Great trailer for our toddler.
I have been scouring the internet for the perfect bike trailer for our two year old. We needed something that folded down flat and also accommodated his weight and something he could grow with. This trailer is great quality and VERY easy to put together. I love how much room is inside and the pockets for the water bottles and additional storage. Very lightweight and can’t even feel it on the back of the bike. For the price, you can’t find anything better.

Buy this cart!
Nice, quality cart. Easy to attach, smooth ride for the grandkids. Super bonus that it has storage space in the back for toys and snacks. Highly recommend.

Best trailer under $200
This is the best quality without breaking the bank trailer. I definitely like the spoke wheels rather than plastic. The aluminum frame is cleanly designed and folds down for storage easily. I would say I wish the straps for the harness were made of a different material more like you see in car seats that is soft and not easily twisted. The only other thing that would have won my 5th star would be if there was some sort of suspension to dampen the ride a bit. All in all, this is the best trailer out there for less than $200. I looks clean and is super cool.

Tire issue
I really wanted to be able to give this trailer 5 stars because my son loves it and it does have some really quality parts to it (the seat straps and fabric, the storage compartments, and the overall enclosure). However, for the price point, I was very disappointed with the build quality of the wheels and tires. At first we just thought it was a fluke that we were shipped two left wheels, so we ordered a replacement. But the second trailer had the same issue. I ended up calling the manufacturer and they said to just deflate the tire and flip it around so the tread was going in the right direction, but for $250+ I really don’t think we should be having to do that. (The tread going in the wrong direction made the wheel wobble.) We will see how it holds up over time. So far we’ve liked it enough to not give up on it completely.

Good trailer with a few minor quibbles
Finally set this up today, and was overall pleasantly impressed. We got it for our older dog, who currently hates it, but hoping we can get her more comfortable with it :).It controls just fine in my test ride (couldn't get the dog to do it so trialed it with a 40lb bag of concreate). Not too much noticeable additional drag, which is nice.The trailer comes basically fully assembled in its folded configuration. Just clip in the wheels (two push bars that mate to each wheel's axle), and then unfold and clip in the cross bar.There are also some guards by the wheels, presumably to deflect things on the trail that might get caught (legs, poles, sticks, trees, etc.). Minor complaint in that these are the only things that require a tool to install (a 4mm allen key), which is not included (or wasn't in mine at least). Not great to not have a tool on something of this price, and given the target audience (sleep deprived parents), not ideal, but I'm sure one can be found in a junk drawer somewhere, if you don't have an actual dedicated set of them.The frame seems solid, and the fabric is pretty robust when tightened. I wouldn't have any worries putting kids in here at all.I think my only slight complaint is that the dedicated kid features (good solid seat) come at the expense of other uses (cargo or dog). The seat takes up a lot of the floor real estate since it sits at a backward-facing angle. Again, for this things actual marketed and intended use case, that is probably a good thing, as it is one less thing to go wrong. Just a tiny gripe for me and my off-normal use case.My only other minor complaint is that one of the wheels had the tire installed in the wrong direction (tires are meant to roll in one direction for maximum tread efficiency; this one one installed backwards on one tire). I may break out the tire levers and flip it around, but given the fact that this is not actually be driven and is just being towed, it's not that big of an issue. But again, given the price, I'd have expected a quick glance for quality control (yes, it means that this way all tire units are identical from the factory, which saves cost, but again, this is not exactly bargain basement, so I'd have liked to have seen the little more care taken).So far I'm plenty impressed with this, and really hope that we can get our dog comfortable with it. If not, we have a few friends with kids that will enjoy this a lot in a year or two.

Classic!
Love towing this compared to my old Schwinn 2-child trailer. I downsized, one kid was enough for me - there's no way two would be possible with the hills we have around here. This is a nice size, really light, and the shield up front protects the child from rain/rocks/debris.
