I Need to Buy a Bike trailer...any Advice?

I agree...I have the Schwinn and have really no complaints about it. I bought it on-line last spring and paid about $165 (compared to the burley for over $250)...that was the cheapest I could find in stores or on-line. The only complaint I have is the buckles are VERY tight and difficult to get out. I think I will buy small hooks (I don't know what they're called, but they look like climbing hooks) to use. Someone suggested that on a reviewer site. I use it in the street and on the sidewalks and it works out great. I'm very happy right now that I didn't spend the extra money b/c I'm very happy with the one we have now.

Save your money and get the one Target sells for about $100. I think it's by schwinn. I bought it 8 years ago and it still works great. I carted my two boys around til they were 5 and 7! Never thought I could get so much use out of it.

It comes with an attachment that goes on the wheel of your bike (in the center of the spokes) It clips on easily, folds up easily for storing and is very safe. I ride in the street with it and cars are always very cautious driving by, knowing there are children in there.

Have fun, you'll love it.

I got an InStep on Amazon for around $80-$85 and it's almost perfect. We use it for leisurely rides to the park about 1 mile away and as a stroller at times. My only complaint is that-never having seen the inside of a bike trailer before-I assumed it would have a hard seat and the one I bought did not. It was more of a sling-style seat. Our toddler has never made issue of it, so neither have I.

I would check Amazon and read some of the customer reviews. If you're not a serious cyclist, something under $100-$150 should be easy to find.
