This is the second spring we apply this seat. When we first bought
it, it spent one month in our garage; since it didn't match on my Trek 3700 or
my husband's Giant Boulder Se. Finally my husband buy longer bolt in hardware
store and attached it to Giant. To attach the seat he removed fast release seat
bolt and replaced it with longer one from hardware store (provided one was to
wide for bike wholes, and the one on the fast release system on bike was to
short. It too took a moderate fiddling with attaching to the wheel; since of
the derailleur system. After being installed the seat is extremely sturdy and
secure. Our child enjoys it. We go riding every day. It too has leg protectors,
that is excellent. Be careful with attaching the straps, they are flimsy. You necessitate
to get applied to rear weight. It takes little practice. The seat is extremely close
to bike seat, and our 22 months old boy who is 34 3/4" high was kicking
our legs with his legs. Now we taught him to keep his feet in provided slots
and it is fine now (but we ended up with bruises before which).

Review & Buy Bell Classic Bicycle Child Carrier
Review & Buy iBert Safe-T-Seat Front Child Seat (Green,38-Pounds limit)
I consider the design is nice but not fantastic. The
attachment is extremely easy design that connects to the steering column. I
have a good mountain bike and the mounting space is extremely tight. I am
unsure if it is doing any damage to my steering column but I have applied numerous
times and overall seems to work. There are other products out there therefore compare
your necessitates with the design. I feel extremely secure with my son sitting
in it and buckled in. I recommend putting on face cover for your little
passenger on windy days as he feels the entire brunt of the weather.
Overall, it is a positive experience with a endorsement to for the product. I would recommend this product to friends.
Our son received the iBert as a Christmas gift from Grandma,
therefore we are just now able to apply this first the first time. We tried it
yesterday for the first time and our son ENJOY it!! This seat is AWESOME. It
was convenient for my husband to put on his bike and he did it in regarding 10
minutes. Our son is 7 months and 18 lbs, he fits fantastic. We didn't have any trouble
adjusting the straps to match his frame. We enjoy this because my husband can
talk to our son while riding around, that he could not do if our son was in a
trailer behind my husband's bikes. This is a must for any family if you enjoy
to bike during the warmer months. Fantastic product!!!!
I didn't want my son on the ground level bouncing behind us
therefore we got this instead
My husband said it's a little tricky at first and the thing has a little bit of a wobble (the company says the give is intentional) but it's kind of scary at first.
My son is huge (7mo, 23lbs, 33in) and is just able to sit on his own and had zero issue with this.
I consider this is a nice product if you're looking to bike with your baby/kid at a better level.

I consider this is a nice product if you're looking to bike with your baby/kid at a better level.
I bought our Ibert safety seat in 2008, for apply with my
then two year old daughter. Before purchasing it, we applied a burley pull
behind bike carrier as well as a traditional rear mounted bike carrier. The
hills in Folsom are fantastic, therefore though she liked the single burley - I
could not pull the weight up the hills on most rides. though the rear mounted
bike seat seemed to be convenient to apply - my daughter hated it and it made
every ride a chore. From her extremely first ride on this seat to the last she enjoy
it. We were able to mount it on a trek mountain bike, a bianchi commuter bike
and a beach cruiser - no troubles. I saved the seat when she moved into the tag
along. Now my son uses this extremely seat and he enjoys to bike. I started
riding with him when he was 10 months old. The best part of this bike seat is
you can upgrade it with the newer parts - there is a steering wheel, padding
(ours was not padded) and a newer harness... Now my bike is a bicycle built for
three baby on front, momma doing the work, and daughter trailing behind on her
tag along.
I've been
researching child seats for my small two year old. This one was my favorite,
but I was concerned regarding match. I'm merely 5'4" and I really didn't
want to end up bumping my knees. This is complete. She is correct next to me
and we can talk and interact. She can ring my bell or "help" me
steer. She enjoys it! It in no way interferes with my ability to apply the
bike. I can get on and off fine, I can stop safely, I can pedal without must
avoid the seat. This is the best solution I've discovered for allowing us to do
family rides! I enjoy which it goes up to 38lbs. I'm going to have a lot of
miles on it as she's merely 24lbs now!

