Urban Arrow: Family Cargo Line

How has owning an Urban Arrow changed your life?
Our family sold our car to become a single car family. We hardly drive anywhere now. And it’s been the best way to connect with my 2 year old and 5 year old kids.
If you have children, what do they think/say about riding in the Urban Arrow?
My kids prefer it to riding in it compared to cars. My 2 year old especially loves going over speed bumps. I think it encourages them to think about non car forms of transportation in general
Do you reach for your Urban Arrow more often than your car keys?
Yes!

How do you use your Urban Arrow? Commuting, errands, weekend adventures... tell us about it!
I use my Urban Arrow for school drop-offs, errands, and commutes to work
What do you usually carry in your Urban Arrow?
Children and groceries.
What is the largest or heaviest item you've transported with your Urban Arrow?
My entire family including my partner and children. Or an Arban Arrow filled with glass to deliver to our recycling center.

What has been your greatest or most memorable adventure with your Urban Arrow?
Exploring the city of Atlanta with my children especially when my younger child was still riding in the maxi-cosi at 4 months.
Anything else you would like to share about your Urban Arrow or your experience with it?
I absolutely love it. The best purchase I’ve made in a long time.
