Thule Courier

Thule Courier is built for families who do everything by bike: the school run in the morning, errands at midday, a ride out on Sunday. The cockpit seats two children — up to 22 kg each, 45 kg total capacity — with 56 cm of shoulder width and a 64 cm sitting height, leaving room for helmets and growing legs. A 5-point harness keeps everyone secure, and reflective wheels keep you visible at the end of the day.

Two strolling wheels and a bike trailer kit come in the box, so there's nothing extra to buy before your first ride. Hitch it to the bike for the journey, unhitch and stroll once you arrive — handy for the school gate or pedestrian streets. The handlebar adjusts in height to suit whichever parent is pushing. Adjustable rain and mesh covers are included, so a change in the weather doesn't cancel the outing, and a large, easy-access rear storage area swallows bags and coats.

When the kids stay home, FlipFlat technology folds the floor into cargo mode: a sturdy cargo floor and integrated attachment points keep your load where you put it. An optional dog trailer kit (sold separately) turns it into a dog trailer, complete with a soft bed and a roof cover. It suits children from 0 to 5 years — newborns need the optional Infant Sling.

Folded flat it measures 99 × 74 × 32 cm and weighs 17.4 kg, so it tucks into a hallway, a garage or a car boot without taking over. Like every Thule trailer, it's put through durability, wear and impact testing at the Thule Test Center in Hillerstorp, Sweden.
