Taga is a way for parents to commute and drop their kids off at nursery/school at the same time.

It's a bicycle which can carry up to 2 children and it also turns into a buggy.

As stockists we wanted to find out your opinions on this - do you think this would be useful for parents wanting to commute?

Could it be used for dropping the kids off at the pool?

Ignore Billy Boy. He's only just a grown up himself. Wink

Basic but functional system. Nice to be able to see the child rather than have the child signalling to traffic unseen behind you. I'd have used it with my two sons instead of the classic bike seat had they been available when my children were small Very Happy

I know this is very late after the thread started....only just seen it Embarassed

My kids are 3 & 6 yrs so a little old for this now, but I really like it. Looks far nicer than traditional bike seats as KJ says. Plus if your kids weigh a tonne like mine, I think may be easier to use to commute on?

I can't tell that well from pictures I have googled, but it doesn't look like there is that much in the way of storage - for example most buggies have baskets underneath for the zillion and one things you need for a child. I think some sort of storage bag would be useful if not already part of the design.

Otherwise I really like it Very Happy

I'm hoping to get this for my 3 & 6 year old Girls

Glad they can help propel their useless cyclist Dad down the road a bit
