Review on Weehoo iGo2 by Jeremy Jackz

Wow. all i can say Just. Wow. We have four children aged 5 years to 5 months. We used to have a co-pilot bike seat (another GREAT product) for a toddler on my bike and my wife towed a trailer/carriage for two kids. . It worked well for family bike rides until number 4 arrived. My eldest is a bit cramped in the trailer so another wasn't the best option. It looked promising and the trail bikes didn't offer the protection I wanted for my child. If he gets tired or distracted during a long ride, he can easily fall over. Then I saw WeeHoo and my prayers were answered. This thing is amazing. It wasn't that hard to pick it up. You'll need a decent amount of space as this is a larger item, but I got this done in under 2 hours. The instructions were mostly clear and the resources available online eliminated any confusion the instructions might have left. This seems reliable. The welds are strong. The seats feel secure. It became a school bus for my two older children. I drove her to WeeHoo and/or picked her up a few days a week. We also went on several winding bike rides on the nearby hiking trails. My 5 and 4 year olds love it. You fight for a chance to ride up front to "help" the pedals (note I've never felt the push from behind, but I digress). My 3 year old daughter is in a love hate relationship and wants to ride. in it, but doesn't feel secure when leaning forward in corners. We also get many views on this matter. I probably wouldn't get more surprised onlookers if I rode it naked (although probably fewer compliments). At school, everyone – both parents and children – watched and asked questions. My boys loved it. On the days I don't have a WeeHoo, when I do get it, I get interrogations and complaints from my frustrated kids. God this is really great. Time to sort the dots: Pros: - Reliable and robust. - Easily attaches to your bike via the seat post. - Accommodates 2 kids and a decent amount of stuff in saddlebags. - Provides 5-point harness protection and a seat with backrests and armrests for little ones. - Passenger can step up to "help". '- Children's feet are strapped onto pedals or stands to protect them from damage.- Once you get used to it, you won't be slowed down much. Less drag than a stroller with a trailer - The chain is enclosed in a protective tube so it won't get caught anywhere - LOTS of fun for active families or those looking to become one - Kids love it. Well, there are no real "cons". It works as intended. Gives you what you expect. There are a few "considerations" before purchasing. Cons (ideations) - this thing is long. You want to make sure you have a place to park. This thing is long, you want to make sure you're comfortable with it and that the trails you plan to ride can take it. To clarify, there are some small trails in our unit, but the tight corners make them difficult to handle. - This thing has some weight, you need to make sure you and your bike can handle it. I recommend a short trip or two with an empty one. It certainly changes how you and physics get along during your travels. Install a healthy footrest on your bike. I know it's not fashionable to swing a stick on a more expensive two-wheeled chariot, but you'll struggle to find a spot to lean on this thing to keep it from falling. Requires a footing and the right angle on normally flat surfaces unless you want to put it in mud. Goggles or goggles are also worth considering. Your rear wheel will kick up dirt and rocks. Maybe a lot depends on your area. The passenger gets hit, and while it's not enough to cause problems if it hits an eye, it probably would. I've heard about extra attachments for more protection but haven't used them yet as it's not that big of a deal. Loading can be a little tricky. Once kids are on this thing your footrest or slope is not safe. A second adult is really helpful, but I load my boys all the time by straddling the WeeHoo and supporting it with my legs while it rests on my bike's footrest. The same applies to unloading. ALWAYS check the seats and mounting points before each ride. So far we haven't had anything that could get lost even easily, but vibration can weaken the metal.- Starting and stopping can be a bit difficult at first. Be extra careful. You need oncoming passengers. If children move their backs too much, you will feel it. It can be a bit annoying on slow straights, but can be dangerous at speed or in corners. Going downhill at about 18-20mph I could feel the bike shaking. I looked in my mirror and the reason was my senior in front was trying to peddle as fast as possible to keep up. Obviously, translation isn't good enough for this, so he ends up just creating a lot of sideways movement while jerking his legs and body wildly in his futile efforts. Another situation that needs adjustment is cornering at speeds north of 10 mph or so. When you come out of the bank, the children's reaction can throw you off balance and you need to change your habits a little. We had a safety briefing for the little ones, which is repeated in an abbreviated form on every trip. Do not pedal on fast descents. Hands stay on the stops, brushes stay on the handles. Remain fully reclined. Do not react during a bank spin. They are 4 and 5 years old. They don't stay completely still, and they don't have to. But it's very important for riders to understand that their movements affect the entire bike and be willing to sit relatively still. Trust me I don't want to scare anyone. I am middle aged, in decent shape and doing well. My kids are just wild kids and they're great at it. To be safe, I just want everyone to know that it's not as simple as load up, get in and drive. Safety must be considered. All in all it's great. There is nothing like it. my kids love it After a few rides I felt 100% confident, not forgetting the extra weight and space when braking and cornering. We rode over 100 miles in less than 2 weeks. We might even get a second one if the younger 2 get too big for a stroller with trailer.
