The Nordic Cab Explorer is a versatile multi-purpose cart designed for the safe, comfortable, and functional transportation of children in various weather conditions and activities. It can be used as a bicycle trailer, stroller, jogger, and sled/hiking cart, making it suitable for active families.
Function Description:
The Nordic Cab Explorer is designed to adapt to a wide range of activities. Its core function is to transport children, but it can also be used for carrying goods. The cart's modular design allows for easy conversion between different modes:
- Bicycle Trailer: Attaches to a bicycle for towing, providing a secure way to transport children or cargo during cycling. It features a bicycle arm, attachment, and safety cable for secure connection.
- Stroller: Converts into a push stroller for everyday use, with a caster wheel and a handlebar for easy maneuverability. A safety strap is provided for secure handling.
- Jogger (Sold Separately): Transforms into a jogger for running, utilizing a larger front wheel and a specialized handlebar. This mode also includes a safety strap.
- Sled/Hiking Cart (Sold Separately): Equipped with skis and pull arms, it can be used for sledding or hiking in snowy conditions, or for pulling by a dog. A harness is included for the user.
The cart's canopy provides protection from the elements, featuring a front sunshade, mosquito net, and window. Ventilation is crucial, and the rear air flap must be open when using the rain cover. The seat is adjustable and includes a safety harness for securing children. A parking brake ensures the cart remains stationary when unattended.

- Adjustable Handlebar: The handlebar can be adjusted to multiple positions by pressing round plastic buttons and rotating it, enhancing user comfort.

- Storage: The caster can be stored in a net bag behind the seat when not in use. The cart can be folded for compact storage.

- Wheel Protectors: These must always be used when the cart is in bicycle trailer mode.
- Shock Damping: For better shock damping in bicycle trailer mode, a slightly lower tire pressure can be used.
Maintenance Features:
- Virtually Maintenance-Free: The Explorer is designed to be low-maintenance.
- Cleaning:
- Canopy and Seat: Can be removed from the casing and washed with cold water and mild soap. Strong detergents should be avoided.
- Wheels: Should be washed regularly, and axle bolts greased.
- Inspection:
- Bicycle Attachment, Hydraulic Hose, and Bicycle Arm: Should be checked for wear and damage regularly and replaced if necessary.
- Straps and Loose Parts: Ensure no straps or other loose parts can become entangled in the wheels.
- Screws and Brackets: Check regularly for slack in the caster/adapter bracket and tighten securely to prevent noise and damage.
- Canopy Care: Tears and holes should be repaired immediately. The canopy should not be stored long-term in direct sunlight. For extended storage, it's recommended to disassemble the cart, pack parts in the casing, and cover it with a storage cover (sold separately). The removable canopy, which glides on aluminum tracks, simplifies cleaning.
- Ski Maintenance (Sled/Hiking Kit): Apply glide wax to the bottom of the skis to reduce snow friction. Liquid glide wax is easier to apply, followed by polishing with cork.
