Top 10 Best Child Bike Trailer 2022 For Budget And Deal

I have to say, I was very eager to receive this product. After reading the many negative posts, though out shined by the positive posts, I was eager to see what this product was made of. I was very pleased at how easy it went together. The instructions were not too bad so they could not be understood. I also had a little help from a You Tube video I came across during my research of this product. I have posted the instructional videos in an earlier post, prior to me receiving the product.As for the trailer, I think over all it is a great buy for the money. Very well build, and not to hard to fold for storage. The initial assembly took me less than five minutes. It is pretty self explainatory for the most part. Remember, you are only spending less than $150.00 with shipping and tax. For the money it is a great buy. Every product has its pros and cons. If you want less cons, and much more pros, then I suggest spenting $500.00 plus on some of the top of the line trailers.I would not put my daughters in anything deemed unsafe, by any means. Right off the bat, if you are towing this trailer on a busy residential or city street, there is already a potential for an accident to occur from a motorist(even with the included orange flag). If you want to the decrease the potontial of an accident that is completely out of your control, I suggets you keep to usuing this bike trailer on a unshared bike path, or campground. Which is our intended use. Too many people out there that should not be driving. No matter how careful a bicyclist you are.As I said, the trailer assembly was easily assembled. In time, with practice, I am sure I will develop a system on breaking this down in under 3 minutes. Both rear tires held air to the maximum psi recommended. As did the stroller tire. It has a comfortable ‘bench seat’ for one or two children. And it even has a seat and floor board so your little passengers will not be siting in a ‘hammick” like seat and it will protect them from the elements of the road. It has a bug screan, with plenty of ventilation and a rain flap that folds up when not in use. The entire canopy is held taunt with industrial grade velcro. And the material of the entire trailer is double stitched and not made from flimbsy nylon. Which suprised me based on some other posts. It has a 3 way harness for either one or two passengers. I suggest you buy a harness anti-chafing covers. Which can be bought for $5.00 each where they sell childrens car seats and strollers. It also has shock absorbers on each wheel. There is even a storage area in the rear, for your necessities. It is not bad as far as the size of the storage space, in relation to the size of the entire trailer. It also has 6 reflectors, 2 on the front, two in the reat, and two on the wheels. Unlike some other trailer/stroller combination, the front wheel (which is included) is kept securely in a designated place on the rear of the trailer when not in use. The arm for conecting the trailer to the bicycle folds underneth the trailer. This way everything stays together, and you do not have to carry extra parts/pieces when riding/walking. The universal clasp fit right onto my rear quick release without any incident. And there is a spring in the arm which bends and swivels. So if you dump your bike, the trailer stays upright. When I was riding, I did not even know I was towing. I believe most of the negative posts are for the Aosom Trailer, which is offer on Amazon for $114.00 and not the Elite 11 for $134.00. I suggets spending the additional $20.00 and getting a trailker/stroller with a lot less negative issues.Now for the real test. I think I was more excited to get this trailer working than my daughter was. She is of average height for a 19 month old, and weighs about 28 pounds. With her helmet on, she had plenty of head room. Although, with the helmet on, it does push her head slightly foward, but not to the point where she was uncomfortable and wanted to get out. While we were riding she loved it. She was waving to everyone we saw. She thought she was on a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Float. And this is a very active child. And she did not want to get out.She even fell asleep in it 2 hours before her nap! Once we got to the store usuing a bike path and very low traffic roads, I converted it to the stroller. And what a sigh of relief not to have to remove my slepping daughter from the trailer, lock up the bike and trailer, and carry her (or let her run, with me chasing her everywhere) once we got to our destination.The brakes are nothing more than 2 bars the rub against the tires to slow down the stroller, not completely stop it. So if you plan to use this for jogging soley, I suggest you spend more money on a stroller with an adequate braking device or a true jogging stroller. It also does not have an emergency brake, which is why I gave it 4 stars. So if you are at the top of an incline, YOU MUST HOLD ON! Other than that, for the money, this trailer is great. I cannot wait for my infant to be of age to use this trailer with her older sister. I would recommend this to families who intend to use this for recreactional or light erands only. Not for daily jogging or as another means of daily transportation. If your intended use is for the latter, I suggest you make the increased investment.A few things I would like to see this company upgrade in future models is the following:!. Make some more room for the back of childs head while wearing the helemet.2. An emergency brake so you do not have to constantly hold it while in stroller mode. ( It did not tip over with my daughter and her diaper bag in the storage area).3. It has pocket built in on either side of the interior. Perhaps a drink and snack holder could be incorporated.$. Folded, it is quite heavey. When assembled, the weight is distributed. Though, it would be nice if it were a bit lighter.This is a good product. I have already listed the pros in the first part of my post. For a person that does not ride everyday, I could not see spending $500.00 plus on something I might use several times, or less, a month. If your bicyle is your primary means of transportation, than I would make the increased investment. For me and my family, this trailer/stroller is perfect for our life style. Remember, you get what you pay for.

