The Kivo tandem with two wheels and the Kivo Plus tandem three-wheel bike are suitable for a child who sits at the front and an adult (e.g. parent or carer) who sits at the back. The child can see the surroundings and the adult can watch the child and the road.

The Fun2Go is mainly used by adults/elderly people, but is also available with a child seat.
