InStep Safari Swivel Double Jogging Stroller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this stroller a few weeks ago and have walked plenty with it. It is so easy to maneuver and push.It is so agile!The seat backs do lay back a bit, which is a little weird for my almost 3 yr old, but is fine for my 6 monther.I had my heart set on the BOB duallie, but with a $500 price, it wasn't an option, this is a fine alternative.THe color combo is awesome-and the swivel wheel is incredible.I will never buy a jogging stroller without a swivel wheel after using this one!!It is a tad on the heavy side when folded, but it is still doable-

I do have some suggestions for InStep though, if anyone from there is reading my review!:

1.If you are going to continue to make a sun shade, at least make one that is functional that will actually
provide shade!!No sense wasting money producing the current shade version, it is practically useless.Charge a few bucks more and make a great one (I have a BOB single stroller and the shade is incredible!!!)

and

2.Provide some type of mesh pocket within the child's seat for them to put a water bottle/snack etc.There is great parent storage under this stroller-but nothing for the kids to utilize! (I ended up strapping the little parent console part onto to the bar in front of the kids so that my toddler can keep her snack there. It is an ok solution-but now I have nothing, and often her snacks/cups fall out.)

Chariot Cougar 1 bike trailer Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased the 2008 Cougar about 2 weeks ago for use on my Cannodale mt bike for hauling my 15 month old daughter on some family/day rides.She loves it!This is a terrific product that is definitely on the high end of products in its class.Let me explain why we chose this model over a few others:
- Extremely padded sittigt area.My daughter is picky, so we wanted to give her the maximum comfort in her rides.She is a skirmy little girl, so this is really nice.
- Suspension system.While it doesnt sound like much, this makes the ride SOOOO much smoother.She falls asleep super fast now on a ride.Most other solutions dont have this so your child will feel it.
- UV protected plastic.Another big deal, especially down here in Texas.You need to protect the little ones skin!
- Its a transformer. Chariot sells virtually any type of conversion kit so we can add a stroller kit or jogging kit.I love to have that option so this is why we went this route.

I probably would have given this 5 stars if it for the price Chariot included at least the trailer hitch in the default package, but they do not.I think they do it to keep their product competitive to other high end trailer hitches.So make sure you buy one before you go out cycling!

Product Description:
Chariot Carriers Cougar 1 Jogging Stroller Videos The Chariot Cougar is the best-selling Chariot multi-function child transportation system , and it's not hard to see why. The one-child version of the Cougar, the Cougar 1 displays all the most popular features: aluminum spoke wheels, plenty of storage compartments, and a super comfortable child seat - with a soft seat back, padded seat bottom, and plush harness straps. The adjustable suspension system is the key feature - it's extremely responsive, easy to adjust, and requires no maintenance. This means smoother rides for your passenger(s), as well as for you - the shocks absorb the force of jarring bumps and jolts, rather than letting it bounce the chassis around. When not in use, the Cougar can be folded down into a tidy bundle for storage or transportation, using Chariot's patented "ezFold" design, which auto-locks open or closed, and doesn't require fiddling around with any pins. The Cougar, like the Cheetah and the high-end Chariot CX 1 , can function amazingly well in any of 5 different modes - cycling, jogging, strolling, skiing, or hiking. Simply add whichever CTS Conversion Kit you want to the Chassis with the no tools required VersaWing(TM) technology. Add the Chariot Rain Cover to your bike trailer to keep your precious passenger sheltered from inclement weather. Safety comes first on the Chariot Cougar: Energlo(R) glow-in-the-dark fabric ensures ultimate nighttime visibility. Foot activated parking break Superior suspension Shoulder harness Meets or exceeds ASTM standards The Chariot Cougar is available in two versions - a one-child model (the Cougar 1) or a one-or-two child version ( the Cougar 2 ). Important Note: All convertible Chariot bike trailers (the Cheetah , Cougar, and CX ) are sold as Chassis Only. You must select one or more CTS Kits in order to use your X-Country child transportation system. * Available

Chariot Carriers Inc Cycling CTS Kit (tow arm and hitch) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's expensive, but we can use it with two different strollers and it works just fine. Our kids prefer the company of the double stroller. If you get this, make sure you also have a flag to fly over the stroller/trailer for safety.

