Review 1 for Allen Sports AST2 Steel 2-Child Bicycle Trailer

I am a very over protective mother of 8 and wanted something for my 2 and 5 year old to go along on bike rides with us. This is well made, safe, and I can't even feel it on the bake of my bike! I love this thing and it gives me the little extra work out I desire when out biking. I can not believe they don't charge more for this thing, we love it!!!

We use this product daily, I love it! it's on the smaller side (but I used it with a 6 year old and a 3 year old). Now that only my 3 year old rides in it it's amazing! I think it would hold 2 smaller children great. Rides smooth and super easy to disassemble.

I like this trailer. Assembly and disassembly is easy and it fits nicely into the trunk. The frame appears to be rigid and should hold up over time. The only weak link I see is the spring which connects the trailer to the bicycle and it will probably last longer then we will need the trailer. I also should mention that our youngest grandchild loves the trailer.

I bought this because my 3 year old grandson was not content a bike seat, now he brings books, water and enjoys biking with his mom and 10 year old brother. He even asks to go biking. He has alot of room and the air circulation is great. I would recommend this to everyone. My 10 year old grandson even gave his lil brother a ride in it (he had to stay on the sidewalk and not "speed") and they both loved it. We all love it and it was easy to assemble and attach to a bike. Lots of smiles with this bike trailer.

Review 6 for Allen Sports AST2 Steel 2-Child Bicycle Trailer

has helmet pocket

Pros:
It was easy to assemble, fits two small children, quite light to pull it, great costumer service, warning flag is included
Most importantly: It has a helmet pocket.
The company should put this detail in the description, since it is an important feature. (Helmet pocket allows your child to wear a helmet and ride comfortably in the trailer. Most inexpensive trailers has a flat seat area, so the child has to tilt his/her head forward to make room for the helmet)
If you put one child in it in the middle, I recommend to put a small pillow behind the child's back, since the helmet pocket is closed there.
Cons:
It cannot be attached to my husband's old bike

Some of the frame was bent, but was simple to correct. Straps and buckles were rather rudimentary.

It holds 1 kid in the middle or 2 side-by-side, which is quite handy. The cargo capacity is much larger than it looks. I wish the stroller attachments were included and the wheels a little bigger, but overall I am glad I bought this.

Easy to pull, you don't even know it is back there. We only have one 4 year old riding in it and he fits fine, but would not be room for anyone else to ride with him.

My Daughter Loved this!!!

My 4 year old daughter loved this, I already recomended this to my friends. It was very east to assemble and connect to my husbands bike and i got another hitch for my bike from Allen's website. She fit in there great i was afraid because most trailers looked like they were made for babys and she is 4, but she fits great with room to grow still all the straps are easy to adjust and the weather shield is great. Also the pocket in the back even fits a gallon of milk which is great.

We love it. It is small, but it is very well made. No assembly required, simply unfold and put in snappins. Was very happy when tested with bicycle. Cant tell it's there unless your going up hill. Handles great, rides smooth, doesnt affect bicycle steering. The only negitive thing I can say is our daughter don't want to stop riding so we can rest.

Fun way to spend outdoors

I really like this product. Easy to assemble and fold for easier storage. There is only one downside to me: my son is a sturdy sitter, but when he falls asleep in the bike trailer, he tends to slouch, which makes me uncomfortable (since I can't see him). Getting a rearview mirror for my bike might help to solve this problem - we'll see.

My two girls love this thing! I have two daughters ages 6 and 3 that fit quite nicely in this. They are both very slim so it works well for us. I could see there being a fit issue for two average sized children, but for us it works just fine.

Fits 2 children, comfortable, easy for me to ride.

I just bought this bike trailer and tested it out, and I will update as time goes on.
My first impressions are that this is very functional. Not as cool looking as some other ones, but a lot cheaper. My son is 5 1/2 and in the 75th percentile for height and weight, and he fits well with my 3 1/2 year old daughter who is average sized.
To be clear: My son is not overweight at all. So a thicker set of kids may not fit as well. Also, I can see some fighting in the future. It is not roomy with both kids, but if they get along well enough, it should be fine.
I bought this because we are biking my son to school. He will be riding his bike while his sister rides in the bike trailer. I wanted room just in case he was too tired to ride. If you were to use this to have 2 children in a lot, you may want to find something roomier, especially if they dont want their legs to touch or something.
It was a good price, easy to put together, and my kids love it. There are even pockets where you can put waters or toys for the kids. I really like it so far, and hopefully it will just be for my daughter!

Works well with small children, probably 5 years old and under. I put my two boys in it today, and they fit, but they are small for their ages. Pulled behind my bike great and assembly was easy.

I love this trailer. I love that it is universal and can be used on almost any bike (as far as I can tell). I have used it with my 14 month old twins and they absolutely love it. It is small like other reviews have said. But, my twins are about 21 lbs each and they fit just fine with a bag thrown in with them at their feet. I am not sure how bigger kids would fit so you may have to try it out. There is also a small storage space in back. It was very easy to set up out of the box, which I was thrilled about (I am a single mom and hate putting things together). It is a great product for the price. Just what I was looking for.

As soon as we got it, we put it together, I love it. I was worried about storing things like bags when I go to the store with my toddler. I get a lot more excercise now that I got this, it's quite the workout with at 30 pounder sitting in it. I use it more than I thought I would knowing that a quick run to the store wouldn't be that inconvient for me since I know I could carry some bags in the storage place in the back along with a couple things with my toddler in front.

Looked for weeks at dicks, target, local bike shops, Craigslist, amazon and eBay for best product for the best value. Save yourself some times, BUY THIS ONE!!!! Owned for three weeks. Read some reviews saying some cheap parts, floor will rip, has not happened to me yet. All parts appear to qualiity. This is the best value anywhere for one of these bike trailers. I have not tested up to 100 pound limit, but I take my 6 year old and 3 year old for a ride together every night and they must weigh about 80 combined.

Recently my family and I decided that we needed to get in shape and decided that biking would be a good way to do this. After weighing all the options of how to bring our 2 year old along for the ride we decided to go with a trailer. I was originally going to purchase the Schwinn trailer stroller combo for $159, but my local store was out of stock so after looking a little more I found this trailer for $99.97. I am so glad that I found this one. First of all I saved $60 which was great seeing how i had just purchased 3 new bikes and a bike carrier along with this. We got this trailer home a honestly had it together and ready to go in 15 minutes. We took our first ride and my son loved it, what is nice is that with just him in the trailer he can sit in the middle and has a lot of room. There is storage space in the back and you can take the roof off for full visibility. It is incredibly easy to take anywhere to want to go, also attaching to my bike is very easy. There is enough room to put my 5 year old in as well (if we are going on along ride). My little guy is very happy in the trailer with a storage pocket on each side that is great to hold drinks. This trailer is very safe and stable, and you can't even tell that it is behind you. All and all I would recommend this trailer to anyone that wants to have family fun and feel safe at the same time.