Review & Buy InStep Journey double Bike Trailer
I buy this regarding a year ago from Target and therefore far
therefore nice. Last year I merely had one kid of age to apply in it, but this
year I began towing my almost 4 year old and almost 2 year old in it. The ride
is smooth - it doesn't seem like there is a lot of exclusive drag. The children
really enjoy it and never complain regarding it being also bumpy of a ride, that
was a worry of mine as there is no suspension on the trailer. I wouldn't apply it
off of paved paths, however.
My merely complaint is with the harness. My children are relatively average in size, yet the harness straps seem way also short. I have them on the loosest setting and can get them both strapped in, but it seems like it should be easier. I wrote the company regarding this and they said it's a understood issue and they sent me extensions to make the straps more convenient.

If you want a trailer for casual apply I'd go with this one. I merely apply it occasionally therefore can't speak to how it will hold up to abuse, but therefore far it's fantastic!
I got this for my wife for Christmas along with a new
Schwinn bicycle. The trailer works fantastic at carrying my 5 yo and 10month
old (their combined weight is maybe 60lbs.). The baby match into the straps but
there's still a little room for her to move but she's not tipping over and
seems to like it. The one thing which didn't work well was the hitch system.
There's a washer which goes onto your bicycle which the receiver then goes up against.
This washer has raised dots which match into holes on the receiver to prevent
slipping. The washer match onto the bike, but a locking tab to prevent the
washer from moving didn't match into the bike frame. So, I didn't apply it,
made the nut gorilla tight on the bike and will watch to make certain it
doesn't malfunction.
As for delivery, the trailer did take almost 5 days before it delivered, but it did arrive during the estimated shipping time.

Bought the double trailer for myself and 2 year old grand
daughter. Easily wonderful! Convenient set up, convenient to maintain, can't
although tell its attached to my beach cruiser. We cruise around the beach for
hours a day, plenty of room for storage, packing toys, towels and small cooler.
My favorite buy from Amazon!!
I bought the carriage for my 4 and 1yr old. Convenient to
assemble and looks like the picture. My kids enjoy it. The merely issue I have
is which there's not sufficient support where the children sit. It's basically
material, therefore when my 4yr old sits in it my 1yr old basically sinks in to
him. This problem is conveniently solved with a pillow. Other than which it's fantastic
I apply it twice a day as I am an active biker.
This thing folds down for storage in less than a minute and
assembles just as quick. It has a 100 lbs weight limit that is twice the limit
of some cargo bike trailers that means I can apply this for carrying children,
groceries backpacks, luggage, or whatever I can match into it. The reason why
it is cheaper than the other Instep trailers is since most other trailers
convert into a baby stroller, like the Instep Sierra that is 50% more on the
price tag for the same color and capacity. Overall I recommend this purchase
for first-time bike trailer buys.
Now we can take our son bike riding and have no worries or
issues. Fantastic product, made extremely well! I would exactly recommend this
product to people with small kids!
Nice quality - convenient to set up and install - and works fantastic!
We enjoy it and therefore does our daughter!!!
Review & Buy Aosom 2in1 Double Baby Bicycle Bike Trailer and Stroller
I apply it for runs/walks (don’t have a bike) and it works completely.
Putting it altogether was a challenge but AOSOM has a video on youtube to help.
I too read the reviews here in regards to the front tire going flat after the
first use. I took apart the front wheel and put electrical tape down (I could
see how the tire could pop) and haven't had an issue with it because I did which.
I am a bit confused as to the age/height requirements/limits on the trailer. It says not to put a child under the age of 18 months in it, but my 3 year olds head exceeds the height limit by an inch. therefore basically are they expecting a person to apply it for a year (when a child is over the age of 18 months and under 3). Both my children are average height and the trailer is made for two kids therefore which was a little bit of a disappointment.
All in whole its convenient to push, light weight (even at 30+ lbs) and handles corners goodly.

