InSTEP Presto Bicycle Trailer product details page

I was looking for a trailer so my two kids can sit and enjoy a bike ride in the back of my bike. They fit so comfortably. I have a three year old and a one year old. They are of average kid sizes. I was worried that my three year old might be uncomfortable but she was perfectly fine. Both the kids enjoyed the ride around to the park and through our neighborhood. I have a BIIIIGGG compliment to give to the trailer, I actually fell off of my bike my stupid petal broke on me, but even though i fell and got so hurt. The two kids were perfectly fine. The trailer didn't even tip over or move. They both didnt even know what happend to me and were perfectly fine. And let me say I got so hurt due to the fall of the impact, I was so happy to know that my kids are safe even though I wasnt happy that i fell, I was so happy to know in the future nothing will happen to them if i were to fall again lets hope not lol. Perfect trailer and I love it!

There aren't many alternatives in this price range, so I didn't expect that this will last forever. The ride seems to be fairly comfortable, at least my 2 year old is not complaining and fell asleep repeatedly. Easy to put together, fairly sturdy, no issues with the wheels yet. Plenty of space for one rider, very crowded for two 2-yr olds. Several issues - Recently the little one learned how to unbuckle himself - he cannot undo the carseat buckle - and I am concerned that he is not that safe anymore. The bottom sags down and straps need frequent readjustment. The net cover is not fine enough to prevent tiny pebbles from getting in, so we end up transforming it in a greenhouse with the rain cover on for longer rides. The snaps, as many other noticed, are very poor quality, one has already broken after a season of light use, but the cover is kept in place by the velcro strip. Overall, with some minor improvements this thing would be great!

Very pleased w/this bike trailer. I use it only for one child, but two could fit easily. Fairly easy to set up and sturdy, although not too heavy to pull. I only needed my husband to help w/un-tightening the nut on my bicycle. The attachment to the bicycle frame allows for a quick release of the trailer, for times when you want to travel solo. We even knocked the bike over a few times while getting our toddler settled, but the trailer stayed attached (and most importantly, upright) because the design of the trailer hitch attachment is flexible and bends easily when needed.

I just picked up this trailer this weekend and took it out for a 20-mile trip with the kids. It's a great value! The actual model I got was called the "Presto" instead of the "Journey" and it's blue and gray, I can't find any other info on that particular model but they seem to be the exact same thing.Assembly was very quick and easy. With the tires inflated all the way to 40PSI it rolls smooth. The kids (almost 2 and almost 4) were comfortable, though they're really just si tting in a sort of sling-style fabric seat setup, i.e. there's no framework under their bottoms. As long as it holds up, I don't see much problem.Lots of storage in the back, at the expense of maybe some legroom in the front for the kids, but they didn't complain and actually both slept in it on the way home. They were definitely sharing shoulder space in the middle, but it seems okay.We were torn between just getting this and waiting for call-backs on a couple of Craigslist trailers that converted to strollers. We could have waited and maybe picked up a used trailer for [$] less, but we wanted to get out in the sun. We're happy with this purchase. It does NOT convert to a stroller, and I can't find any conversion kits that fit it, but I also don't know that we'd use it that often as a stroller - the kids may get uncomfortable if they were just sitting and strolling slow. There's a hole in the front bar for a third wheel, so I guess we could rig something up ourselves if we could mount a handlebar on the back, but even as it is this is a great value!

We recently bought this so we could take our daughters on rides with us. We have a 21 month old and a 9 month old. The only down side is the manufacturer's suggested age is 1, so some people told me to put my youngest daughter in her infant seat. I can't fit both girls in that way, so I will have to wait to take them both with. My oldest daughter loves it, she says "weeee" the whole time! It takes a little while to get use to pulling the extra weight, but it is well worth the money. I nstructions were very easy, and it is very quick to fold down for easier storage. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I purchased this bicycle trailer yesterday to transport my 3 and 1 year olds on my bike. I LOVE it! I was a little worried about the quality because it was so cheap compared to other ones I have seen, but it is not made cheaply at all. There was plenty of room for both of my boys and even a pretty large storage area behind the seats.I keep seeing comments about the sagging. At first I was unable to locate the strap to tighten the seats, but then I found it. It is located under the seat, inside the area, not under the entire thing. The sagging went away and I had no problems.'My boys loves this and it's one of the best investments I have made yet. i put it together by myself, no husband needed, in a matter of about 10 minutes. The assembly was so easy, even hooking it up to my bike! I am so thrilled about this and I recommend this to anyone who is looking for one. Awesome product, I can't wait to go for another ride.Also, don't worry about the weight you have to pull. I did not notice it a bit. It was so smooth I had no struggles. It also has a pretty neat coupling on it that will ensure if the bike is dropped or falls over, the trailer stays in place. Very cool!

The price is right and the quality is good. I wanted this for my granddaughter (1 year old) because her daddy love to bicycle. She loves it and so does he. Sometimes her cousin gets to ride too, but it's nice for just one passenger and plenty of room for "stuff" to take along. You won't be disappointed.

If I could put zero stars I would. This has been kept inside and I've only had it two years. Went to pull it out this year and ALL the nylon straps fell apart. It's a bouncing kiddie torture chamber now. Worthless.

This was the best thong we bought for our daughter for Christmas 2010. She can come with us now when we want to go on a bike ride.. This was great. Easy assembly.
