The Nordic Cab Active was a versatile and flexible child trailer, produced between 2016 and 2018. Designed for active families, it functioned as a bike trailer, stroller, jogger, and sled, similar to our current Explorer model.
While Nordic Cab Active was a well-designed and innovative trailer, it is no longer in production. Today, we recommend the Nordic Cab Explorer as a more future-proof choice, offering better availability of spare parts and accessories.
What Was Active?
The Nordic Cab Active 5-in-1 was designed as a multi-functional child trailer, with the ability to be used as:
- Bike Trailer
- Stroller
- Jogger
- Cross Country Ski-Sled/ Pulk
- Hiking Trailer
This made Nordic Cab Active 5-in-1 a popular choice for many families. However, the model was built on a different platform than Explorer, making it unique in terms of compatibility with accessories and spare parts.

Nordic Cab Active vs Explorer – What’s the Difference?
Although both Nordic Cab Active and Nordic Cab Explorer offer multi-functional features, there are key differences:

- Explorer has been continuously developed since 2006, offering a more adaptable and modern design.
- Availability of Spare Parts & Accessories
- As Active was discontinued in 2018, spare parts and accessories are now very limited.
- Explorer, on the other hand, has a full range of spare parts and accessories available in our online store.

- Active remains a good trailer, but Explorer offers a more modern, flexible, and future-proof design.
