i use a yepp next maxi for my 4 year old, but our total weight is lower. 20kg bike 87kg for me and she’s around 18-20kg i think. so maybe 125-130kg total with backpacks, locks, school stuff etc. zero issues with a couple years of urban riding. london is very flat, so you have a big advantage there
i would not in a million years ride around the city with a kid in a trailer. zero confidence that a car would see such a low seat behind me - i’d know she was back there, would a car merging across the bike lane or pulling out of a parking spot give me that extra 3 feet of space?
