Works great but installation instructions need tweaking.

We bought the Trail-Gator a few years ago but I didn't leave a review until I accidentally stumbled across this product again and noticed some negative reviews. I have to admit we had a bit of trouble initially and unfortunately we had to figure out the best way to install it on a trial and error basis rather than relying on the documentation that came with it. I think the manufacturer needs to improve here. I find that most assembly problems can be solved by wrapping a layer or two of rubberโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Child seats and cargo trailers
Cons
  • Very expensive

Good idea, not the best design

**I didn't have the kit when it arrived. I bought the quick release pin and a few other parts separately and Revain gave me a discount so I won't let that affect my rating, but it's worth noting that ** takes forever to install. I'm a fairly competent weekend mechanic and it took me a few hours to get the torque specs right, adjust, adjust etc. The instructions are terrible (mine was torn). Eventually, if you use common sense, they will become consistent. The idea behind this product isโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pendant
Cons
  • Modern

Great concept that works great!

Failed to load media. I kind of wanted to take the kid on longer bike rides, but she rarely ran out of training wheels, and her kid's fixed-gear bike with small wheels never let her keep up. Tagalongs seemed like a possible solution, but they were big, heavy, expensive, and then she couldn't ride them. Then my wife found the Trailgator and it works like clockwork. I lock up the kid's bike, she gets on, I ride her through traffic and at speeds she can never pedal, and when we reach the bike lane

Pros
  • Biking
Cons
  • Good but not great