I bought this trailer to take my 14 month old daughter on bike rides. Knowing nothing about bike trailers I did some lengthy research. While I found MANY trailers priced well over a couple hundred dollars, this one fell right into my budget.I was considering purchasing a used more expensive trailer but the more I researched, I found that the more expensive ones offered features (larger tires, different canopy system, different color schemes, brand name price inflation, etc.) I didn’t need or thought were silly (like a tire for the tow arm to convert the trailer into a walking/running stroller).After all the researching, review reading and expert consulting I decided to buy the InStep Sync Single Bicycle Trailer. Amazon had the cheapest price and with 2-day free shipping I didn’t hesitate to order.The assembly was very simple. There was nothing really to it really as the carriage is already assembled with the canopy already attached. There were only 3 other parts that needed to be attached: tires (which snap right in), tow arm (which slides in and safety cotter pin holds in place) and the caution flag (again 2 second pole construction and slide into frame).Bike connection might have been the most difficult task, which wasn’t so difficult for me since I’m very familiar with how my tire/axel comes apart. If you have a quick release axel shaft on your bike, the installation of the hitch will take you less than a few minutes. If you have a bolt style axel, it will be slightly more difficult as you will have to remove the bolt, place the hitch assembly on, replace the bolt and reposition your tire to it’s original location before tightening. TIP #1: If you have a bolt style axel, outline the bolt on the frame before removing it. This way you can reposition it to the same location before tightening it. TIP #2: Watch a youtube tutorial on installation will definitely help. I did that and didn’t even have to consult the manual!Before taking off on your voyage, do make sure the tires are at proper inflation before setting out. I found that the tires were significantly under pressure. And also tighten all the straps on the carriage that hold the canopy on the frame. Many were loose but a quick pull of the straps made everything fit better.The side window panels are flexible plastic and do not have an option to open for ventilation. Both the front and back have a roll-up plastic that expose a screen for air flow-thru. Velcro hold the plastic window in place if you choose to keep it down. The front entry flap and entire back panel is secured by a long velcro strip and buttons on each side. didn’t find any issue with that, however it would have been nice if the manufacture provided extra material after the velcro to overhang and provide a flap to grab to unvelcro and to also provide more of a air stopper from going through areas that weren’t as secure.Connecting the trailer was a cinch after the hitch assembly was on. TIP #3: this might sound weird but positioning your bike perpendicular to the trailer allows you to very easily insert the trailer arm into the hitch assembly on the bike and slide the secure pin through both piece without difficulty. If you don’t do it this way, you will be bending the spring while trying to insert into the trailer hitch which is very difficult. don’t worry, the moment you pull off the trailer will align correctly.Pulling the trailer wasn’t as noticeable with my 14 month old daughter as it was for my 5 year old 50lb niece! It required a lot more effort in peddling when my niece was in the trailer! You really couldn’t tell the trailer was connected if it wasn’t for the drag of a heavier passenger. you have full operation of your bikes turn, cornering, etc. as the spring between the bike and trailer create that nonexistent trailer feel.I took my 5 year old niece for a ride and got some feedback on trailer from her perspective. She said when the windows are down (no flow-thru) the cabin stays nice and warm. We went for a right in 50 degree weather so the cabin staying comfortable was preferred as I didn’t want her getting cold. She also noted that she could feel the slightest bumps. You might be able to deflate the tires slightly to hep with that, although with no shock system, the passenger will always feel the imperfections of the ground. Riding on smooth payment would eliminate this concern. Over all, she enjoyed the ride so much that she fell asleep!Overall, very please with the purchase and would recommend to anyone wanting to take your little one for an excursion!

