Anyone have a bike trailer?

Do you like it?

Which one do you have?

I'll be riding mostly on the road around my neighborhood and such. My two kids combined weigh about 60lb (all the trailers I'm looking at will hold 100lb) I consider myself fit but not extremely so and I'm wondering how hard it will actually be to lug these kids around. Any thoughts?

  • We don't have one but I really want a Burley.  My neighbors have one and while riding the mom wrecked but the trailer never tipped.  They are pricey and I always watch for them on craigslist but they go fast. 

     

     

  • We have a chariot.  I mostly use it to walk, but DH uses it to bike and run.  We have the double.  It is the easiest stroller to push.  I love it.  I also love the integrated bug/sun/and wind shield. It also should go to 7 or so, when they can ride on their own.

  • I thought about a Burley for a while. I love to bike. But a friend spent $$$ on a Burley and they barely use it -- the kids get bored, hot and basically want to ride their own bikes. I'm always on the fence with purchasing one.
  • Hi! I have the Quick n EZ bike trailer which can be found on target.com. It retails for $119.99 I lucked out and found my trailer on craigslist for $50.

    Its lightweight with an aluminum frame with a durable 2-in-1 canopy, comfortable sling seats and 16" quick-release wheels with sealed-bearing hubs for years of maintenance-free use. The easy-close nylon detachable canopy has a mesh front cover with a roll-up plastic window for protection from the elements, interior pockets for storage and a toggle pull for a custom fit. Also has a universal hitch attachment and safety strap that keeps the trailer upright if your bike falls over. Includes an orange safety flag and reflector tape on all sides of trailer.

    My daughter absolutely enjoys sitting in it. GOOD LUCK!

  • We have a a gaint and dd loves it. Ours is a double and I have had 2 kids in it you can feel the weight but it's not that bad.
  • We have a Burley.  I'd rather have a Chariot. . . looks more comfy for the kids from what I've observed.
