When it's time to throw the trailer in the car--or closet--the entire setup folds flat in seconds.

Croozer trailers are designed to be adaptable to a variety of outdoor situations, and sufficiently durable to hold up to the paces an active family puts them through. The 525 is a two-in-one child-mover that quickly converts from a double stroller to a bike trailer. It attaches securely to any adult bike via a hitch arm and two-part axle attachment, and 20-inch spoked wheels provide little ones with a smooth, quiet ride. To park the bike and walk around, simply remove the arm and attach the pivoting stroller wheel.

When your children are involved, safety is obviously the number one concern, which is why the 525's cockpit keeps precious cargo safe and comfy. Front and rear bumpers offer added protection, while padded five-point harnesses and padded headrests keep riders snugly secure. A wide wheel base and low center of gravity ensure solid stability. The weather cover keeps out both rain and sun, and mesh sides ensure optimal ventilation. When you'd like to pack the trailer into the car, or store it in a closet, a patented mechanism lets you fold it flat in seconds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic bike trailer for 2!, June 22, 2009

By 

Bergen27 (Bergen County, NJ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Croozer 525 Double Child Bicycle Trailer (Red/Silver/Grey) (Sports)

After doing significant research on bike trailers for children, I opted for Croozer Designs brand because it got great reviews from a few bike enthusiasts. The 525 model has separate seats for each child, as in separate "hammocks" on each side for each seat - many other brands of double trailers have a single "hammock" with two seat harnesses, resulting in both children eventually leaning in towards the middle and each other. The 525 seats remain separate and flat and a very comfortable ride even for taller children.
Assembly of the trailer was relatively easy, although I put the front bumper on upside-down the first time - beware.
There is a lot of storage space behind the seats.
The screen and rain cover included are sturdy, fit well, and store easily.
Installation of the trailer hitch on the bicycle is very easy, although I had to insert the screw in the opposite direction (as mentioned in the instruction manual might be required) which meant a little more work.
Attaching and detaching the trailer is a piece of cake too.
The only downside is finding vendors who sell the Croozer 525, but Amazon came through and had the best price.
Overall, I have been thrilled with my purchase!

5.0 out of 5 stars Could it get any better than this?, September 28, 2009

This review is from: Croozer 525 Double Child Bicycle Trailer (Red/Silver/Grey) (Sports)

This is truly an amazing stroller/trailer.

I just got back from a trip to the store... I was pulling my daughter & purchased 40 cans of food & 20 boxes of rice/mac'ncheese etc. It ALL fit in the trunk (except my daughter! She was in the front!). I was amazed at how easily it still pulled behind the bike... and i'm 5 months pregnant! I am sooo glad we have this trailer. If anything goes drastically wrong with it, i'm buying another, it's definitely worth the price.

The things i like about it:

1. No awkward "arm" with a wheel on the front for when it is converted to a stroller.
2. HUGE "trunk"
3. Roomy enough for two + toys & blankets for a long ride
4. Easy to push
5. Turns on a dime
6. Pulls easily behind my bike
7. Easily converts from stroller to trailer & back again

NOTE: We used our stroller (as a stroller) probably 10 miles a week... in less than a year the rubber on the tires had worn through & one of the tires was flat. It was a $30 fix... bought new BMX tires (just the rubber part) & now we'll be able to go much longer i'm sure. This is my ONLY complaint.

This review is from: Croozer 525 Double Child Bicycle Trailer (Red/Silver/Grey) (Sports)

We read a lot of reviews for this stroller/trailer before we purchased it. I love that it has separate seats for 2 children, so they are not leaning on eachother. Plenty of footroom and storage room. Steers easily.

The only complaints I can think of are that the assembly instructions seem to be written for a different (but similar) model, so they were confusing, and the front wheel rattles on rough road when used as a stroller.
