 Design flaw on attachment - Not safe!!!May 18, 2010
We used this trailer for a few months and noticed that there is significant wear on the al tube that inserts to the coupler attached to the bike. You have the coupler rubbing against the Al tube which is slowly putting a cut into the Al tube. It has not failed yet, but I don't trust having my kids in there anymore. Customer Service is not helpful at all. After 2 months of going back and fourth they are not able to provide any solution and decline that there is a problem with this design. Apparently they have not seen this before in their tests. Strange, there are two other trailers at our daycare with the same attachment mechanism and both show the same damage.
Do not buy this product or any other schwinn, instep. trailer that uses this attachment mechanism. Spend the extra $ and go for a different brand. They all use a different attachment mechanism.

My Child does not like itMar 07, 2010
This product might be great for a child that feels comfortable with zero support and is not upset by awkward straps. My son has tried this trailer out probably 10 times in the past year. We were hoping he would grow to like it. The canopy seats offer zero support for his back and the straps are quite awkward. I'm not sure how any kids would like this because my husband and I both feel like we should have spent an extra $100 or $200 for a better quality trailer. If your child is easy to please and is content with most situations, by all means, go for it. If your child is a bit picky and likes to feel supported - I would not recommend this bike. We are going to try and sell it on Craig's List for $50 - $75 to try and recover whatever money we can. Return policy is only 90 days at Target - and we are beyond that.

You get what you pay forSep 30, 2009
This is a cheap stroller - the manager at my local bike shop recommended seeing a baby bike trailer in person before buying one; I disregarded his advice and ordered this to try to save a couple hundred dollars over a Chariot or comparable, and after assembling it and trying it once decided to send it back.
My single biggest issue with this stroller is the restraint system for a toddler . It's inadequate, uncomfortable, and unsafe. It consists of a single piece of webbing going across the width of the trailer as a lap belt (there's a clasp, but no quick-release). And, there are 3 sets of vertical restraints with 2 shoulder straps and a crotch strap - again, each has a clasp but no quick-release. If you have a single toddler in the center of the trailer, the lap belt doesn't come close to restraining the child, as it's 2-3 times with width of the her waist. Within 1-2 minutes, our little girl had wiggled out of the shoulder restraints, and the waist restraint would let her slide the width of the trailer if the trailer tipped over.
The trailer comes with a notice that says, "Don't use above 10mph". I initially thought, "this is to avoid getting sued", but after evaluating the restraint system, I actually believe that this trailer is not safe above 10mph.
Second complaint is that you have to remove half of the cover to place the baby in the trailer, or take her out, or interact with her in any way. If you have a fussy baby like mine, this is a deal breaker.
If you expect to use your baby bike trailer with any frequency, and/or your baby's comfort and safety are concerns, I recommend spending the extra $200 or so and purchasing a higher quality baby trailer.

Good but it NEEDS A BRAKE!!!Jun 11, 2009
We bought this for out 13 month old daughter a few months ago and loved it as a trailer. I have recently taken up jogging and it rolls very nicely. I thought that there could be nothing wrong with it until I tried to stop on a very slight hill...there is no "parking" brake! The trailer needs to be stopped on very flat ground or it will roll away. I gave it four stars because it is such a great trailer and also jogger. It rolls as nice as some friends' expensive joggers but the brake is a safety feature that Schwinn should have thought of.

Great ValueMay 13, 2009
Great bike trailer without breaking the bank! The kids love it and it's easy to hook up and pull. Would definitely buy this trailer again.
