Our first cycle tour with baby wasn’t a real tour but a test tour; to check our gear and see how the little guy responded to touring in the trailer. We decided to ride to a mountain village with baby and trailer and stay there, taking turns at doing rides in the Alps each day.

We found that the little guy was happy in the trailer for a couple of hours, especially if the ride was timed with his naps. We became adept at pulling off the road if the little guy made noise, to check on him, take a break; do a nappy change, feed, play, and chill out and enjoy the countryside.

The Cutest Bike Themed Baby Clothes

This style of tour a is a practical way to start touring with your baby as you quickly see what you do need (easy access to nappies and wet wipes while on the road) and what you don’t (a wardrobe of baby clothes), and what works with baby and what doesn’t.

This option is also ideal if you want to do some serious riding without a trailer in tow during your days at base.
