Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I picked this trailer up so I could get my exercise in while hauling my dog a few miles to a beach where she gets her workout.The purchase of this unit was a complete splurge, but I am happy with it.The quality of construction and materials used is very good.The assembly manual is not so hot, nor is there much information around on how to acclimate the dog to it.For example, there is a flap at the back of the trailer that folds down and allows the dog to merely step in.It took me a while to recognize all of the great features on this trailer.The video is a short clip, but shows how nicely the trailer tows.It fits behind both the hybrid shown in the video and my touring bike that has 700mm tires.The manual could have had better pictures about how to connect the trailer to the bike, and how to remove the front stroller wheel from the trailer tongue and reconnect the safety tow-strap.It took me a while to figure out.
There are D-rings inside of the trailer that I tie her leash to.It took some trial and error.Basically, I needed to shorten her leash so she wouldn't jump out of the forward end of the trailer.The dog likes to have the front cover rolled-up rather than rolled-down.She would paw at the front canopy when it was in the rolled-down (closed) position.
There are some pouches on the rear exterior fold-down flap that get covered by the rear exterior roll-up cover.The pouches are small and won't hold very much.
The trailer came with a flag on a pole but I don't use it.I also don't use the stroller attachments (the front wheel and the push-handle).
There is a brake that "jams" the rear wheels.It works fine but I think I'm going to take it off to get rid of the weight (even though the weight savings would be minimal).
There is a kickstand on the front end of the trailer that works great.I was thinking of taking it off too but it is pretty convenient.
The trailer does not rattle objectionably.My riding speed is slower, but that's ok because my wife can now keep up with me comfortably.I get a great workout from it.It works fine on paved roads, gravel roads, and on decent "easy" trails.I have not tried it on "moderate" trails yet.
The dog in the trailer is around 35 pounds.She will grow to around 45 pounds, but there will be plenty of room for her.A big lab or golden would fit pretty well.It would be a no-go imo for a medium German shepherd or medium Rottie.
I thought my wife was going to kill me for spending the money, but her first reaction was "that is soooo cute".It really is.She is not very happy about the fact that the trailer, with the dog in it, is a "babe magnet".That's not an advertised feature that may be beneficial to some users!
The only downside to me about the product is its cost, which is legitimate due to the high quality of construction, but it is a splurge.
