Hamax — Simple, sensible and very easy to live with
There's something very Scandinavian about Hamax: it doesn't feel as though it's trying too hard.
The trailers are nicely thought out, the range makes sense and the features tend to be there for a reason. That makes Hamax easy for us to recommend — particularly to families who want a good everyday trailer without turning the buying process into an engineering degree.
Move up the range and you get more comfort and versatility, but that straightforward character stays. They're the sort of trailers that quickly become part of the weekly routine.
- No-nonsense design — practical features, sensibly put together
- Family friendly — easy cycling-to-strolling versatility
- A clear range — easier to choose the level of comfort and capability you actually need

Which Hamax bike trailer is right for me?
Hamax offers specialist bike trailers for children, dogs and cargo, so the best model depends on who or what you want to transport and how you intend to use it.
For families, the Hamax range includes the Traveller, Breeze, Cocoon, Outback and Outback Next, ranging from practical everyday trailers to premium multi-activity models.
Dog owners can choose between the compact Milou S and the larger Pluto M and Pluto L, while the Hamax Venture and Venture+ are designed for carrying shopping, luggage, equipment and other cargo.
Hitch-A-Bike supplies Hamax bike trailers and accessories in the UK and can help you compare models and choose the most suitable trailer for your needs.
Hamax makes two categories of child-carrying gear: bike trailers and bike-mounted child seats.
Their child bike trailers — Traveller, Outback, Outback Next, Avenida, Breeze and Cocoon — carry one or two children in a fully enclosed cabin behind your bike.
Their child bike seats — Caress, Zenith, Amaze, Amiga, Siesta, Kiss — mount directly to your bike frame or rear rack and carry a single child.
Hamax also produces the Pluto dog trailer and the Venture cargo trailer.

What is the difference between Hamax Traveller, Breeze, Cocoon, Outback and Outback Next?
Hamax child bike trailers differ primarily in their comfort features, storage, seating and suitability for activities beyond everyday cycling.
The Traveller is the simple, practical option for cycling and strolling.
The Breeze has a sporty design and adds features suited to more active family use, while the Cocoon uses the same core frame concept but offers a more premium, urban-focused specification.
The Outback is a spacious multi-purpose trailer designed for cycling, strolling and more active outdoor use.
The newer Outback Next builds on the Outback concept with additional comfort and practical improvements, including four-position reclining seats, an upgraded front opening and an air-filled stroller wheel with suspension.
The best Hamax child trailer therefore depends on whether you want straightforward everyday transport or a more versatile trailer for regular family adventures.
The Breeze and Cocoon add design refinements, colour options and premium fabric finishes.
The Traveller is a two-seat trailer, while the Outback and the newer Outback Next are Hamax's higher-specification trailers with adjustable reclining seats and premium features for regular use.

Can Hamax child bike trailers be used as a stroller or buggy?
Yes. Current Hamax child bike trailers come with a bike arm and stroller wheel, allowing you to switch between cycling and walking.
This makes them useful for family days out, holidays, shopping and journeys where you want to cycle to a destination and then continue on foot.
Selected models offer additional activity options. Outback Next, Outback, Cocoon and Breeze can be equipped for different types of terrain and activities using compatible accessories, while Traveller is designed primarily for cycling and strolling.
Always check the accessories and permitted activities for your individual Hamax model before use.
Selected models — notably the Outback and Outback Next — accept an adjustable jogger kit with a 16" front wheel and disc brake for jogging.

Can a baby travel in a Hamax child bike trailer?
Hamax child bike trailers can be fitted with a compatible Hamax Baby Seat, allowing the trailer to be used with very young children in stroller mode.
There is an important distinction between walking with the trailer and towing it behind a bicycle. Age, developmental stage and permitted use should always be checked against the instructions for the specific Hamax trailer and Baby Seat before cycling.
The Baby Seat provides additional support for younger passengers who cannot yet use the trailer's standard child seating.
If you are buying a Hamax trailer specifically for use with a baby, check the current Baby Seat compatibility and age guidance for your chosen model before ordering.
For trailers, Hamax offers a dedicated Baby Insert — a hammock-style cocoon that supports babies who cannot yet sit unassisted. It fits selected Hamax trailers; check compatibility before ordering.
For bike seats, the minimum age is typically 9-12 months — the child must be able to independently support their head and sit upright, and the manufacturer's minimum age must always be checked for the specific seat model. The Siesta is one of the models designed for younger children.

