Works Great

On: 2008-06-27

This baby trailor works great the one hitch is that the children carried in it need to be a little older than 15 months. It is rated for 3+ and I imagine th main reason behind that is the bumpy ride that goes along with riding in this carrier. There is no shock protection built into this cart and the wheels are large but not as large as a bicycles tires. I dont plan to use it as a stroller because it looks like it wouldnt work as well as a regular jogging stroller.

Pretty good trailer

I am very happy with this trailer. There is only one reason I didnt give it 5 stars. One of the snaps on mine is not in the right spot to snap the top. It works fine without it though. Otherwise, it is light weight and is built well.

It's too big to get in and out of my front door, or suv

On: 2008-05-26

Its light and sturdy, the snaps snap tightly, easy to put together. However, it is too big for me to get through the front door of my house! One needs a garage to store it in. Once I put it together I realized I have to take it apart to get it outside and I dont have a garage so its just sitting here in my living room. Also, it will only fit to one bike as it comes with only 1 coupler. It wont attach to multiple bikes like other bike trailers will. Looking back I would have definitely investigated this further.

Good for Kids

Not a bad little trailer. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble, then another 10 minutes to air up the tires & hook it up to my bike. The harness is a little hard to manage with two kids in it, but its not too bad.

The trailer itself is light (loaded with kids is a different story). Once you get it moving, you hardly notice its there (except for the screams coming from behind you).

Best 'family' gift I purchased.

I buy my friends with children group gifts that all the family can enjoy. Even though this gift was intended for one, it allowed the entire family to ride together - which was very important. Well constructed, easy to assemble, easy to attach/detatch. Highly recommended.

Great trailer and light

This is a great trailer for a great price. Its very light and hardly felt behind my bike. The only down side is the tow bar is light and does sway a little bit other than that Id give it 5 stars.

Great way to haul your toddler!

We use the Mark II for a stroller and a bike trailer. Works great and storage space in back is a great bonus. I cant believe how smooth the ride is as a stroller or trailer. The only negative is that there is no cupholder for you when using a stroller, but Im sure this is not most peoples main stroller.

Good value but could use a few improvements

On: 2007-06-27

The overall quality of this bike trailer is good. Very easy to assemble and light.

The seat and harness system need improvement. They could definitely be more comfortable especially for smaller children (under 2 years).

For anyone who seriously wants to use this as a jogging stroller, they should opt for the newer model with the larger front tire.

Harness system could be better

Assembly was straight forward and quick. Worked well as a stroller. A sun screen would be nice. Also the set up for the harness is a bit cumbersome.
