Instep's Stance on Safety Instep is a proud member of the JPMA organization and choose to have our strollers tested by an independent testing laboratory to the specific ASTM standard to ensure each and every stroller is safe. Instep recommends that a child be at least 6 months of age before putting him/her in any stroller. Bike trailers are not for use with children under the age of 12 months or one year. Children must be able to support the weight of their heads so they can support the weight of a helmet, which is always recommended for use while a child is riding in a trailer.

We returned InStep EZ Rider that we ordered from Amazon.com for 1 big reason...the seat was not even a seat, it was a piece of nylon held by stitching. The shoulder and crotch straps were totally ineffective. Don't bother buying the EZ Rider in effort to save $30.
Buy the Sierra. The seat is padded and supported on the bottom, the straps have padded sections and the buckles are easy to use. The details forgotten on the EZ Rider were included on the Sierra (fabric safety flag, all metal clips, more velcro, less buttons, nice rubberized stroller handle accessory).
Did I mention...spend the extra $30 and get this bike trailer. If is worth it. Look no further.

I have been looking for WEEKS for a double trailer/jogger, reading countless reviews and after reading reviews for this trailer I decided this was the best one for me and my TWO kids. What frustrated me was I could find few reviews that used this stroller for 2 kids and if there were reviews they never stated the size of kids in tow. I have a very tall 4 year old and I wanted to make sure she and her little sister could fit together comfortably.
So for your reference in decision making:
I have a 4 year old (42in-height/ 40lbs) and a 2 year old (30in-height and 29lbs)
They both fit in together height wise fine, which is what I was most worried about. There is even enough room for their legs in the front and the seat is perfectly wide enough. I also love how the seat is padded and the jogger handle bar is adjustable. The trailer is perfectly balanced when they are in it and does NOT tip back.
The only "CON" so far, I am not crazy about the stroller attachment wheel being out so far in front of the trailer, I want it to be closer but that is not a huge deal.

I purchased the Sierra because the reviews were great and a friend has another InStep model and they love it. We've had it for a few days now and have experienced the good and the bad already. I'm one of those people who skip ahead to read the negative parts of reviews first, I like to get the bad over with. So that's where I'll start. But I'd recommend reading the Good as well.
The BAD:
My rear tire kicks up dirt and small pebbles from the road and sidewalk- as does any bike. But the netting attached over the carriage protecting my child didn't protect her from any of it. It collected by her feet and some around her seat. I noticed it to happen mainly when we go out a couple hours after the rain cleared up and it is safe to do so. It does have a plastic drop to protect her from rain that would work in this case but I don't want to completely close it every ride we go on unless it started to rain. InStep should have extended the cloth to cover the entire bottom half of the trailer to protect better from this. It'd still give the passengers a great view and protect them much better.... I don't know if this is an issue with all trailers since all bikes kick up dirt as you ride- especially on wet ground. The best fix: only ride on completely dry ground if possible... and be ready to walk through any surprise puddles (sprinklers, hoses running down driveways,etc...). If it becomes a common issue for me, I may consider buying some cloth to cover a few more inches from the bottom of the trailer.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD/NOT-SO-BAD:
I don't really like how inaccessable the back pouch area to hold items is. You have to take the entire canopy off or reach in from the front- and there's really no pockets- it's just a big space behind the seat so my cell, keys, and other smaller items slide around back there. There are two little pouches in the carrier where the children sit but anything put there will be at your child's reach. I also had an issue with fitting the Tab Washer onto the fallout slot of my bike which is odd since they are both Pacific Cycle products and should be compatible. As long as it doesn't spin it can go into another slot (what they don't tell you is if you do that, it still moves slightly creating a vibration/clicking nose on the peddles and up the frame when attached to the trailer.) We are going out to buy more reflectors (has 1 on each wheel and 1 on the back corner). We don't plan on riding in the dark but we live in the south and rain showers tend to sneak up on us.
THE GOOD:
It was easy to put together, no tools required until attaching it to the bike. Recommend using a socket. No issues with the straps rubbing on my 2 1/2 year old's necks or problems with the restraints (like I read in some reviews). We've been on a few 30-60 min rides so far. It even held my child in tight during one of her fits when we rode pass the park without stopping. My daughter is 37 inches her helmet doesn't rub the top of the canopy like I have read with some other models. She has some room to grow still too. The trailer itself isn't too heavy but I'd recommend practice backing up, braking, and turning once it's attached BEFORE putting little ones in to get a feel for it. The bright green and the bright flag make it easy to spot. I didn't buy this product to use a stroller but I did hook it all together once and it was very easy to convert both ways and even to switch bikes (make sure you have 2 brakets attached - one on each bike- to do it tooless) my husband and I can easily switch the trailer from one bike to another if one of us gets tired when we're out. I only have one child but it seems very spacious for her. AND it has a middle buckle (5 point) for single riders to sit in the center and it's very easy to switch it so it can secure two riders for when she has a friend along for the ride. Also, there's a few straps that line under the seat that can tighten to support two children better. The seat is padded and isn't just material like some other models I've read about (one of the selling issues for me).
I hope this helps. I am still very happy with my purchase. Now we can all get out as a family for fun bike rides while getting some exercise too.

Love it!
I can pop both kids in it and go. It's a smooth ride and my 1.5 yr old enjoys it and she hates her car seat so that's as good a review as you can get.
