Meet the Brand: Qeridoo
Let’s start at the top. Qeridoo isn’t some new player in the kid-trailer game. Based in Western Germany near the old capital Bonn, they’ve been crafting child transport systems for over two decades, with a focus on safety, comfort, and that classic German engineering reliability. The Kidgoo 1 FIDLOCK Edition is their sportier model—built for families that like to go long, fast, or both. Sure, it looks sharp—but what really matters is how well it handles everyday chaos. And that’s where it shines. The FIDLOCK magnetic closure system, borrowed from high-end cycling gear, is just one example of the thoughtful, no-nonsense approach.
COMFORT: Why your kid won’t want to get out
First, let’s talk kid vibes. My four-year-old isn’t exactly tiny anymore, but the legroom in this trailer? Absolute luxury. We’ve done longer rides and he’s stayed comfy the whole way, legs happily stretched out. Add in the comparably huge headroom and you’ve got a mini lounge on wheels.
The ride quality? Top-notch. The leaf spring damping system smooths out everything from cobblestones to forest trails. The low center of gravity not only boosts stability—it also makes pulling the trailer feel smoother and more controlled, especially during starts and stops. Acceleration feels snappy instead of sluggish, which is rare for anything that weighs more than your road bike.
And let’s not forget the removable floor mat. It’s basically the trailer’s doormat, catching every snack crumb, pebble, and mystery gunk your kid brings along for the ride. Thankfully, you can just pull it out and shake it clean. A detail that makes a big difference in day-to-day use.
SECURITY: Actual thought-through safety
This is where the Kidgoo 1 flexes its brains. Four slide-on deflectors with reflective strips protect the wheels and provide impact protection around the cargo area at head height. It’s smart, effective, and exactly what you want when riding through traffic – or in densely parked Mallorcan mountain villages.
What really stood out to me though is the visibility. The orange safety flag is mounted higher than usual – positioning its top over two meters from the ground. Add in reflective surfaces and an integrated rear light and you’ve got yourself a highly visible trailer, even in twilight. That’s no small thing when your playground visit runs long or your bike throws a mechanical and you’re limping home after sundown (been there, fixed that).
And for kid safety on the inside? The magnetic five-point harness system is quick to adjust and genuinely secure. The height adjustable handlebar can be flipped forward to act as an additional protector for the roof, rounding out the trailer’s more than solid safety concept. To adjust to the child’s size, Qeridoo offers all kinds of inserts: from the well-known baby seat to a headrest for the younger ones to seat cushions – they even have a hammock in store. Cozy!
AGILITY: Doesn’t just tag along, actually works with you
The trailer weighs in at 18 kilograms—putting it slightly behind the lightest offerings from Hamax or Thule, but still very much in the midfield. Thanks to its optimized drawbar and smooth coupling system, it doesn’t feel like it’s holding you back. In fact, it transitions so smoothly you might forget you’re pulling it—until your passenger starts requesting snacks.
Off-road? Totally doable. Gravel tracks, forest loops, light singletrack—it’s not a mountain goat, but it gets the job done.
And here’s a big win for tall folks like me (1.90m+) when it comes to running (or skating) with the trailer: the handlebar adjusts from 67 to 122 cm. That means no hunching, no wrist strain, just comfy cruising. Add the jogging front wheel and you’ve got a running partner that keeps up. Even without the separately sold wheel (see specs below), the trailer does a proper job when training for your next marathon, thanks to the adjustable handlebar and a buggy wheel that performs on any ground.
I only manage to go running maybe twice a month, but even then, the FIDLOCK bottle mount came in handy—easy to grab, easy to stash. If you use the Kidgoo 1 as a walking trailer, you’ll notice that a seemingly small detail does a big job: The air-filled buggy wheel rolls noticeably better than the wheels from solid rubber or plastic sometimes used on competing models.
URBAN SUITABILITY: Built for the city, but not for shopping
In the city, this trailer feels right at home. It attaches in seconds, stores its drawbar neatly underneath, and maneuvers like a pro through bike paths and narrow alleys. The only real downside? Storage. The 38-liter rear compartment sounds nice on paper, but the trapezoid shape means you might play a game of Tetris with snacks and clothes for changing in case you weren’t able to limit yourself on the carry-on luggage.
The 3-in-1 cover (insect, sun, and splash protection) fastens with magnetic FIDLOCK closures, which is a true gift if you’ve just one free hand. But it’s not just the front cover that helps to adjust to the weather conditions: The Velcro-made side sunshade is removable from the inside of the cabin ensuring an optimal climate for the kid.
The VERIDCT: Why your kid won’t want to get out
The Qeridoo Kidgoo 1 FIDLOCK Edition is a well-rounded, sport-leaning bike trailer that checks all the important boxes. It’s roomy, secure, stable, and fun to use—even on longer or rougher rides. At a suggested retail price of 949 Euros, it’s not exactly low-cost, but many shops offer it for less, putting it in a very attractive spot compared to other top tier brands whose respective models easily cost 1,2000 euros or more.
