XP:Bike trailer

nezwee

I just bought myself a new bicycle and we are looking to buy a double bike trailer so we can take DD out on bicycle rides with us. Does anyone have any recommendations for a bike trailer?

I've see a few on Amazon that I'm interested in but they range from $90 to $200. We'll be on paved paths and I can't see us using it more than once a weekend for about 10 or so miles. I don't want to spend an outrageous amount since it won't get an extreme amount of use, but I want something that will last through 2 kids and a moderate amount of bike rides.

TIA!

Have you considered buying one from someone locally off Craigslist? We bought our Wike trailer for a steal from a CL poster. I want to say it was $50 or $75 (for a trailer that would retail new close to $300). So far, it's been great. IMO, it's much better to buy a high quality trailer secondhand than a cheapie one new.

Agreed with the second hand. I've got a Chariot I'd recommend to anyone. I don't like the Little Tikes trailer at all. Get a quality one used and you won't be disappointed.

Thanks! I've been looking at the InStep models, but from all the responses i've gotten on here and FB it seems like either a used Burley or Chariot is the way to go.