All in whole its convenient to push, light weight (even at 30+ lbs) and handles corners goodly.
I considered I was missing a piece therefore I contacted
customer service via email they were able to help me out. They break style
changed therefore I was not missing a piece at all. They sent me a video to
help demonstrate how to install the new system.
So earlier review turned out to spot on...especially with
regard to the troubles with the tires going flat immediately upon first
inflation...understanding this i was able to take the tires off and wrap over
the liner a few times with electrical tape...or else the rim liner would not
have protected the tires from punctures from the back of the spokes. It took an
exclusive 30 minutes work to put altogether since of this. too earlier reviews
said the assembly guidance were extremely poor. This is true....but if you have
the slightest bit of handiness you can figure the snap altogether parts of it
extremely conveniently. The brakes are a bit trickier...but for this part the guidance
were sufficient. It helps if you've ever changed your own bike tire or set a
brake line. If those two jobs scare you..then don't purchase this product. If you
can get past which even the bike works wonderfully. It's comfortable for my
three year old and one year old to ride altogether. It rides therefore smooth
it's hardly noticeable behind the bike. I enjoy it and they enjoy it...and it
works fantastic as a stroller much better although than regular strollers. One
really strange observation however....one of the large tires was marked
(correctly) max. 35 psi and the other same size but opposite side tire was
marked (incorrectly) max 300 psi..yes which correct i said 300 psi. I'm just happy
i had a stitch of common sense regarding bicycles before i buy this product.
Thanks to the earlier reviews i have an overall nice experience...purchase stay
away if you can't pull and replace a bike tire. Or else enjoy!
My husband set the trailer up pretty convenient, like others
have said directions are vague, but you get the gist, I had read the reviews
where others had said which parts were damaged and I was praying ours would not
be but alas it was. There is a storage space behind where the child sits and it
had a hole in the nylon regarding the size of a quarter. Rather then send the
whole thing back I am going to patch the hole myself. Things which we enjoy are
the exclusive safety features like the wheel guards and the fact which it is
not a sling seat, but is secured to the base, too like the stroller wheel is a
real wheel not a dinky plastic wheel. I worry the velcro closure will be convenient
for the children to undo, kind of wish it was snaps or zipper. Awesome buy, fantastic
price and better then whatever you would discover at Target or Walmart.
Ordered 2 - merely sent one and would not work with me on delivery
costs as I had to drive to the States twice for pick up. The front wheel pulls
to the left. Ordered a blue stroller for a friend - accompanied with reflectors
both front and back that the red one does not have. Besides the front wheel
pulling to one side it is a nice stroller and was convenient to put altogether.
When I opened the box whole the guidance were in German.
However the trailer is extremely convenient to assemble and I didn't necessitate
whatever other than my two hands. In order to correctly install the breaks go
to [...]. I did notice which the pivot bolt for the trailer arm loosened and
the nut came off. Luckily I wasn't also far from home. I put the bolt back in
with a lock washer locking nut and Locktite. I haven't experienced any other troubles.
My girls enjoy it and it's convenient to attach and detach from the bike. too it
quite fast changes from a stroller to a trailer. The hand brake which can lock
in place is a good feature. whole in whole it's a fantastic stroller at a nice
price.

Review & Buy CoPilot Model A Double Bike Trailer
I have gotten therefore many complements on how cute this
"buggy" is. The bike trailer is complete for my children (4 and 2) to
ride in and they enjoy it as well. though they must sit relatively close altogether
it doesn't seem to bother them once we start riding. I did ALOT of research on
ALOT of different trailers and I decided on this one since it looked more
sturdy, has 20 in. wheels (for more ground clearance and smoother ride), has
somewhat padded seats, and the seat is more substantial than some of the others
in the same price range looked. It is too extremely convenient switch it to a
different bike since of the vice- like connector (verses the pin connector
where there is a piece which must remain attached to the bike although after
the trailer has been removed). For the price I paid ($99.00- on sale, 50% off)
I am extremely satisfied with what I got. I saw extremely little difference
between this one and the ones which were extremely expensive.
Review & Buy Croozer Mini Bicycle Trailer
I apply this doggie trailer to tote my two cocker spaniels to the beach. They match in pretty tightly, although even they are smaller than the average cocker. One weighs 20 lbs and the other 24 and they can lie side by side but there is no room between. They are able to get up and turn around and sometimes ride looking out in opposite directions. You will not be able to pull this in soft sand. You might be able to apply it on hard sand but I have never tried it. It does add appreciable weight to your ride...you understand it is back there. Of course, this is relative to the weight of your pet. If you purchase this, put a towel under it when assembling therefore you do not damage the nylon cover on rough surfaces. This is extremely expensive but because it is designed for animals, it is what you necessitate. I tried to adapt a child's bike trailer and discovered which it would not work, especially because it did not have a rigid floor.

