5.0 out of 5 stars Great little trailer, April 9, 2010

We bought this for our 13 month old daughter. Several years ago we purchased a bike child seat that attached to the rear of the bike. That was a disaster. Too heavy, akward, and very uncomfortable for the child. So we looked at trailers instead for our youngest. Most of the trailers have two seats, but from what I read and saw in stores, the seats are extremely small and it's not realistic to fit two kids in the trailer together. Plus we only have one kid who isn't riding their own bike. I didn't want to haul around the extra room and weight if the space wasn't needed.

Setup was fairly easy. The instructions to install the hitch to the bicycle are good, and I had it attached within about 15 minutes of setting up the trailer itself. I also bought a second coupling so my wife and I can quickly switch the trailer between bikes.

There is plenty of room for a single child, and strapping my daughter in there was easy. The seat bottom has tension adjusters to keep the trailer bottom from sagging, although there's no way the floor would ever drag. The real beauty of this is once you get your child strapped in and attached to the bike. Unlike the child seat, I had no idea the trailer was behind me. The weight is hardly noticable. The ride is smooth, there is no jerking, it corners naturally, and my daughter sits in the trailer with a huge smile on her face. Some of the bike rides have been lengthy for a one year old - up to an hour, and so far she's never started fussing while being towed around. There is also a small amount of cargo space behind the seat. Enough for a diaper bag or some water bottles.

Overall we're very happy we found this unit. The price and weight were less than the double units, and so far no problems with performance.

I love this single trailer-for one child but still has room for cargo; diaper bags, etc. It's light too so you can't even tell it's attached to the bike. Makes for comfortable riding for me and my child.

2.0 out of 5 stars Great Trailer, For SMALL children, April 30, 2010

I just bought this for my husband for our 2.5 year old child. She's tall (39") and about 30 lbs., and she BARELY fits in it with the 5-point harness.

Otherwise, this is a great trailer, but if you have a child over the age of 3, or a younger child who is tall like our kid, this is NOT the trailer to buy.

We're going to have to try and sell this and get another one, since clearly this won't last a month around here.
