PURCHASING HELP
Yes, the Nordic Cab bike trailer will fit your bike!
In some cases, you may need an adapter.
Every Nordic Cab bike trailer comes with a bike tow bar and standard bike hitch mount. However, bike brands use different axle and frame solutions, so an adapter might be necessary in some cases. This isn’t unique to Nordic Cab – it applies to all bike trailers.
We offer the largest selection of bike trailer adapters on the market. If you need a solution, we’ve got you covered.
Check out our Bike Trailer Hitch Adapter Guide.

Yes. The Nordic Cab canopy is designed to provide excellent protection against the elements. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features
- Water-Repellent Material: The canopy is made from highly water-repellent fabric with three layers of rubber coating on the interior.
- Waterproof Zippers: All zippers are waterproof, adding extra protection against rain.
- Integrated Windows: Includes a removable front and side window for added convenience.
Performance in Heavy Rain
While the canopy offers strong water resistance, heavy rain may cause a small amount of water to seep into the corners. However, this is carefully designed to drain out the back, ensuring your child stays dry and comfortable.
Additional Protection
To enhance the weatherproofing and longevity of your Nordic Cab, consider these additional accessories:
Tailored Rain Cover
The tailored rain cover provides extra protection against heavy rain and harsh conditions. It’s particularly useful if:
- You plan to use the Nordic Cab in all weather conditions.
- The Cab will be stored outdoors without shelter.
- You frequently use it on muddy or rough roads.
The rain cover not only offers added water resistance but also helps reduce wear and tear, extending the canopy’s lifespan.
Storage Cover
If your Nordic Cab will be stored outdoors, especially in direct sunlight or without a roof, the storage cover is a great investment. This cover:
- Shields the canopy and other parts from UV damage caused by prolonged sun exposure.
- Provides protection against dirt, dust, and weather elements.
- Helps preserve the Cab’s appearance and durability for long-term use.
Both accessories are designed to ensure your Nordic Cab stays in excellent condition, no matter the environment or usage. Contact us or visit our shop to learn more about these protective solutions!
Maintenance Tips
To maintain and improve water resistance over time:
- Reapply waterproofing treatment periodically.
- Use sprays or treatments designed for children’s clothing or similar materials.
By following these guidelines, your Nordic Cab canopy will provide long-lasting protection and comfort, no matter the weather! Let me know if you’d like further adjustments.
The maximum weight capacity of the Nordic Cab depends on how it is being used. Here’s a breakdown:
- As a Bike Trailer for Children
When used as a bike trailer for children, we recommend not exceeding a total weight of 60 kg (132 lbs).- The trailer itself weighs 16.5 kg (36.5 lbs), leaving 43.5 kg (95.5 lbs) for children and any additional items.
- This limitation is based on safety considerations for cycling, including braking distance and maneuverability.
- For Cargo Transport
When used in cargo mode, the recommended maximum load is 60 kg (132 lbs). However, if you are using the cargo version as a bike trailer, the maximum load is reduced to 54 kg (119 lbs) to meet bike trailer safety standards. - Other Applications (Pram, Pushchair, Sled, etc.)
For other applications, such as a pram, sled, or pushchair, there are no strict weight limitations. The trailer is built to handle significantly more weight, but always ensure safe and balanced loading for optimal performance and longevity.
The Nordic Cab is designed for versatility and durability, accommodating various needs while prioritizing safety in all scenarios. If you have specific questions about weight capacity or usage, feel free to contact us!
Not at all! While the Nordic Cab, especially combination models with multiple functions, comes with several components, the assembly process is straightforward and user-friendly.
The primary steps involve attaching the top frame to the bottom box using the included locking pins and connecting the bracket to the caster at the front. These steps are clearly outlined in our detailed manual and installation guide, available both in print and online.
We’ve designed the Nordic Cab with ease of use in mind, ensuring you can quickly and confidently set it up. If you need help, our guides and customer support team are always available to assist.
The seat backs in the Nordic Cab are designed to be adjusted together, not independently. This unique seat makes the Nordic Cab stand out as the only multi-sport trailer and ski sled of its kind with such a flexible, adjustable seat. The seat provides exceptional comfort and support while adapting to your child’s needs.
If you require independently adjustable seat backs, we offer the “Split Seat Back” accessory, which allows each seat to be adjusted separately. This is perfect for families with children of different ages or varying needs, enabling one seat to recline while the other remains upright.
Yes, the Nordic Cab is designed to accommodate two children, even when one of them is using the baby seat.
The baby seat can be installed in two ways:
- Centered Position: Ideal for single-child use, providing optimal balance and comfort.
- Side Position: Perfect for when you’re carrying two children. The baby seat is positioned to one side, leaving enough room for the second child to sit comfortably.
Additionally, if you need to use two baby seats, it is possible to mount them side by side. This setup ensures that both children, even babies, can travel together safely and comfortably.
The Nordic Cab’s flexibility makes it an excellent choice for families with young children. If you have questions about installation or configuration, feel free to contact us or consult our installation guide.
The Nordic Cab is designed to grow with your family, offering functionality as a bike trailer, ski sled/pulk, stroller, jogger, or hiking companion. Its versatile design accommodates children from birth up to around 6-8 years old, depending on their height and needs.
The Nordic Cab Explorer comes well-equipped for various activities but can be customized with accessories like baby seats, wool liners, foot muffs, head support and many more to suit different ages and needs.
Discover all accessories here.
