The Wheel Deal

Taga Stroller-Bike

Busy?

Kill two birds with one stone with Taga, a new stroller-cum-bike that helps you keep in shape while you transport your child. Classed as an urban vehicle by its intelligent Dutch makers, this is the sports car of buggies.

At £1,695, Taga ain’t cheap. But it’s durable, well made, and will last for generations. And it doesn’t require petrol.

Ride it like a push bike (with Baby sitting up front in the padded, reclining chair) or walk or jog behind it.

On second thought, you’ll probably want to sprint.

Available at On Your Bike, 52-54 Tooley Street, SE1 2SZ (020 7378 6669 or onyourbike.com). To see styles, go to taga.nl.