Do Hamax child bike trailers have reclining seats and suspension?
Features vary according to the Hamax model.
Outback Next, Outback, Cocoon and Breeze offer adjustable reclining seats. Outback Next provides four reclining positions, while Outback, Cocoon and Breeze offer three.
On Cocoon and Breeze, the seats can be adjusted individually, which is particularly useful in a two-child trailer if one child wants to sleep while the other remains upright.
Outback and Outback Next recline both seats together.
Suspension and all-terrain features also vary by model, so if you regularly cycle on rougher paths or mixed surfaces, it is worth comparing the individual specifications rather than choosing purely on price.

Which Hamax dog bike trailer should I choose?
Hamax currently offers three main dog trailer sizes: Milou S, Pluto M and Pluto L.
Milou S is designed for small dogs weighing up to 20 kg.
Pluto M is suitable for small and medium-sized dogs weighing up to 35 kg, with a maximum recommended sitting height of approximately 63 cm.
The larger Pluto L is designed for bigger dogs, with a maximum sitting height of approximately 82 cm. It has a permitted load of up to 40 kg when cycling and 45 kg when used in stroller mode.
Weight should not be your only consideration. Your dog should also have enough internal space to sit and lie naturally and comfortably.

What is the difference between the Hamax Milou S, Pluto M and Pluto L dog trailers?
The biggest differences are size, carrying capacity and included features.
The Milou S is the compact option for smaller breeds and dogs up to 20 kg. It has front and rear entrances and a low entry, while its stroller kit is available separately.
The Pluto M provides considerably more room for small and medium-sized dogs up to 35 kg.
The Pluto L is the largest option, providing an internal area approximately 100 cm long, 54 cm wide and 80 cm high for larger breeds.
Pluto M and Pluto L also have side openings in addition to front and rear access and come with a stroller wheel and height-adjustable handle.
All three models feature adjustable suspension to help provide a smoother ride.

How do I measure my dog for a Hamax dog bike trailer?
Don't choose a Hamax dog trailer based on your dog's weight alone.
Measure your dog's sitting height by allowing them to sit naturally and measuring from the floor to the highest point of their head. You should also consider their body length and width when lying naturally.
Your dog needs sufficient room to sit or lie comfortably without feeling cramped.
As a guide, Milou S accommodates dogs with a sitting height up to approximately 45 cm, Pluto M up to approximately 63 cm and Pluto L up to approximately 82 cm.
If your dog's measurements place them close to the limit between two Hamax models, consider the amount of lying and turning space available as well as their weight.

Do Hamax Milou and Pluto dog trailers have suspension?
Yes. Hamax Milou S, Pluto M and Pluto L feature adjustable suspension with three settings.
The suspension can be adjusted according to the weight of the dog and is designed to provide a smoother, more comfortable ride over everyday cycling surfaces.
Both sides should be adjusted to the same setting according to the instructions for the particular model.
Suspension is especially useful for older dogs and dogs that may be more sensitive to vibration, although Hamax dog trailers are not intended for extreme or very rough off-road terrain.

Can I use a Hamax bike trailer with an e-bike?
Yes. Hamax child, dog and cargo bike trailers can be used with many electric bikes and conventional bicycles, provided the bicycle is suitable for towing a trailer and has a compatible rear axle and hitch arrangement.
Many bicycles can use the standard Hamax hitch. Bikes with certain modern 12 mm thru-axles may require a compatible replacement axle or adapter.
The additional weight of a trailer also affects braking distance and handling, particularly on an e-bike where higher speeds can be reached easily.
If you're unsure whether a Hamax trailer will fit your bicycle or e-bike, Hitch-A-Bike can help identify the correct connection. Providing your bike make, model, year and rear axle specification will normally make compatibility identification much easier.

What is the Hamax Venture cargo bike trailer and how much can it carry?
The Hamax Venture is a versatile cargo bike trailer designed for transporting shopping, luggage, parcels, camping equipment, sports gear, tools and other loads by bicycle.
It can also be disconnected from the bike and used as a hand cart, making it particularly practical for shopping and everyday urban transport.
The trailer has a flat cargo area of approximately 60 × 41 cm and can carry a load of slightly over 50 kg, subject to the permitted combined trailer-and-load weight of 60 kg.
It also includes a movable luggage divider, attachment hooks, securing straps and a weather-resistant cargo cover, with additional cargo bags and rack systems available separately.

What is the difference between Hamax Venture and Venture+ cargo trailers?
The primary difference between Hamax Venture and Venture+ is the material used for the cargo platform.
The standard Venture uses a durable, low-maintenance HDPE platform, making it a practical option for regular transport and everyday use.
The Venture+ uses an FSC-certified plywood platform, giving it a more premium appearance.
Both are designed for the same types of cargo transport, use the same core trailer concept and are compatible with the same range of Venture accessories.
The choice therefore comes down primarily to whether you prefer the low-maintenance practicality of the Venture platform or the appearance and finish of the Venture+.
