Schwinn Echo Child Bike Trailer, Max of 2 Children with Total Weight of 80 lbs., Canopy, 20-Inch Air-Filled Tires, Yellow/Grey

The HTFU review was the best. My hubs and I BOTH laughed at that one. Thanks goes to the author! Now for my opinion: Buy this trailer. I invested MANY hours into finding the best trailer for us. I compared trailers until my eyes bled. This is the best one I've found. As for assembly, well, I have a history of not putting things together quickly, or correctly, but I knocked this trailer out with the quickness. Like, under 3 mins. Without instructions. Easy peasy. At first there was a plastic "smell" that once assembled and let to sit for an hr, was gone. This is bright yellow and navy, and looks to be perfect for our needs so far. We have 2 boys, 2&4, avg ht/wt, and they fit perfectly with enough space around them. Plenty of ft room (lower than the seat). There's a elastic fabric pouch on each side for kids drinks too. The 3pt harness buckles are padded and quick pinch release. Also there's a center crotch belt which allows for single rider conversion. The seat appears comfy and I hear no complaints. Matter of fact, I hear NOTHING- they are completely silent while riding because they are enjoying it so much! Large rubber tires make for soft ride. It pulls SO easily too. After I pushed off for the first time, it was so light and easy to maneuver, that I thought I'd already lost the trailer and was riding solo, lol! I was amazed and delighted at the ease. I use a beach cruiser to pull this (the S.G. Komen pink bike) and so far, so good. Yes, that's me with the bright pink bike pulling the bright yellow trailer- which is why the dorky flag is unnecessary, YOU WILL SEE ME, and a lot sooner than you'll see the tiny flag whipping above us. I've tested the concern of the bike trailer tipping over while attached to the bike already- it won't. But you will sure look dumb as you pick your bike back up, lol. Trailer didn't budge. I haven't bought helmets yet, seems kind of silly, since we don't go on busy streets or even out of the neighborhood. But I imagine there's adequate room for them while worn. Oh! AND, there's a TRUNK on this baby! It will easily accommodate a large diaper bag (prob 3,if stacked), or a med sz cooler, or a good bunch of groceries.... PLENTY of space back there! This breaks down fast and could easily be thrown in a trunk. Also, the top fabric snaps down to enclose for garbage weather, or rolls up. I haven't put mine on, the boys love the convertible!

I was hesitant to purchase this site-unseen but based on the other reviews I went ahead and took the chance. Once we received it I pulled it out of the box and set it up in about 3 minutes. I only looked at the instructors after the fact to make sure I had done everything correctly. The set up is crazy easy. I love the pop in, pop off wheels. One of my favorite details is where the extra buckles are for the 2nd passenger: they have little padded covers to put over the unused buckles so that they won't be digging into your child's legs. It's very easy to convert between 1 passenger or 2-you just flip some straps around. It folds down really nice and small so I'm sure this could fit in the trunk or even backseat of even the most compact cars. The only negative I can think of is that there is little ventilation in the trailer, and that material is not breathable, so depending on the weather outside your little one could get pretty sweaty. Mind you I received this in July, in Texas, so I think my little guy would have been sweating either way. Now that the weather is in the 80's he seems pretty comfortable back there in shorts and a t-shirt. I didn't think the trailer was too heavy at all. I have a big ol' 29er mountain bike and the trailer is not cumbersome in any way. Attaching the trailer was super easy also. I have the quick release tires and it took me just a few minutes to get the trailer on. There are several YouTube videos that can help you if you are unsure of the posotioning. This trailer is a great value and I'm very glad I didn't spend more money on the higher end brands. This one is great and I'm sure it will be around until my son outgrows it.

