Good Bike Trailer but not great Stroller Aug 05, 2008 By R. Marion "Bert&Ernie"
The trailer was fairly easy to put together and attach to the bike. I was disappointed to realize that the handlebars and stroller wheel have to be carried separately when using the trailer. I thought they attached then folded out of the way but they don't. The harness system did take a few tries to get adjusted so it would hold my 9 month old son somewhat comfortably. It helps to tighten the front straps under the sling seat but not tighten the back strap as much. The shoulder straps sit kind of high on my son's neck near his ears but not to the point that it seems to bother him. There is no head recess to allow room for my son's helmet when biking. The inside pockets/drink holders are a nice feature for older children. The trailer is easy to pull when I am biking - the extra weight is barely noticeable especially on flat surfaces. I also enjoy inline skating but don't recommend this model for that or jogging. The stroller wheel does not roll very smoothly or as fast as I would like and the assemble rattles a lot when going a good pace. I had to keep lifting the wheel up to enjoy the outing. (I did order the Mark III for skating and it rolls smoothly in the stroller mode but I was disappointed with the quality for the higher price.) The trailblazer is a good trailer for the price if you don't plan to use the stroller feature very often.

Cannot tell it is there Aug 30, 2007 By Kathleen Wadley
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.

Great trailer Apr 05, 2009 By C. Sinosic "sleeplessmom"
I recently purchased the Schwinn Trailblazer Double as a 2nd trailer to keep at my parents' house. We also own a Chariot double. For the price,the Schwinn gets the job done.

Positives - it folds VERY flat and compactly and is easy to fold (even while holding a squirming 11 month old), it is light, good ventilation, snack pockets, nice storage bin, handle bar can be set for different height parent, snap cover is easy to put on/take off, the front "arm" folds in for a very small "folded footprint"

Negatives - no shocks so is a bumpy ride, the front wheel is not very sturdy (when I ran with it, I tilted the stroller so the wheel was off the ground), small sling-style seat so the kids sit very close together, straps are not very adjustable and can be difficult to clip on/off, cannot be fitted with an infant sling, no sun shade

All-in-all, a great stroller. I would consider this as our only trailer if we didn't already have a Chariot.

You get what you pay for Sep 30, 2009 By J. Crim
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.

Love This! Jun 01, 2007 By Amy C. Short "OutdoorGrrrrrrl"
This trailer is GREAT! We actually bought it for our senior-age dog who has arthritis in his back. He's almost 100lbs. & he fits fine! We had to do a few modifications...but the trailer is so convenient. It folds up to the size of a folded-up lawn chair & has a pocket that the wheels slide into. It also seems to have a universal-fit to all bikes. It's easy to manuever and very stable!
