Review on 🚴 TowWhee - The Leading Bike Bungee Tow Rope for Kids, MTB & Cycling Stretch Pull Strap, Ideal for Extending Your Riding Distance with Your Child, Compatible with All Bicycles by Justin Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Take your dogs and kids with you

Ideal for running, biking and scootering in our energetic 30 lb Sheltie Poodle mix and 28 lb Mini Schnauzer. Attempting to ride a bike or scooter with a dog on a standard nylon leash can be dangerous as an unexpected change in speed or direction could cause the rider to fall and/or your canine friend to twitch violently. The tow rope creates just enough force to keep us balanced on a bike or scooter, but has enough resistance to keep our pups from jerking in random directions when they see a squirrel or something. If I give the command, the Poop Sheltie will drag *me* forward even if the road is flat. Bungee action makes it slick too! We both enjoy it (he seems to enjoy being complimented while on a leash) and it's one of the few activities that really bores him. ***Please note*** my dog has a deadlift harness. For safety and humanitarian reasons, DO NOT ride a bicycle etc. with a dog tied to a regular collar. Friends don't strangle friends for fun. (At least not without consent and a safeword, but dogs can't do that either, so please use the right harness!) The tow rope is also great for family bike rides. Kids can whine when their legs get tired and you're not close to your goal. I tried awkwardly reaching out and squeezing my hand many times, but it never ended well. We had several "protests" where one or more children said they could not continue. Parents can use the tow line to help tired children. However, make sure your child is comfortable with steering and balance. Especially if you have an electric bike and, um, you don't realize you're towing a tired toddler faster than they can normally pedal. A tired child may panic and slam on the brakes, then boomerang towards your rear wheel. I suppose so. ;)
