After riding with little N we've learned a few things.
1. You need a good trailer. We have the Burley Honey Bee and I love it. It is made for 2 little people and has storage behind the seat. The trailer also can be used as a stroller which I love that, and when you're not using the handle it folds down toward the front and adds an additional support. We bought an extra add in to make the chair a little more comfy for little N.
2. Sunscreen. Even though baby is in the trailer, the trailer doesn't provide any sun protection. If you notice in the video there was my long sleeve shirt hanging over the trailer, that's because even though we put sunscreen on her I didn't want her in the straight sun. We use the Babyganics brand and really love it. I personally haven't tried any of the other brands on little N, but I use Neutropena on myself and because I have eczema and CeraVe is eczema friendly.
3. Panniers. Good panniers mean happy ride and happy stay. Everything stays clean and dry. I borrowed my dads Ortlieb bags and we did encounter a little rain and everything I had including my camera stayed dry. The Ortliebs worked great for our trip, but I also have the Axiom ones and they are perfect for every day rides. The Axiom ones do come will yellow rain covers if you need to throw them on. I had 4 bags total, 2 in the front and 2 in the back. When you pack your load you'll want to put more weight on the front wheel than back, this is something I didn't know.
