As a child care provider, do you want to transport children from different families using a cargo bike? The CargoX has a dual-belt system that secures two children in the cargo area. In the standard configuration, therefore, plan for two children. Also check for each child whether the seat provides sufficient support. Add up the total weight of the children and luggage: the cargo box has a maximum capacity of 100 kg. Since you\u2019re caring for other people\u2019s children, check with your child care agency and your insurance provider in advance to ensure that transportation during child care hours is covered by your agreements and insurance policy. Also, make clear arrangements with the parents.<\/p>\n

In this article, you'll learn what to keep in mind as a child care provider: kitchen space and seat belts, insurance and liability, a routine for children you don't know very well yet, and a trial run that simulates a real workday.<\/p>\n

How many children can you secure in the CargoX?<\/h2>\n

The CargoX has a dual-belt system that secures two children in the carrier. Therefore, plan on carrying two children per trip in the carrier.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s plenty of room. The stroller is 100 cm long and 70 cm wide. So it can hold more than just two children\u2014for example, diaper bags, a change of clothes, and a bag of fruit. But just because there\u2019s extra space doesn\u2019t mean you can fit a third child in there.<\/p>\n

There are configurations that include an extra bench seat in the front. For a child care provider, the question isn\u2019t whether a third child will fit, but whether that child is just as securely fastened as the other two. Do you want to transport three children? Then ask the dealer exactly which seats and seat belts are available for the model you\u2019re considering. To find out what having three children in a car means in practice, read Cargo bike with three children: Does it really fit, and is it safe?<\/a><\/p>\n

Pay attention to the weight and the seat<\/h3>\n

The CargoX can carry up to 100 kg in its cargo area. Add it all up: kids, bags, a rain cover that you carry folded up, and groceries picked up along the way. Just to be safe, weigh what you usually carry on a typical day. That way, you\u2019ll know how much wiggle room you have left.<\/p>\n

Also keep the law in mind. According to the Central government<\/a> Children under the age of 8 must have a safe seat on a bicycle that provides adequate support for their back, hands, and feet. We verified this information with the Dutch government on September 25, 2026. So check for each child whether the spot in the trailer provides that support. This may differ for a small toddler compared to a six-year-old.<\/p>\n

Insurance and Liability: What to Keep in Mind as a Childcare Provider<\/h2>\n

If you drive your own children, you arrange that within your family. As a child care provider, you drive children who have been entrusted to your care. That feels different\u2014and it is different. The national government states that Become a Child Care Provider<\/a> that you need to have various types of insurance. Ask your child care agency or trade association which ones these are. They also know which insurers offer insurance policies for child care providers.<\/p>\n