Review & Buy WeeRide Pro-Pilot Bicycle Tandem Trailer
We apply this trailer for the past 2 months daily, averaging
regarding 10 miles per day. My boys - 3 and 5 year old - just enjoy it and
don't want to get down. I am surprised to read the previous review which the
product broke after a few uses. My neighbor too owns the same trailer for the
past 5 months and never had any parts broken. I am actually getting the second
identical trailer, therefore my husband and I can go for the ride with our 2 children
at the same time. I highly recommend this product.
I buy this for my 4 year old daughter, and she enjoys it. It
does take a little effort to keep the balance when she leans to one side or the
other. They could have made the seat a little softer. whole in all, it is a good
bike for the money and a fun way to spend the day with my daughter.
I bought the item after my son became also frustrated with
his bicycle. After riding altogether, he lost his fears, but we gained family
time altogether.
Nice condition, delivered quite fast, and seems to be nice quality. owned for six months.

When my son was old sufficient to ride along, but couldn’t
keep up with his bike, I bought this to make our life easier!
The match and finish on the bike is acceptable. The mechanics of it are decent. The post which attaches to your bike is somewhat stiff and hard to couple to the trailer bike. I took a sander to mine and removed any rough areas, and its fantastic now. I did turn the handlebars around therefore which my son didn’t must bend over therefore far to reach them while riding.
It was extremely easy to attach and looks fantastic. My almost 4 yr old enjoys it although even his feet can't wholly reach the pedal when it's at the bottom of the rotation. My 7 yr old wants ride it as well although even he has own bike!

Fantastic bike to get you little one on a ride with you. My
4 year-old enjoys it. Sturdy construction and extremely little assembly wanted.
Its been fun, we've applied it 5 times a week for the past month.
we've had this trailer bike for a few weeks now and my son enjoys
it!!! It's a really wonderful bike, extremely sturdy, nice quality, and just a
whole lot of fun. It's too good looking as I didn't understand what to expect
before I got it since I didn't consider the picture did it much justice. My son
won't although ride his own bike at this point, he would much rather ride the
trailer bike. whole in all, this is a nice purchase, I highly recommend it!
This product is of high quality. The attachment mechanism is
sturdy and feels safe. We've applied it ~10 times in the last 3 weeks on
various roads in our neighborhood, including dirt bike trails and hills. My 4
year old son is still not tall sufficient to reach pedals at the lowest point,
but is or else quite comfortable.
I have not applied other kinds of trailer bikes, but whole other brands / models cost much more - and I don't see what else you'd necessitate.
For the money, it's almost worth 5 stars. merely 2 minor comments. 1) Yes the seat is not soft. No complains from the rider (yet) on up to 15 min trips. May be it does not bother children as it would adults. 2) Tight turns make the seat of my bike rotate. This happens since of the built in limiters in the connector / joint. Turning also tight to the left or correct will move the post of adult's bike correspondingly. It happens mostly when maneuvering the tandem out of the garage. Not a bad design: it's a required safety feature. merely a bit also limiting, hence becomes a small nuisance, but convenient to address when it happens.
For the future reference: the bike accompanies with a flag on a pole. It's not on the picture and I was wondering whether it's included.
I'd given it 4.5 stars. Recommended.
