KMS Child 3 In 1 Folded Bike Trailer Stroller Jogger Seat Buggy Lightweight Red Black 1-2 Child 5 Point Harness With Canopy Visible Flag

I looked around a few places (such as Argos and Halfords) before coming to Amazon for a child's bike trailer. Some trailers do not come with the optional handlebar and front wheel needed to convert the bike trailer into a jogging buggy (so you may have to buy this separately). This model comes supplied with the handlebar and front wheel though. It was almost half the price (including delivery) of the next cheapest model for sale here on Amazon and thirty pounds cheaper than Halford's SINGLE child bike trailer.

This model is a DOUBLE child trailer/buggy, but of course, you can use it with only one child in it as the strap system (5 point) for securing your child into the seat is very flexible - either 2 children side-by-side,; or one child in the middle. I got this for my 3 year old, but before he came home from nursery, my 11 year old daughter tried it out, sitting in the seat and she had loads of room! I was also able to push and spin her in the sitting room easily with the buggy attachment, so it makes even 5 stones seem light to push.

The instructions for putting the buggy together were at best, a good laugh. I think they have been translated too literally from German and, as a result, they make absolutely no sense in English (and the photos that accompanied them were not much help either), e.g. they tell you to "invaginate the wheel..." I ditched them, looked at the parts and thought logically about where each part fitted. I wouldn't even put a bike together, but in the end, this was really easy and took me less than half an hour, including getting the wrapping off and pumping up the tyres. Helpfully, all the tools you need - one Allen Key and a small spanner - are included in the box.

The whole trailer came almost flat-packed and the wheels click on and off very simply - most of the trailer/buggy's parts do (once you get used to them) so this would likely be ideal for putting in a large boot and taking e.g. to the park or on holiday.

The material is lovely and bright and much the same quality as the 2 3-wheeler strollers I have had in the past. The velcro fastenings are strong and plentiful. The buggy has a insect net screet and a raincover, both of which can roll right up for getting in and out easily. There is plenty of leg room and storage behind the seats.

In trailer mode, the wheels have side bars which act as wheel guards - this makes the trailer quite wide (it is already double buggy width afterall), but you can take these off very easily with push-button clips.

The front wheel and handlebars are easy to put on, although the brake is the only bugbear I have with this model - the brake works the front wheel only and functions exactly like a bike brake (calliper brake). That is, when in buggy mode, you can stop the buggy when you are jogging along by squeezing the brake with your hand, like you would to stop a bike. This seems utterly pointless to me - you can just stop running and pull the buggy to a stop! Again, this silly caliper handbrake is the ONLY brake. There is no parking brake at all. A buggy with no parking brake isn't ideal. However, this is a feature of more expensive trailers too and doesn't affect the trailer mode.

This buggy-trailer, from this seller, is amazing value and made a jogger-trailer affordable for me. It is much better quality than some of the more expensive trailers. It's very sturdy, robust and easy to push. I'm delighted with my purchase and highly recommend it. Oh, and my little one loves it too!

After extensive reviewing of these sort of trailers, I opted for this one purely based on cost. It is very sturdy, and the assembly instructions were user friendly. The trailer has side bull bars which make it quite wide, but you can just leave them off if you prefer. The quick release wheels are excellent and the attachment to the back of my bike is dead easy. The weight limit is slightly higher than some of the other trailers, enabling my 5 and 3 year old to sit side by side in comfort & safety, whilst chatting away to each other out of the elements. The front wheel will be stored as its used in the buggy format, but a great addition to this trailer. Overall very satisfied with this item and the seller dispatched the item very quickly indeed.

I was a little dubious about buying this trailer as it was so much cheaper than anything similar on sale, and unlike most others it comes with the extra wheel attachment.

Now I have only used it once so far, so can't comment on the how well it lasts. Its pretty easy to assemble, and is relatively easy to fold down and easily fits in the boot of the car. I bought it for my 20month old twins, who both fit in it very comfortably. One thing I would say is that it states the maximum safety weight to be 26kg. Now my girls are about 11kgs each, so are already approaching the manufacturers weight limit. Some of the (much) more expensive trailers have higher weight limits so I think if you plan to use this often with two heavier children its worth bearing in mind. Also, if you plan on going on the roads a lot, the flag designed to make te trailer more visible to cars is actually on the wrong side, the trailer as obviously been designed for the continental market.
As we only plan on using the trailer occasionally for leisure, and mainly on cycle paths, I can live with these issues!

Another minor point is that the extra wheel to convert to a buggy is fixed, it doesn't swivel. Thus if you are going to use this as a jogger you would want to be avoiding tight turns.

The points i have mentioned are just niggles though and overall i'm really pleased with the trailer. It is great value for money.
