The Cycling Kit (hitch arm, hitch, front, rear and spoke refl ectors, safety fl ag) converts the base to a bicycle trailer

The Jogging Kit (16“ front wheel with two wheel arms) converts the basic unit to a jogging stroller.

The Stroller Kit (an 8“ stroller twin wheel) converts the basic unit to a stroller..

The Hiking Kit (drawbar with shoulder strap) converts the basic unit to a hiker.

The XC skiing Kit (skier and drawbar with waist strap) converts the basic unit to a sleigh hiker

The Walking Kit (drawbar with waist strap) converts the basic unit to a walker.
