The clamp sucks!, March 4, 2009

This review is from: CoPilot Model A Double Bike Trailer (Sports)

Trailer is just fine. The clamp stinks because it keeps coming loose (trust me, I've put as much torque on it as my fingers can stand). Also, the clamp placement on the chainstay is too far forward. It contacts my heel and my wife's heel on her bike. The only remedy is to ride with the arch of the foot on the pedal, which is wrong.

I'm converting it to a hub mounted attachment, using a Burley skewer mounted bracket and altering the attachment method. Then, it will be out my way!

The kids love riding in it, it's light enough and has large wheels for the bumps. I do like the options for covering the babes with the front mesh, or plastic cover.

It's just the clamp that sucks!

Great trailer, January 18, 2007

April G. (Orange, TX USA) -

This review is from: CoPilot Model A Double Bike Trailer (Sports)

I have gotten so many complements on how cute this "buggy" is. The bike trailer is perfect for my kids (4 and 2) to ride in and they love it as well. Although they have to sit relatively close together it doesn't seem to bother them once we start riding. I did ALOT of research on ALOT of different trailers and I decided on this one because it looked more sturdy, has 20 in. wheels (for more ground clearance and smoother ride), has somewhat padded seats, and the seat is more substantial than some of the others in the same price range looked. It is also very easy switch it to a different bike because of the vice- like connector (verses the pin connector where there is a piece that has to remain attached to the bike even after the trailer has been removed). For the price I paid ($99.00- on sale, 50% off) I am very satisfied with what I got. I saw very little difference between this one and the ones that were very expensive.

Sturdy, comfortable, perfect, April 29, 2009

We bought this for our two Chihuahuas. They get too tired walking down to the Chicago lakefront, so we purchased this. After my husband assembled it, they both jumped right in! They were a little apprehensive about the movement, but have since gotten used to it. The wheels are solid and sturdy, as is the frame, making for a smooth ride for them behind our bikes. With the screen, they are enclosed but can see and smell everything we pass!

Crooze with your puppies, May 5, 2009

Motorhome Mama (Virginia) -

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Croozer Mini Bicycle Trailer (Sports)

I use this doggie trailer to tote my two cocker spaniels to the beach. They fit in pretty tightly, even though they are smaller than the average cocker. One weighs 20 lbs and the other 24 and they can lie side by side but there is no room between. They are able to get up and turn around and sometimes ride looking out in opposite directions. You will not be able to pull this in soft sand. You might be able to use it on hard sand but I have never tried it. It does add appreciable weight to your ride...you know it is back there. Of course, this is relative to the weight of your pet. If you buy this, put a towel under it when assembling so you do not damage the nylon cover on rough surfaces. This is very expensive but since it is designed for animals, it is what you need. I tried to adapt a child's bike trailer and found that it would not work, especially since it did not have a rigid floor.

Don't buy this here....., September 2, 2008

April T. Henley (Wayne, MI USA) -

This review is from: Coupler Attachment - InStep & Schwinn Bike Trailers (Sports)

We have a bike trailer that uses this and it is great, easy to hook the trailer on and off. We are ordering a second for our other bike. Instep had been out of stock for a while and they have them again. I am glad I never thought to look here because it is $8.99 on the InStep website and for me in Michigan it is only $4 shipping. That's $12.99 total which is less than the price of the item only here on Amazon. Had I bought this here I would have paid almost $20 for the item plus shipping.

Pieces were missing. Parts were broken. And instructions were half English and half something else. Have to take product to get fixed before I even use it.

Cannot tell it is there, August 30, 2007

Kathleen Wadley (Illinois) -

This review is from: Schwinn Trailblazer Double Bicycle Trailer (Sports)

We got this as a gift and were super excited to try it out. I decided I should be the one to have the trailer attached to my bike so I was used to it when I took our son alone. I could not believe how light the trailer was even with my almost 2 year old son inside. It was very easy to put together and attach to the bike. I wish the pictures on th instructions would have been a bit clearer. Our son liked the bike trip so much he fell asleep. It took bumps much better than I expected and moved easily. I was so excited that this trailer works as well as it does.

Nice Ride for Kids, March 15, 2009

Joshua B. Wager -

This review is from: Schwinn Joyrider Bicycle Trailer (Red/Gray) (Sports)

My husband and I read the reviews on this bike trailer/stroller and decided to give it a try.

When I got it in the mail it was VERY easy to set up; I think I only had to put the wheels in and open it up. My son instantly climbed in and sat there as happy as could be.

It is too wide to fit in regular sized doors. The wheels are easy to pop off (push of one button), and if you take one wheel off you can fit through any door.

The swivel wheel works great, however it does rattle a little when trying to jog with it, so I recommend also buying the jogging wheel attachment separately if you plan to use this as a jogging stroller.

The reclining seat is not much of a recline. It is leaned back a little but your child is still sitting up fairly straight. It is NOT a 5 point harness, which would have been a little nicer.

The one major complaint that I have about this thing is that I cannot fold it down. It is supposed to be an "easy one hand shut" and I cannot get it shut for the life of me. I don't have enough hand strength to squeeze the button down as far as it needs to go to get it shut. I have tried using my thumb, palm even both palms when squeezing the button and I can't get it shut. My husband has no issues, but I can't do it which is very disappointing because now I can't bring this anyplace by myself.

The cup holder does come off easily so use caution when using this. It is attached with just a hook so if you go over any bump it might fly off.

There is not much room for storage.

The seat is padded for the children which is a nice feature.

Not to well thought out., March 17, 2011

I've used this product twice and so far so good. Note to anyone buying this, you might have to do some altering to get it to fit (depending on your bike). I have three more recent bike models. All of which are geared, with quick release and of varying frame materials. Out of the box it fit none of them. My wife's bike which is around 8 years old worked fine. Since I was the one who was going to be doing the pulling, I had to make some serious changes to make it fit my bikes. After an hour of fine bending, grinding, sanding, painting and testing. I was able to get it on any of m y bikes.

The part is made of a soft alloy and made alterations easier, but I'm not sure how it effects the overall integrity of the product. After everything's said and done, more updating and R&D should have been applied to this product, but hey for $9 you can't really expect much.

Comment on Schwinn Mark III Double Bike Trailer and Jogging Stroller (Red/Gray) by Kickms

disappointed, August 16, 2007

Kickms -

This review is from: Schwinn Mark III Double Bike Trailer and Jogging Stroller (Sports)

Pros:
1.
Lightweight construction.
2.
Smooth rolling.

Cons:
1.
Lack of cushion: as other comments pointed out, baby actually sits on folded bars without any cusioning at all;
2.
Tendency to tilt in the jogging mode: its design renders the larger frong wheel to tilt the trailer upward and back, causing safety hazard.
3.
Too wide to pass through doorways.
4.
Product arrived with missing components.
5.
Handle comes as a separate part not integrated to the trailer; it needs to be carried separately and has to be installed/removed every time you fold the trailer for storing in car trunk.
6.
Mediocre safety belt design: difficult and uncomfortable to use; they do not have the convenience, comfort and safety provided by the types commonly found in regular strollers and car seats.

Overall:
Schwinn/In step intends to market Mark III as a higher-end product their product lines. However, it's quality and design do not justify its price and do not meet expectations. Would not recommend.