The media could not be loaded.  This is a review of the InStep Sync Single Bicycle Trailer.♦I purchased this at full price on Amazon about three years ago.♦Meet Wrigley, the 4-year old Maltese who has us wrapped around his fluffy paws.♦WHAT’S IN THE VIDEO? (1) ride with GoPro mounted to back of seat post, facing trailer: going over bumps; riding at 10 mph (max recommended speed) and 15 mph (not recommended); transitioning from street to sidewalk to street; riding up switchbacks; (2) ride with GoPro mounted to bicycle handlebars following trailer; (3) ride with GoPro mounted to car windshield following trailer; (4) assembly + tour of trailer and storage tips; (5) changing the tube on a tire; (6) installing coupler (piece that attaches to bicycle)♦SUMMARY•SAVE: As long as you’re aware of the drawbacks (listed below), I think you’d like this trailer if: (1) budget is a primary consideration; (2) it will only be used for one child and then re-homed; (3) it’s important to have a narrow footprint (to fit easily through interior doors and stay completely on the sidewalk or bike lane); (4) you ride at a leisurely pace (max 10mph).•SPLURGE: I think the premium double trailers are worth it if: (1) you’re willing to spend three to twelve hundred plus; (2) you like to ride at a faster pace (> 10mph); (3) it’s anticipated that the trailer will be used for many years; (4) it will be used for multiple children or grandchildren; (5) you’re looking for a stroller conversion option (Pacific Cycle no longer makes a stroller conversion kit for the InStep); (6) you’d like the option to use as a cargo trailer as well (with seats that fold down)♦I SAVEDThis trailer is at the bottom of the price range; when I purchased, I couldn’t even find used trailed for much less. I thus decided to take a chance on this, knowing that if little bipeds are in our future, I could upgrade to a premium double trailer.♦THEN I SPLURGEDIn the midst of crafting this review, I stumbled upon  Burley Design Tail Wagon Bike Trailer, Yellow/Black  (get it?) (TW), a trailer made specifically for fur babies. The alloy wheels capable of going 15 mph, the solid platform, the stroller conversion kit, the mesh sides, and the option to use as a cargo trailer with a 75lb max capacity appealed to me. Seeing a good deal on it, I ordered somewhat impulsively about 5 months ago. Although I do feel that the quality is worth the price tag (four times the InStep), I still have the InStep and have no regrets in purchasing it.♦MY EXPERIENCEThe trailer is easy to pull: my husband towed it for the first time when filming and he was expecting it to be much more difficult.•ASSEMBLY & DIS-ASSEMBLY: I remember the InStep being quick and intuitive to put together. Setup/collapse should take no more than 5 minutes. The coupler is simple to install as well. I found it worth it to purchase an additional [inexpensive] coupler  Coupler Attachment – InStep & Schwinn Bike Trailers  for each bicycle that will tow the trailer, instead of switching back and forth.•WRIGLEY RIDE: Initially, Wrigley would ride in one of these strapped into the InStep’s seat  American Kennel Club Pet Booster Seat . We since upgraded to  K&H Manufacturing Mod Safety Seat Gray 15-Inch by 15-Inch by 15-Inch , which Wrigley uses in the TW and his new Burley Solstice Jogging Stroller. Wrigley’s harness is connected to the built-in child harness using a seat belt loop and webbing. When riding in the summer, Wrigley wears his Ruffwear Cooling Vest. He also brings a bowl of water and a cooling towel. We’ve taken rides up to 40 miles with the InStep.•WHAT I LEARNED THE HARD WAY: The trailer *will* tip over if too many items are loaded in the back or bumps/corners are taken too fast. Ever since a too-close encounter with a car, I make sure to unclip my cleats well in advance of each intersection so I can prepare to stop. No matter how hard that hill seems, DO NOT run the chain from the big front chain ring to the biggest rear cassette cogs, or from the small front chain ring to the smallest rear cassette cogs. This is called “cross chaining” and may cause the rear cassette and deraileur to break off your bike. [Note: this could happen when pulling any trailer or none at all]•STORAGE: When I collapse the InStep and store it under a bed, I put a pool noodle around the tow bar so it doesn’t scrape the floor. Bungee cords keep everything in place.♦CONS(IDERATIONS)•PLASTIC WHEELS: Many other reviews mention this. I really haven’t had a problem with this and don’t think it should be a deal-breaker. I did notice that it’s easy to over-inflate the tires (i.e. the tire bulges and one side of the tire wall comes out of the rim). To avoid this, I hold the top and sides of the tire in place while filling it.•DURABILITY: My major concern is that the webbing that serves to tether the trailer and bicycle is tearing where it screws onto the tow bar. After re-reading the instructions while writing this review, I realized that I may not have been wrapping the tether as recommended. Thus it’s possible that I caused excess wear and tear. Although this is a safety concern, I consider it maintenance, akin to replacing tires or brakes on a car. It would be nice if InStep sold these as replacement items. My plan is to buy a piece of webbing and either screw it down or wrap it around the D-ring by the screw. I don’t think there’s an inherent flaw on the instep, but the design and strap quality on the TW seem far superior.When unfolding the side walls, be sure not to let fabric get stuck in the “pinch points” as this will cause stress and weaken the material. The trailer has developed three holes about the size of thumbtacks in the fabric in the bottom towards the back. I think they were caused by the frame rubbing against the fabric while collapsed. I plan on ironing on patches in hopes that the holes do not increase in side.The webbing around the trailer doesn’t seem particularly weak, but if I had to guess what would wear out or fail first, that would be it, particularly where it goes around the side of the frame to support the seat. If I had to replace this webbing myself, I’d consider it more work than the tether, although still a reasonable do it yourself project.•NOT FOR CARGO: Cargo trailers have solid bottoms. Unless you can MacGyver a platform to sit on top of the frame, the sling type bottom and seat are not well suited for hauling inanimate objects. There are many cargo trailers available, some of which are in the same price range.