I purchased this from Amazon for $200 w/ shipping and everything. I wanted a cargo trailer that would fold and that was rectangular. This is the only one that I found after a quick search. w/ free shipping it was hard to pass up.

All around it's a good folding design. It's similar in quality to a child's trailer. Some of the joints are plastic, while I wish they would be metal. I'm concerned it will wear out after a lot of use (how I plan to use it). If you don't need it to fold up, you might want to purchase a rigid all-metal trailer.

I bought this trailer for a 75 year old friend who is still riding !!!, and needed cargo space for grocery store runs
amazon sent it fast ,it went together easy and he likes it ,,,but he don't haul much,,

, the floor is coro-plast or some such ,held on with pop-rivets and washers, there is a center support but the floor seems flimsy,,

the sides are cloth held on by Velcro tabs one of witch tore at the stitching on the first touch, turns out the machine only caught two stitches on the tab and thats where it let go checked the rest and they seem solid

the front and rear upper bars are on a swivel for folding and the swivel seemed lighter than I would like

the cargo area is big and would hold a weeks chow for two easy

the hitch is a heavy spring and seems good for its use ,,I didn't show my friend how it went on and he hooked it up with the spring making a 180 deg. arc back to the trailer and rode like that for a mile or so,,, when I saw it I turned it around ,, the spring was only very slightly deformed

the hitch arm is held in place by two pins ,one of witch has a second position that lifts the arm end up about a foot ,making it easer to use as a hand cart,, ,he has used this to pick up his senior food box(35lbs.) from the office at his complex and wheel it home about a city block up a slight grade and didn't get winded ,,, also good for laundry day

He says that he "don't feel it back there" and with 24lbs. of water on board he didn't have to down shift from his regular gear on a RR grade hill ,,also its a good width for clearance and tracking


PROS,,,tracks good ,,, setup/fold easy ,,,lite pull,,,hand cart

CONS,,,low payload(66lbs),,,feels flimsy,,,

future ,,,Im going to add some floor bracing as soon as the warenty is up and fix that velcro bit

recomend ??? for light duty,,yes its a nice little trailer,,,,, but you aint hauling no lumber on this dog

I use my croozer bike trailer as a garden tractor with my bike to haul tools up and down a 0.2 mile long driveway at my cottage. Holding up well, easy to put together, hauls my light projects well.

I've never used a bike trailer before, but I can't imagine one being better built or easier to use than this one. I use it around town- going to the beach and even grocery shopping- it's a breeze!

The quality of this product is outstanding. Everything is very well engineered. There are lighter trailers out there, but this one tows effortlessly and is a great buy for the money.

The Croozer Designs Bicycle Trailer has lived up to the reviews that I read before purchasing.

It was easy to assemble and attach to the bike.

The trailer tracks nicely. Thanks to the spring loaded connection to the bike it manuevers nicely in tight spaces.

I purchased the Croozer cargo trailer from Amazon about 4 months ago, and have used it to haul groceries, hardware, large boxes, etc. It is extremely sturdy and easy to set up. I like the fact that it folds down for easy storage. Even with a load, the trailer is stable, tracks well, and does not hinder the handling of the bike as much as you might expect. Going uphill, you have to use a slightly lower gear, but it is not too bad. When I run errands with it, I get lots of compliments. It really increases the versatility of your bike, allows you to leave the car at home for short errands, and has a nice, clean look to it. I only wish that it had some points to secure lashing straps on the inside to stabilize smaller loads, but I find that if I pack carefully, I have been able to avoid load shifting. Overall, I am very satisfied and highly recommend this trailer.

I suggest putting a soft pillow in the bottom to keep eggs or the like from cracking on the way home from the grocery store. It does require a bit more leg fuel but once you get moving you hardly know it is there. The cover is a great idea if you go anywhere in the rain.

We bought this trailer to haul bigger things with our bikes - namely groceries. It works fairly well in this purpose. I have hauled pretty close to 100 pounds in it without much trouble. A few observations: (1) The bike surges more when the trailer is loaded, especially when climbing a hill - it can be disconcerting. (2) The axle mount for the trailer will rotate forward on your quick release due to the torque from the weight - I really had to crank the quick release down hard to counter this. (3) Bike handling is virtually unchanged when the trailer is unloaded, but quite different when loaded. All in all I really like this trailer. It could use some improvements like tie downs for bungie cords, and a straighter axles (the wheels toe out a little). If you want to park your car for days or weeks on end, and really feel good about hauling stuff with your bike, this trailer will make it happen.
Happy Trails!

This cargo trailer is only average. The cover does not fit well. The velcro straps at the corners do not fit properly around the supports and the cover does not stand up under high winds and rain. The floor of the basket is not as sturdy as it could be. A couple of light wieght metal supports should be strung under the flexible flooring for more support.
