Review on InStep Bike Trailer for Toddlers and Kids with Single or Double Seat, 2-In-1 Canopy Carrier in Various Colors by Zach Sornsin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Suitable for occasional use but not for everyday use.

I want to love it, but there are some flaws. I learned that in the 4 days I've had it (have ridden it over 30 miles already). I haven't ridden it since it came in the mail! I like saving gas, getting in shape and taking my baby for a walk outside at the same time. I had no idea how much benefit it would actually bring (I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I plan to do it all summer). I follow the instructions very well, I never drive fast and I slow down when going over bumps, I installed it correctly, I did everything you should do according to the instructions. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Doesn't feel as heavy when pulling! Runs smoothly on flat surfaces. Rain cover to keep mud from splashing on my girl. Quick and easy to install. Easy. Folds flat but takes a minute - I lost a few small things I got from the store because I didn't realize there are gaps in the bottom back corners! DO NOT DRIVE ON DARK ROADS! Today I had to stop towing my daughter and carry her a mile because the lack of suspension makes her a terrible disaster on dirt roads! My baby cried 10 seconds after driving down the dirt road and shook as we drove so slowly! I loved it up to this point and immediately started regretting my purchase. I live in Alaska, half of our town is dirt roads! Overall: I'd say it's fine for occasional users, but if you plan on cycling a lot spend the extra money on a nicer trailer, at least buy one with suspension!

Pros
  • Designed to protect your child from the elements, the 2-in-1 canopy features both an insect screen and weather shield with rear ventilation.