•OTHER OBSERVATIONS: There are gaps where the fabric meets at each of the corners of the frame. Put small objects in larger containers or bags to prevent them from falling out. [Note: this isn’t unique to the InStep] The sides of the trailer are clear vinyl. Since we live in a hot climate, I’d prefer that they were mesh like the front, with weather covers that can be rolled up or down as needed.♦INSTEP vs. OTHER TRAILERS: I’ve had the TW for about five months now (as well as the two-wheel stroller conversion kit ordered separately). Although most shoppers aren’t choosing between an economy Single Trailer for Children and a high-end Dog Trailer, here are some first impressions of the differences:•+INSTEP: The InStep is significantly narrower than the TW, which makes it easier to maneuver both indoors and out (going slowly and carefully, the TW fits through our exterior door, but it is too wide to get through our interior doors without removing a wheel). I prefer the fool-proof way the InStep’s wheels click into the frame. Once, I must not have inserted the TW’s wheel axle fully into the trailer’s axle. Just as I was approaching a bike shop, the wheel came off, bending the axle. Luckily, the mechanic was able to straighten it out, or we would have been in trouble. Fortunately, my two other Burleys (Solstice & Travoy) don’t have the same design. Although the InStep doesn’t have a brake, the footbrake on the TW is less than ideal. It has scraped curbs on more than one occasion.•+TW: The TW comes a removable handlebar. Even before I ordered the stroller wheels, this made it convenient to move the trailer without dragging it by the tow bar. It’s easy to pinch fabric when opening/closing the frame of the InStep; the design of the TW prevents this from happening. The sides of the TW are mesh vs. the InStep’s vinyl. The tow bar on the TW is detchable, which is preferable for storage; the InStep’s folds under and locks into place. The TW has alloyed wheels vs. the InStep’s plastic ones. Both are 16”, but most premium child trailers come with 20” wheels.Two-Wheeling Tots is an excellent resource comparing different bicycle trailers. If/when I purchase a double trailer, I’ll definitely look there first.♦SAFETY FIRST: check the Consumer Product Safety Commission for recalls of whichever trailer you choose•INSTEP GUIDELINES: (1) do not exceed 10 mph; (2) always ride with the included safety flag; (3) child maximum weight: 50lbs; (4) total weight (child + cargo) cannot exceed 65lbs; (5) never put more than one child in the trailer at a time•AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDATIONS: (1) infants younger than 12 months should not be carried on a bicycle by any means; (2) bicycle trailers are the preferred method of carrying children; (3) children should wear helmets 100% of the time.•LIGHT UP THE NIGHT: I use this reflective vest  Nathan Cycling Vest, Hi-Viz Yellow , designed specifically for cycling with a long tail in the back. This blinking tail light  Planet Bike Blinky Super Flash 1/2-Watt Blaze LED Plus 2 eXtreme LED Rear Bicycle Light  gets clipped onto the back of the cyclist or bicycle trailer. The NiteRider MiNewt 600 lumen USB-rechargeable light (discontinued) is one of my favorite items ever.♦SPECS•MEASUREMENTS I TOOK: (1) width (wheel to wheel): 25.5”; (2) height (assembled with wheels): 31” (flag is an additional 38.5”); (3) frame: 19” (w) x 31.375” (l); tow bar adds additional 18”; (4) wheels: approx 15.25” diameter; tires: 1.625” wide; (5) approx 22lbs incl. 6lb wheels•MISCELLANEOUS: (1) the tires can be filled to 36 PSI and use 16 x 1.75” tubes (Schrader valve); (2) made in China; (3) seat has three vertical slots so shoulder straps can be adjusted; (4) each side of the seat has a small elastic pouch that can be used for a drink, snack, small toy, phone, or something similar in size♦PACIFIC CYCLE (MANUFACTURER): Excellent customer service. I’ve contacted them several times (not due to any problems) and have always received quick, courteous, and knowledgeable responses. They even sent me a complimentary safety flag when my original went missing.♦MAINTENANCE TIPS: Prior to owning a road bike, my dad or husband would always take care of pumping my tires. If I got a flat, I’d bring the bike in to the shop. If this describes you, please let me encourage you. Learning basic bike maintenance (cleaning & lubrication, safety checks, fixing a flat, and minor adjustments) has been empowering for me and not too difficult, especially in the internet age. It saves time, money, and stress. Read Sheldon Brown to learn all you ever wanted to know and more about bicycles.•PUMP ‘EM UP: A floor pump makes it easy keep tires properly inflated. I check mine before each ride. The Trek Bontrager Turbo Charged HP is fantastic for adult-sized wheels. However, the chuck (part that attaches to the valve) is large, making it more difficult to use on little wheels.•BE PREPARED: These items are kept in  BV Bicycle Strap-On Saddle/Seat Bag, Medium, Black : (1) patch kit (glue kind is best); (2) spare tube (tip: coat it in cornstarch, fold it up tight, wrap it in cling wrap and a Velcro cable tie); (3) tire levers (Pedros are best); (4) multi-tool with wrenches, screwdrivers, and a chain tool; (5) master chain link; (6) spoke wrench; (7) tire boot; (8) CO2 kit (adapter head and cartridges). A compact air pump is mounted to the side of a water bottle cage.•FIX-A-FLAT (YOURSELF): Once you get the hang of it, repairing flats and changing tubes, is, well, like riding a bike. Instructional videos abound and I recommend practicing at home first. 16” tires (like on the InStep) are particularly easy to change. Whenever there’s a flat, it’s important to figure out what caused it. For example, it took several flats on my then-new road bike to realize that the spokes were poking holes in the tubes. Once tape was added between the tube and the wheel, the problem stopped. *If you can’t find a hole in the tube, submerge it in water and look for bubbles.•FIGHT THEM BEFORE THEY HAPPEN: Living in the thorn capital of the universe, I am forced to take defensive, proactive measures. There are several options to fight back, each with advantages and disadvantages. I use all four in different combinations on my various “things with wheels” (as husband calls them). (1) Puncture-resistant tires (e.g. Continental Gatorskins, Serfas with FPS, Specialized Armadillo); (2) Tire liners (e.g. StopFlats, Mr. Tuffy); (3) Thorn-resistant tubes; (4) Sealant (Slime is the best-known, but I strongly prefer FlatAttack). From what I’ve read, (2) and (3) increase rolling resistance the most (a negative).

