We love our trailer!

We are completely thrilled with our trailer. It seems very durable and can handle any terrain. The only reason I didnt give it 5 stars is that I would like it one star better if it had screened windows on the side. Our 4 yr old tends to get hot (Miami, FL) in the back and sweat. Just wish it was somehow more ventilated. Other than that the trunk is awesome, it is easy to get in and out of, and will be with us for many years!

As a stroller - SO much easier to push my 2 & 4 year

olds than my old double stroller. I havent put it on a bike yet, just got it last night, Im sure itll be awesome, but I have to say that as a stroller, it stinks that theres no breaks! I mean, theres this strap thing that you put in the spokes, very awkward, fumbly & time-consuming. Especially when you just want the thing to hold still so you can put your kids in. Definitely lost a star for that. Im trying to think of ways to rig it.

But its just so incredibly easy to push them once theyre in! Even over grass and up hills. I can barely believe Im pushing combined 110 lbs (including stroller). And I love how high the handle bar can be and that I dont kick the back of the stroller while Im walking. I am very happy and excited about this contraption overall!

We love it!

My children enjoy the smooth, comfortable ride in their new Schwinn Mark I Bike Trailer and Stroller Combination. Very easy to assemble! The large tires go over rough terrain without bouncing the kids all over the place. My husband loves how easy it is to attach and remove from his own Schwinn bicycle. I walk ever morning and night pushing the stroller and it pushes without a struggle. Would recommend it to anyone.

handy ride for the little one.

I like the bike trailer a lot its just that Im not in the greatest shape to pull it..so I have to really take my time and hopefully I will build myself up to pulling a 30lb trailer with a 23 lb toddler in it. The pull really works my thighs. I could not take it up a hill. Its very spacious, cute on my red schwinn bike. Too big for a car unless you take the wheels off. Perfect to travel in a truck or SUV. I was having problems with the small wheel dragging as I pulled it on my bike so I just took it off. For me its not too easy to collapse but my husband does a better job. Overall Id recommend it. Its sturdy and the price was good compared to others.

Great sturdy trailer

I bought this trailer based on the Schwinn name brand and the price. Im not a bike-aholic so I didnt need the pricey Burley. This one is very sturdy and a good price. You can seat 1 or 2 kids in there (the strap harnesses are positioned such that you can have 2 side by side kids, or 1 kid in the middle). I have a [...]girl and a 20 month old boy and they fit fine. They love it back there, and the ride is smooth for me as a driver.

There are 2 cup holders and you can store some stuff behind the kids seats. The wind and rain covers provide nice flexibility agains wind, rain, bugs, etc.

Im very much satisfied with this purchase!

First time using a bike stroller - love it!

I recently bought a new bike and needed something that would allow me to take my 4-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son with me. I figured that I would try the Schwinn bike trailer. Knowing that Schwinn is the name in bikes, I figured Id try this one! I did a lot of research online and needed something economical, yet not cheaply made.

I have used the bike trailer twice now and can honestly say that I love it. My two children fit comfortably in the trailer and there are even sippy cup holders for each of them. There is a nice big area in the back of the trailer for snacks, blankets, or whatever else we need.

It is tough going up hills with this on the back of the bike, but as long as you are on a flat surface, its no problem! It is the best exercise I can think of pulling them behind me. And they LOVE it...have such a blast in there!!! I would highly recommend this bike trailer to anyone looking!
