me who always carry the house with them, the TAGA FAMILY might be the best solution.
I don't know if I have answered your doubts, so if not, here is the comparison table, maybe it will help you decide!
