Many of you may be asking yourselves these and other questions related to bike safety, and for good reason. Parents, dog owners and cycling enthusiasts contact us all the time, looking for more information on this important topic, which is why we have decided to share some of our knowledge and personal experience here on our website.
The Croozer commitment: In the development of our bicycle trailers, safety is the top priority. It is the basis and guiding principle for everything we do and is a central pillar of our identity as a company. This means that we only offer products that completely satisfy our high standards for safety, quality and durability. We are convinced that intelligently designed, high-quality bicycle trailers offer several advantages over other transport alternatives.
With Yuuna, you're not just bringing home a bike trailer – you're getting a lovingly designed safety system that takes your family's mobility to a whole new level.
The 360° safety frame provides reliable protection – whether your little one or your dog is riding along. The rotating coupling axle ensures that the trailer stands securely, even if the towing bike tips over. The low centre of gravity provides excellent stability, while reflective elements in the fabric and battery lights ensure that you are clearly visible in traffic.
For unrestricted comfort, the automatic AirPad® suspension ensures a smooth ride on any surface without you having to adjust anything. You can steer safely and relaxed with the powerful handbrake, which also acts as a parking brake. Perfect for short breaks on hills or on the road.
Whether rain, sun or mosquitoes – the integrated 2-in-1 canopy provides reliable protection. The robust sun canopies with SPF 80 UV protection and the innovative ventilation system with Fresh Air Tunnel keep the interior at a pleasant temperature and ensure good air circulation.
The modular system is easy to adapt: whether Kid + Dog,Kid + Cargo or simply kid, dog or cargo as a flexible combination– Yuuna grows with your family and remains child's play to use, as well as being safe.

• Safe structure made of steel and aluminium > extremely stable frame for maximum protection from all sides
• Exceptional stability, thanks to a wide wheelbase and low centre of gravity
• Bumpers for the protection of the bicycle trailer
• Safety flag, reflectors and reflective strips on the body for good visibility in traffic
• Sensor light integrated into the handlebar (only on the Croozer Kid Vaaya)
• Robust, super-safe hitch system
• Rotatable hitch connector that keeps the trailer upright if your bicycle should ever fall over
A high-quality lighting system provides the necessary safety for your bicycle trailer in low-light conditions. Lights are particularly important during the winter months, when the days are shorter. The Croozer’s safety flag and reflective height and width markings help ensure that you and your trailer will be clearly visible to other road users. However, an active tail light is still required! Are you fed up with those small, battery-powered lights that are difficult to attach, break after just a few months, have non-replaceable batteries and/or are not rechargeable? Then the Click & Flash® sensor-activated lighting system is perfect for you. It has powerful lights, gives your bicycle trailer outstanding visibility and, thanks to a sensor, switches on automatically in darkness when the Croozer is in motion.