I shopped all around, read articles, reviews, and even looked on CraigsList. I ended up buying this Schwin Echo Double Bike trailer. I got the double (even though I only needed a single) because the wider trailer seems more stable and roomy. For the price I was worried I was going to be let down, but I was not. I can't say I've experience a lot of bike trailers but here's why this one was perfect for me: 1) My little guy is 3 yrs/old, about 38" tall and 30'ish pounds. He sits perfectly comfortable in this trailer and I can probably get a few years before he outgrows it. 2) It was a snap to put together and looks very nice. 3) It has spoked wheels and rubber tires = smooth ride. 4) Once setup its easy to get on/off the bike (takes 3 seconds). I'm a weekend rider and didn't want to drop hundreds of dollars on a trailer I might only use 50 times in my life. I'm very happy with the purchase and would definitely suggest getting this one. It doesn't have a suspension so it's mainly for on-road use (not a big deal since most people won't go offroad with a kid in tow). When I bought this there were barely any reviews on it, so I was a little nervous. So I feel obligated to write this review for other people. It's a great trailer, especially for the price. No regrets. Not sure why this isn't way more popular, but I suspect it will be. Hopefully they won't raise the price for those who didn't get it yet ;). The only minor downside - which seems to be mentioned in the reviews for most every bike trailer - the kid's head gets pushed a little forward with a helmet on. The netting in the back is snug so if the helmet sticks out in back it will cause their head to push forward slightly. It's not terrible or anything, but I just ended up getting a sleeker helmet that didn't have the big back on it. Now all is good. You also could probably put a pillow behind the child's back to compensate a little so their head can lean back a little.

I think it has been great. Its real sturdy. The wheels are easy to take on and off. It folds down and is easy to store. It has metal wheels. Some other brands have plastic. The entire frame is metal. My son is 4 and he rides in it. I like everything about it.

awesome!!!!!, so easy to set up, sturdy and has plenty of room, i love the outside back pocket (kidproof), it definitely lives up to the Schwinn product name

Love this trailer! Attaches very easily to the bike with the pin and easy to fold and store. Glides and moves very easily. My one complaint is the flag—the pole ripped through the bottom and the flag is not permanently attached to the pole, so it would get caught on things and fall off. Removed the pole and flag completely—needs a bit more refining in that area.

We've only put about 15 miles on our trailer but we are thoroughly pleased with it. We use it with our 5 month old and Boston Terrier. It works out pretty well because our dog likes watching as we go by and our son likes petting the dog and feeling the wind in his hair so it's a win-win. Very easy setup and break down. Unfortunately it is a bulky item to pack but that would be the same with any bike trailer. My husband pulls this trailer with an entry level road bike and while you definitely feel the weight it is a very smooth ride and does not feel like it holds him back otherwise. The tires are great for the paved trails we were on and did not seem to slow him down when coasting at all. The storage in the back is great and we had more than enough room for what we needed to bring. We would and do recommend this trailer to people in the market for a trailer.

We wanted something to use to pull my 2.5 year old around town with our bikes. We mainly use it to bike to the park on residential streets or along the bike path by the river. We don't plan on using it on dirt trails or off road. With that said the trailer is very sturdy! The wheels came intact (some reviews said their tires popped immediately) and it seems to be made of good quality canvas. I like how the front is mesh with an optional pull down plastic screen for rain. The back window is mesh too which allows for good air flow. The sides are plastic windows. My daughter is 37" and with helmet she fits but her helmet rubs on the top of the trailer. Lately we have left the whole flap open to give her more room. This is probably the only season she will use it as she will probably be too big next year. She doesn't voice that she feels cramped in fact she loves to just sit on it and begs to go for rides. Seems to be a smooth ride and the bottom does not sag when she sits in it. For the price it is a good deal but not sure how it would hold up on rough bike dirt trails.

Super padre se arma y desarma muy fácil entra en una cajuela pequeña no ocupa espacio esta genial recomendado vale la pena

O trailer é de fácil montagem e já vem com o acoplador para fixação no eixo da bike. Parece ser muito bem construído e passa sensação de segurança. O meu filho adorou e, além disso, foi um enorme sucesso entre a criançada! Possui ótima relação custo-benefício! A única ressalva que faço é com relação a altura do trailer, pois, embora suporte uma boa carga, se a sua criança tem mais de 95 cm de altura saiba que não poderá utiliza-lo por muito tempo.

I purchased this to tour around my three year old grandson. He’s 40 pounds and probably at the upper height limit for this trailer. It would be nice if the crossbar was a little higher than a little guy could use it for longer.