InStep Quick N Lite Bike Trailer (Red/Gold/Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researched this purchase alot and I found the reviews to be helpful so I will add my insights.
I have many years of biking experience and am a former bike mechanic. I would have recomended this trailer to my old customers.
The trailer is well made. The welds are very good and the canopy fits tightly. You do need to adjust some straps to get it to fit spot-on but that's to be expected.
This trailer is light and easy to fold up and store as well as unfold and get ready. The process to go from folded to ready to roll is about 4 minutes. The trailer is self explanitory so you don't need to haul the directions around to get it set up.
The bike hook up is easy, however you need to balance the bike upright to do the hook up. Not a big deal and once the coupling is complete you can lay the bike down.
I have two kids who will use the trailer. They are a tight fit inside as I expected. They are comfortable; they have good leg room and a spot for each of them to have cups etc. There is ample room behind them for storage too. The saftey straps are a real bugger. They are not a fastex buckle as you would expect. They are a snap-hook and a "D" ring hook for the shoulder straps. This is ok going on and a pain getting off. Not horrid but really annoying.
The trailer tracks the bike very well. It does change the geometry of the bike though; so it will take some getting used to. The added weight really is a good workout. I have kept the speed down. I don't want to really be moving and need to do a quick manuver with it. You do need to be careful about clearance though. Keep in mind your footprint is three times larger than without the trailer.
I have been sticking to pavement for now. I want to get my daughters comfortable with it before I go to dirt roads. I will have to do some adjusting of the tire pressure for off road so they don't bounce to death.
Over all for the price you are getting more than your moneys worth. I will add to this review if I have an issue down the road.
************* Update 7/18/07. We have around 200 miles on the trailer. So far there have been two issues. The first is with the front wheel you use when using the trailer as a stroller. My wife used it twice and noticed one of the wheels was tilted.-The amazon picture shows one front wheel, there are actually two side-by-side- It ended up being more than tilted the axle was bent badly. I called InStep and they shipped a replacment out very quickly. I would really caution you not to load this up and use it as a stroller...the front wheel just can't handle it.
The second issue is a trivial one yet it is an area that a design change could be made. The floor of the trailer is fabric. When rolling your child needs to keep their feet on the front frame bar. If they do not they can push the fabric down so it rubs along the ground. My daughter did this for a short trip and one area is now very worn. It would not take long to get a hole. A plastic tray or a rub pad on the bottom could solve this. So far asking them to keep their feet on the bar has sufficed....just keep it in mind.
I would rate this as my best buy of the year and one I wish I done three years ago. I'll update this again if an issue crops up.

Schwinn Mark II Bike Trailer (Red/Grey/Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)i did quite a bit of research online (comparing descriptions, reading reviews, etc.) and thought this would be the best bike trailer for our family. we decided to not go super cheap and couldn't afford a $500 trailer so this seemed like it would work.
PROS: the price, it was easy to assemble, it looked good, and would be easy for our daughter to see out of.
CONS: the seat was like a sling that didn't have much support so our daughter was slouched, there was only 2 layers of fabric between our child and the ground, and the cover attaches with a long thick line of velcro, so every time you want to get your child in or out, or get into the back compartment you have to rip open the cover, which was difficult to line up and cumbersome in general.
the cons out-weighed the pros so we returned this trailer, and found a burley d'lite for $100 more at a warehouse store that has a great padded seat, better harness and strap hooks, easy clips for opening and closing the cover, and a movable sun shade panel which gets more use than i would have expected

Product Description:
A children's bike trailer is great when you're on the move, but what happens once you arrive at the grocery store? With a normal trailer you'd just park it outside, but with the Schwinn Mark II, you can convert it to a handy stroller and bring your kids inside. The Mark II sports a lightweight aluminum chassis that provides space for up to two children, along with a zip-down weather shield that protects them from rain, wind, and other inclement weather. More importantly, the trailer is designed for quick, tool-free conversion, with a universal trailer coupler that attaches to any bike and a flip-out front wheel and handlebar for the stroller. It's easy to use, fun, and versatile. Other details include smooth-rolling, 20-inch wheels with a quick-release design for easy storage; a hideaway clear window; a dual harness system; outrigger wheel guards; and a screened canopy for ventilation. The Mark II measures 35 by 31 by 20 inches when folded, offers a maximum weight limit of 100 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Croozer 525 Double Child Bicycle Trailer (Red/Silver/Grey) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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!

Aosom 2in1 Double Baby Bicycle Bike Trailer and Stroller Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this bike trailer after researching several of the other mid-range 2-in-1 Double bike trailers. This one has all the features of the others and more, but does have a few short-comings.
PROS:
1. It's one of the roomier models for two children
2. It has a full front wheel attachment for Stroller/Jogger mode and has an included hand brake
3. It has two adjustable 5-point harnesses that work as intended
4. It has a nicely cushioned seat, and extra protection under the footbed to reduce tears
5. It has 20" outrigger style wheels that roll smoothly and easily
6. You can buy additonal couplers for multiple bikes
7. The protective covers attach securely with Velcro in multiple places and it has an ample rear storage area
8. The bike tow bar tucks neatly under the trailer when in Jogger mode
9. The Jogger bar can remain attached with wheel in storage area if preferred
10. It is priced lower than comparable brands/models
11. It is well-made, uses good hardware and materials and looks great

CONS:
1. In Jogger mode with two children inside it can tip backwards if not attended due to center of gravity being directly over axle and backrest angle
2. The coupler will not fit as intended on bikes with quick-release wheels.The coupler is designed to fit rear axles that are held on by screw nuts. (Note: I was able to mount it another way via disc brake mounting holes at left rear frame arm)
3. The seat is directly over the axle and although it is nicely padded it causes the passenger(s) to be leaned forward a bit
4. The backrest forces the passenger(s) head forward when wearing a helmet which may be uncomfortable on long rides
5. The flag that comes with it is wimpy and flimsy, but is an easy upgrade

All in all I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.Mainly for the fact that it won't attach to all bike frames easily and can tip in Jogger mode if unattended with passengers (which i don't recommend anyway).Compared to the competition (which also have similar drawbacks) the Aosom 2-in-1 Double Bike Trailer is well worth the price, and has some great features and excellent build quality.

InStep Quick N EZ Bicycle Trailer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We got this to use as both a bike carrier and a double stroller.Putting it together was SUPER EASY since it comes mostly assembled.It is bit tight for 2 kids though, a 4 year old and 2 year old. Because the seat is not firm they tend to slide together and then fight because they are pushed up against each other. It attaches easily to a bike but be warned there is alot of drag almost like pulling a parachute.I am guessing every carrier would have this issue though.As a stoller it is very easy to manuever and push. There is some storage behind the seat and that adds to its convenience.