My only regret is not buying this trailer sooner – my toddler loves going on bike rides, and Schwinn just made it easier and safer to get the wind in our hair. This trailer is sturdy and doesn’t affect how I ride, I just need to be mindful of the width because we have a larger footprint now.I have an e-bike (a Rad City Step Thru 3 from Rad Power Bikes), and originally had my toddler in a Thule Yepp – a rear-mounted child seat that shifted the center of gravity uncomfortably high for me. My husband had no problem with the kid, but I am a poor counterbalance and we fell more often than I would like to admit because the weight was unnaturally high and too heavy for me – enter trailer shopping – not just for weights and balances, but for my child’s safety.I was won over by reviewers assuring that if the trailer remains stable if the lead bike falls, plus I liked the apparent ease of child insertion and removal, and I just felt like I could trust Schwinn. So I similarly hope that this review helps other petite riders who aren’t loving their Thule Yepp.ASSEMBLY – The trailer was easily assembled in about 20 minutes. Only one part didn’t jive with my bike – we needed to replace the hub nut because the one that arrived with the trailer had an unexpected flange. My nearest local hardware store had what I needed for $0.40. After an empty-trailer test voyage, I loaded up the kid (a tall toddler) and we took our first ride – it was a success!STORAGE – The storage space in the back is a huge plus. I’ve shared a photo with a standard gallon jug for size reference. Be advised that the only firm section in the trailer is the child seat, so the sample jug was in an unsupported hammock; heavy items will center themselves and may eventually stretch out the fabric. This is perfect for lightweight hauling like picnic supplies, emergency diapers, and light jackets.REAR REFLECTOR – The single-kid Trailblazer does come with a tiny reflector on the bottom left, so I looped a reflective belt to the frame for extra visibility. We don’t often ride at night, but those short winter days are still great for riding. This belt does not affect access to the back, or any other canopy function.SPEED – Be advised that the trailer is recommended to NOT exceed 10mph…so we’ll learn to cruise at slower speeds.TL;DRBuy the trailer. It’s easy to assemble, spacious, and seemingly comfortable. Great companion with an e-bike with a small modification 🚲

