Hi, for the biking on Cat Ba Island are there options for a bike with a baby seat or a trike with a basket that can fit a toddler? Thank you.
Answered by Helen | Mar. 17, 2023 02:02
Dear Maryam, Thank you for your email. Regarding your question, sorry to inform you that there is no bike with a baby seat or a trike with a basket. So I think an electronic car is suitable for your family. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Best regards Helen
