hi -

I am a beginner getting into the biking

(1) Which is the best option for taking my 3 year old daugher (32 lbs) - bike seat or bike trailer? I will appreciate if some one can share the pros and cons

(2) I got a MOTIV bike from COSTCO club ($180). If bike seat is the best option, how do I find out which brand/model fits this MOTIV bike.

thanks

At that size, trailer. Another year and trailer-bike is your best bet.

Bikes are pretty standard in their sizes, unless it's an oddball most anything will fit

We just bought a bike seat for our little guy (13mo) and they say the weight limit is 40#. So I guess I would go with a trailer to get the most bang for the buck. We bought the CoPilot Limo and LOVE it in case you are wondering about a baby seat. It's awesome!! :D
