Good to know
What for
- Take one or two children out at the weekend without buying a trailer.
- Bring home the shopping or a big purchase by bike rather than by car.
- Tow garden or DIY equipment to an allotment or a building site.
How to choose
- Child trailer or cargo trailer. The first has a cabin with seat belts or a harness. The second is a platform or a box for equipment. Never put a child in a cargo trailer.
- Seats and weight. A child trailer takes one or two children, up to the maximum load the manufacturer gives. Stay within it, children and luggage together.
- Approval. For children, choose an approved trailer that meets the EN 15918 standard.
- The hitch. It attaches to the frame or the rear axle, depending on the trailer. Ask the owner whether it fits your bike, especially if you have disc brakes.
What to check at handover
- The seat belts or harnesses, properly adjusted, plus the canopy and the rain cover.
- The hitch fixed on your bike and the safety strap attached.
- The wheels, tyres and parking brake, plus the safety flag and the steady red rear light.
- The item's condition recorded together in the app, with photos, at pick-up and on return.
Rent or buy?
Children grow fast. A child trailer is only used for a few years, then fills the garage. Renting lets you try it with your bike and your children before buying, or use it for just one summer.
Common questions
From what age can a child ride in a bike trailer?
Belgium sets no minimum age for carrying a child by bike. In practice, the trailer's manual gives the age or height the manufacturer recommends, and a toddler must be able to sit and stay well supported. For a baby, ask your paediatrician for advice.
How do I strap a child into a bike trailer?
Use the trailer's 3 or 5 point harness and always strap the child in, even for a short trip. Close the canopy, check the parking brake before you put the child in, and ride more gently. The trailer changes how the bike handles and you need more distance to brake.
Is there a deposit?
Between individuals, no: Loutou doesn't manage deposits. Only the booking amount is held on your card when you send a request. A professional can set a deposit on their listing; it's paid in person at handover and appears in the handover condition.
How do handover and return work?
In person, at a time you arrange with the owner. At handover and at return, the owner records the item's condition: a checklist and photos. You check it from your account until midnight the next day: confirm it, or report a disagreement with a photo. If the item doesn't match the listing, don't take it and write to us.
When is my card charged, and can I cancel?
When you send a request, the amount is only held on your card, not charged. It's charged once the owner accepts; with no agreement within 24 hours, nothing is charged. You can cancel until the rental starts, under the listing's policy: flexible, moderate or strict.
