desertcart.com Review The entire trailer packs down to a remarkably compact size, allowing for easy transport. Take your kids along on the next bike ride while keeping them safe, dry, and comfortable in the InStep Sync trailer. An outstanding value for family-minded recreational cyclists, it boasts a simple design that folds down for easy storage and transportation and a versatile coupler attaches to almost any bicycle. 16-inch pneumatic tires with molded rims provide performance and style in spades, and the two-in-one canopy has a bug screen and weather shield to keep your precious cargo protected. Review: 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. Review: We have had this trailer for 2 years. I take him on the pavement/ road to and from the daycare or stores. Its obviously not built for dirt roads. So far it had held up perfectly, no broken seatbelts or anything. It does say to keep it out of the sun when storing so we store it in the entrance of the house, and in the basement in the winter. My little guy loves riding in it, and we use the back trunk bit for his daycare bag or a grocery bag or 2 of groceries. Very light and easy to set up. First time we didnt blow it up when it arrived, but second year we did. The trick is to not blow it up like a bike tire, it has to be a little soft. Cons, only con is that it wears the back tire of my bike. But it's an inexpensive fix for the amount of use we get out of the trailer.

Nous hésitions entre une Thule à 500$ et ce chariot à 200$(tx inc) et nous ne regrettons en rien notre choix. C'est de bonne qualité et il est super beau! Mon petit adore se promener dans ce chariot!

Esta perfecto para cualquier bici. El bebé va cómodo, posiblemente dure como hasta que cumplan 3/4 años.

We bought this when we had baby #4. Never had one before, as my husband and I just got bikes for the first time, since we were probably 13! Our older kids 10, 8, and 6 are into biking. So for cheap family fun we invested in bikes for us and a trailer for our then 10 month-old baby. It very easy to assemble. Even easier to set up and break down each time. It all folds in on itself. We got a trailer hitch bike rake for the minivan to hold 5 bikes and this trailer fits with lots of room to spare in the back of my Honda Oddessy. The directions say for 1 years-old and up, but our son has been super strong since births. Army crawling at 4 months and walking by 9 months, so we figured sitting in the trailer wouldn't be an issue and it wasn't. Buy the extra coupling link to connect to your bike, so there is one on each adults' bike and it makes attaching it to either bike really easy. (Only one coupling link is included to attach to one bike.) We used this all last summer, even taking it down to Destin, FL for some beautiful biking. My son loved it. Plus, there are pockets for sippy cups and toys. Not to mention plenty of room for water bottles for the rest of the family. I did add some of those custioned shoulder pads to go around the straps, just because they were hitting him across the neck and chin and I didn't want them to cause a rash. (I just used the ones off the old infant carseat he grew out of.) The straps are a 5 point harness, completely adjustable and the seat height is adjustable as well. On long trips, he falls asleep and is perfectly safe. We can hear my son ooohing at all he sees.You will feel it when pulling this trailer. I had a heck of a time once...then we realized the tires had gone flat! (Check the tires before a trip.) Once the tires were filled up, it was much easier. Going up hill sucks, but that sucks anyways! Getting started can be a pain, but once your peddling, your fine. I'm 34 and 5'2 and I can pull this...but I prefer to let my husband do it when he's with me! I thought about getting one of those seats that attaches to my seat for this summer, now that my sone is 1.5, but I'm afraid it'll throw my balance off. With all the kids, there is a a lot of stopping and starting and the trailer just seems like a safer, smarter option. Remember to practice safety. Don't ride at night and don't let little kids hang in the rear. We do it in a line from my husband & the trailer, the 3 older kids, then me watching from behind for any wipeouts. (My 6 year-old still bites the dust & my 8 year-old daughter is just as slow as me!) It's great FREE family fun and a workout. We easily can bike 6 miles before the kids start complaining. We love this trailer!