So I actually got this for my Dogs and I! I require walking assistance and my dogs are small, we often take trips to the Coast, travel to different national parks and hike trails, the height on this cart keeps me and my dogs safe and comfortable well i walk, its super light weight and turns easy on pavement, have tested it out on some dirt with about 20 lbs in it! The only complaint or issue we have is that it is velcro and snaps, with a double sided zippers it would have been better; it could better keep water, dirt or mud from getting in well using! Compared to other strollers i have used over the years for kids and dogs, i also find the support on the bottom lacking, i may plan to put additional support, over all minus the few flaws it gets the job done and honestly is a really good stroller / trailer and i am happy with the purchase

I really like this product; however, it is crazy heavy as a stroller. I did a 5k with this in stroller mode and although it is super spacious, handles well, and was comfortable for my little ones, it’s incredibly heavy. I struggled so hard trying to get it uphill. Considering that other stroller/trailers are at least 10lbs lighter, I will sucking it up and paying the $55 shipping fee to return this.It’s also quite large. This is great for keeping the kids comfortable when in use, but it stinks for storage.Oh, and last but not least, the assembly directions were terrible. The photos are too small and the instructions are vague. I had to use common sense to assemble it without the instructions. We also had part of the plastic window puncture from one use because that part is not very thick.Great value for the cost, but ultimately, it did not work for us.

Awesome product I’ve rode about 100 miles with it now and it’s super light weight even with both my kids in there it almost feels like you’re not pulling anything! the fabric is holding up great also 10 out of 10 would recommend definitely worth the money spent

I love this cart its even big enough for my 9 yr old. The straps are great and its very sturdy for the light weight of it. Would but again.

Holding up well. Used for 30lb Westie. Tie short leash to top rail as she would jump out otherwise when she see’s a squirrel. Depending on the dogs attitude I would always keep the dog on a leash while in the carrier and keep it just long enough so she can sit but not jump out either side if she wants to chase something. The wind/rain screen just velcro’s on the sides and would not keep a pet inside.She cries every time the wife rides without her.You also need to put blankets/padding on the bottom as it is not even and the frame and rails would be uncomfortable.We have it connected to a Terratrike recumbent bike.It hooks and unhooks easily once the connector is attached to the bike.

I took it to a campground with my children and used an electric bike. I ended up giving rides to all of the campground switching out parent drivers

Light and Spacious. Fits both my toddlers and has a little trunk to put diapers.Wish the cup holders were bigger.

My kid loved it. Even fell asleep in it many times. Lasted all season & is currently being stored for next season. Very safe ride

I added a small pad for additional comfort, but not needed. Does the job toting the kid around!

So happy I went with this trailer. I’d be surprised if there is a superior competitor on the market!

I bought the item not really knowing what to expect but I have to say it’s very roomy, safe. You can sit two kids in it or just one in the middle.
