4.0 out of 5 stars Great trailer, January 18, 2007

By 

April G. (Orange, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: CoPilot Model A Double Bike Trailer (Sports)

I have gotten so many complements on how cute this "buggy" is. The bike trailer is perfect for my kids (4 and 2) to ride in and they love it as well. Although they have to sit relatively close together 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 because 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 also very easy switch it to a different bike because of the vice- like connector (verses the pin connector where there is a piece that has to remain attached to the bike even after the trailer has been removed). For the price I paid ($99.00- on sale, 50% off) I am very satisfied with what I got. I saw very little difference between this one and the ones that were very expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Trailer, Great Value, April 20, 2010

Very happy with this unit. It has some compromises, but they seem very reasonable to me, given the price. I bought it here locally in Lincoln Square / Chicago for a less than Amazon, who was on backorder.

Pro:
- Great value. Well-made trailer at half the price of bigger brands.
- Not too heavy, and rolls very smoothly.
- Nicely balanced. In stroller mode, kids can climb in without tipping, though I wouldn't push my luck.
- Tip resistant. Bike can topple without taking the trailer with it, though just barely. Kickstand probably needed.
- Adequate rear storage compartment. Enough to hold three standard grocery bags.
- Fits through a standard storefront door, though just barely.
- Easy-release cotter pins make it fairly easy to collapse.
- Stroller wheel is small, so it can easily tuck in the back for trips where strollering is needed.
- Convenient storage pouches for kids, though they are smaller than I'd like.
- Sufficient clearance for 3-year old's bike helmet, without forcing them to look downward.
- Frame heavy enough to protect in a roll-over.
- Comes with reflectors and a basic flag.
- Flexible shaft at bike clamp makes attaching fairly easy.

Cons/Compromises:
- Cheapish harnesses. The straps are just webbing with no padding, and the buckles are the cheap hook type.
- Limited padding in the seat, though there is a little.
- Floorboard is just a thin board sewn into the fabric. Feels like it's going to rip through one of these days.
- Bike clamp not so great. It works well enough, but makes me worry that it might somehow slip off. I would have preferred a typical dock/hook variety. Safety strap makes matters worse; it would likely cause the cart to jam the rear wheel.
- A little tricky to get the cover pulled on correctly and Velcro'd down correctly. But still, it's well made.
- Foam on handle is standard grade stuff -- bound to get worn and chipped soon -- though replacement shouldn't be too hard.

Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

2.0 out of 5 stars The clamp sucks!, March 4, 2009

Trailer is just fine. The clamp stinks because it keeps coming loose (trust me, I've put as much torque on it as my fingers can stand). Also, the clamp placement on the chainstay is too far forward. It contacts my heel and my wife's heel on her bike. The only remedy is to ride with the arch of the foot on the pedal, which is wrong.

I'm converting it to a hub mounted attachment, using a Burley skewer mounted bracket and altering the attachment method. Then, it will be out my way!

The kids love riding in it, it's light enough and has large wheels for the bumps. I do like the options for covering the babes with the front mesh, or plastic cover.

It's just the clamp that sucks!