For Newborns (0–9 Months):
- The Nordic Cab can be used from birth, either with the addition of a baby seat (supporting up to 9 kg) or by adjusting the standard seat to a flat position. For optimal comfort, you may need to “snuggle” the seat with accessories like wool liners, a baby nest, or foot muffs. Many stroller accessories you already own can also work with the Nordic Cab.
- For ski sled/pulk use, carefully consider the weather, temperature, and trip duration. Always monitor your baby to ensure they remain warm and comfortable, and adjust the trip length as you would with a stroller.
For Babies and Toddlers (9 Months and Older):
- When using the Nordic Cab as a bike trailer, the child must be at least 9 months old and able to hold their head and neck up independently.
- EU bike trailer standards recommend keeping the seat angled, not reclined, and ensuring the back straps are securely tightened.
For Older Children (Up to 6-8 Years):
- The Nordic Cab offers plenty of room, with 71 cm from the bottom of the seat to the ceiling. Most children can comfortably use it until around age 6-8, depending on their height.
- As a ski sled/pulk, it’s particularly valuable for longer trips. While children aged 3–8 may want to ski themselves, having a place to rest in the sled can make outdoor adventures more enjoyable for everyone.
The Nordic Cab’s flexible design ensures your family can enjoy outdoor activities, from cross-country skiing and snowshoeing to biking and jogging, for years to come. If you have any specific questions about suitability for your child, feel free to contact us!
Absolutely! The Nordic Cab is designed to comfortably accommodate one child when needed.
For optimal comfort, you can:
- Place the child on the right-hand side (in the direction of travel).
- Adjust the harness and cushion to center the child for better balance and comfort.
We do not offer a single-child model because the EU safety standard for bike trailers requires a minimum width of 75 cm between the tires to prevent tipping. The Nordic Cab is 78 cm wide, offering excellent stability while remaining compact. The difference between a single- and double-width trailer would be minimal, so our design prioritizes versatility for families.
Whether you’re using the Nordic Cab as a bike trailer, ski sled / pulk, or stroller, it’s perfectly suited for one child or two, providing comfort and safety in any setup.
The Nordic Cab is designed with a focus on simplicity, durability, and versatility, making it a trusted choice for families since 2007. While it does not have conventional suspension, it offers a combination of thoughtful features that deliver a smooth and comfortable ride:
Key Features for Comfort
- Hanging Seat Design: The flexible, free-hanging seat absorbs shocks effectively, minimizing bumps for your child.
- Large Air-Filled Tires: Standard 1.95″ tires. These act as natural shock absorbers, providing excellent cushioning on uneven surfaces.
- Optional Balloon Tires: For those seeking even more damping, we offer balloon tires that enhance the smoothness of the ride. We also have Grave tires and Studded tires for different use.
Why No Traditional Suspension?
- Multi-Sport Versatility: Traditional suspension systems are most effective when used as a bike trailer. However, the Nordic Cab is designed for multiple uses, including as a ski sled / pulk, stroller, and hiking companion. A simple, solid construction ensures reliability across all terrains and activities.
- Proven Design: Nordic Cab has been sold since 2007 without conventional suspension, and feedback shows that most customers are satisfied with the smooth ride provided by the hanging seat and air-filled tires.
- Stability and Safety: Basic suspension systems on lower-cost bike trailers can sometimes cause bouncing and instability on uneven terrain, reducing both comfort and safety. The Nordic Cab prioritizes a stable, balanced ride.
A Ride You Can Trust
The Nordic Cab’s design ensures comfort and safety across all activities, from cycling to cross-country skiing. For those who desire additional damping, our optional balloon tires offer an easy upgrade without compromising the trailer’s solid, reliable construction.
Explore the Nordic Cab’s versatility and experience a ride built for families and adventures!
The Nordic Cab ski sled / pulk stands out due to its meticulously engineered skis, developed in collaboration with experts like Knut Nystad, former chief ski technician for the Norwegian national cross-country ski team.
Key Pulk Advantages:
- Superior Glide: Crafted from specially selected low-friction plastic, the skis offer exceptional glide, enhancing your skiing experience.
- Optimal Balance: Dedicated attachment points ensure the sled maintains perfect balance, providing a stable and secure ride for your child.
- Enhanced Stability: Guide rails underneath the skis prevent lateral sliding on slopes, maintaining direction and control even on challenging terrains.
- Excellent Floatation: The skis’ width allows them to function effectively in loose snow, preventing the sled from sinking and ensuring smooth movement across various snow conditions.
- Maneuverability: The twin-tip design facilitates easy handling, making it simpler to navigate turns and uneven surfaces.
Unlike competitors that often repurpose standard children’s skis, Nordic Cab’s skis are purpose-built for sled use, ensuring superior performance and safety.
For a comprehensive overview of the benefits of using the Nordic Cab as a ski sled/pulk, visit our detailed guide.
The Explorer 6-in-1 comes fully equipped with everything needed to use all its functions: bike trailer, ski sled/pulk, stroller, jogger, hiking cart, and cargo trailer.
It is our best-selling model, offering unparalleled versatility and functionality for outdoor adventures, ensuring you’re ready for any activity right out of the box.
Yes! 😊 The Nordic Cab seat offers a unique design that can be adjusted to any position, including a fully horizontal flat bed. This provides an optimal sleeping position for your child, ensuring they can relax comfortably while you enjoy your adventure.

- Maneuverability: The twin-tip design facilitates easy handling, making it simpler to navigate turns and uneven surfaces.
Unlike competitors that often repurpose standard children’s skis, Nordic Cab’s skis are purpose-built for sled use, ensuring superior performance and safety.
