Bikes With Tykes

If any nation knows how to get kids efficiently from A to B, it’s the Dutch.

This practical bunch makes transporting babes on nifty bakfiets (cargo-bikes) look effortlessly cool. The engineers at Taga have taken things one step further by inventing a bike that transforms itself into a luxury stroller. Made from lightweight aluminum alloy, this three-wheeled beauty lets parents keep both feet on the pedals at all times—no tipping at traffic lights!—and toggles to a stroller in under 20 seconds. Each accommodates kiddies up to 55 lbs (add a second seat for younger sibs) and can be folded up for easy storage. Taga Bikes are investment pieces for sure but, thankfully, they’re built to last and pretty multi-functional. You can get adaptors for car seats, add side bags or a roomy shopping basket. The Bike-Stroller 1.0 model is available now, and the company’s brand new, state-of-the-art 2.0 Family-Bike has cool stuff like reclinable seats (for kids up to 77 lbs), lockable cargo, rain canopy and an electric option.

Pre-order now and you’ll be passing the Dutchies by July. Ja! —Marianne Wisenthal
