German-engineered family bike trailers
The Qeridoo QUPA 1 Plus Mineral Blue is Qeridoo's upgraded single-seater child bike trailer, sitting one tier above the base QUPA line.
Same reinforced aluminium frame and leaf-spring damping, plus a 360° air-filled buggy wheel with walker function, an adjustable headrest, an optimised hitch system with quick-change function, and a comfort seat system with soft all-round padding.
The 3-in-1 cover (insect net, sun shade, rain shield), 5-point harness, height-adjustable push handle that doubles as a roll-over bar, and the trailer/buggy conversion carry over from the base QUPA. The Plus tier is aimed at parents who cover more ground and want the smoother buggy-mode wheel, the extra head support for the sleeping-child hours, and the tuned hitch geometry.
Suitable for one child aged 6 months to 4 years (up to 22 kg, up to 105 cm). Complies with EN 15918:2011+A2:2017 and EN 1888-1:2018+A1:2022.

Pro tip
The air-filled buggy wheel is a real upgrade on rough paving but check its pressure monthly, it's the wheel that carries the front weight in walk-mode and a soft one turns pushing into pushing-through-treacle. The adjustable headrest earns its keep on the return leg when a tired child nod off; set the angle before you set off, not while stationary at a junction.
