Good trailer with a few minor quibbles
Finally set this up today, and was overall pleasantly impressed. We got it for our older dog, who currently hates it, but hoping we can get her more comfortable with it :).It controls just fine in my test ride (couldn't get the dog to do it so trialed it with a 40lb bag of concreate). Not too much noticeable additional drag, which is nice.The trailer comes basically fully assembled in its folded configuration. Just clip in the wheels (two push bars that mate to each wheel's axle), and then unfold and clip in the cross bar.There are also some guards by the wheels, presumably to deflect things on the trail that might get caught (legs, poles, sticks, trees, etc.). Minor complaint in that these are the only things that require a tool to install (a 4mm allen key), which is not included (or wasn't in mine at least). Not great to not have a tool on something of this price, and given the target audience (sleep deprived parents), not ideal, but I'm sure one can be found in a junk drawer somewhere, if you don't have an actual dedicated set of them.The frame seems solid, and the fabric is pretty robust when tightened. I wouldn't have any worries putting kids in here at all.I think my only slight complaint is that the dedicated kid features (good solid seat) come at the expense of other uses (cargo or dog). The seat takes up a lot of the floor real estate since it sits at a backward-facing angle. Again, for this things actual marketed and intended use case, that is probably a good thing, as it is one less thing to go wrong. Just a tiny gripe for me and my off-normal use case.My only other minor complaint is that one of the wheels had the tire installed in the wrong direction (tires are meant to roll in one direction for maximum tread efficiency; this one one installed backwards on one tire). I may break out the tire levers and flip it around, but given the fact that this is not actually be driven and is just being towed, it's not that big of an issue. But again, given the price, I'd have expected a quick glance for quality control (yes, it means that this way all tire units are identical from the factory, which saves cost, but again, this is not exactly bargain basement, so I'd have liked to have seen the little more care taken).So far I'm plenty impressed with this, and really hope that we can get our dog comfortable with it. If not, we have a few friends with kids that will enjoy this a lot in a year or two.

Excellent Bike Trailer
This is an amazing bike trailer that not only looks great, but works great as well.Pulling this trailer out of the box and putting it together took all of maybe 10 minutes. It was extremely easy to build. It’s designed to be foldable for easy storage so the only parts I had to screw together were the wheel protectors on each side of the trailer. I had to get an Allen wrench to do this (which didn’t come with the trailer) so that was the only build setback.The material is high quality and built really well. I purchased the two-seater which has two seatbelts inside of it. The cover is easy to install (it connects using velcro strips sewn into the fabric) and was very easy to install and use. The front and back of the cover have both a netting which can be left open for more of an open, but protected ride and they have plastic windows in case it starts raining. All you have to do is roll up the plastic front or back window to make it more of an open air ride.Connecting the trailer to your bike is easy if you have a quick-release rear wheel. Just remove the quick-release, add the metal mounting piece, and you’re ready to connect the arm of the trailer to your bike. The end of the connecting arm is spring loaded so the trailer naturally wants to sit directly behind your bike. The turning radius for the bike is great and I’ve never had an issue with the rear wheel of my bike hitting the connecting arm of the trailer. The trailer connecting arm connects with a safety pin and a safety strap in case something weird happens and the mount comes loose from your bike.When you’re done using the trailer, you can quick-release the two wheels, fold in the sides and the mounting bar and it basically becomes nice and square to be able to store in the garage quite easily. It’s takes less than five minutes to fold the trailer for storage.I purchased the gray trailer and it looks great. It has a hint of green in the gray so it’s not quite the gray that you think it might be, but it looks very outdoorsy so it looks great.Overall, I’m really glad I purchased this bike trailer. The kids have a blast in it, it’s very easy to prep and connect and stores quite compact for its size. Great trailer!

It is okay for a rid around the neighborhood
I don't want to get out on the highway with it, but for a joy ride with the dog it is okay. My cats hate it.

Foldable Bike Trailer for Kids, Double Passenger Child Bike Trailer
This is is a very sturdy and well-made bike trailer. It was very easy to put-together and went together quickly for the first bike ride for the Grandkids when they came to visit. From the unboxing of the bike to getting the required tool to put it together and mounting to the bicycle was quickly and easily done in about 7-10 minutes. I only needed to get an allen wrench to put together the trailer, it did not come with one but that was not an issue for us.The outer canvas is very durable and made of quality material. It has netting to allow free-flow of air into the trailer to keep the kiddos cool on hot days, but it has plastic windows that can be zipped closed it rains or gets to cool for them. I have the two seater, so it has two seat belts to keep them secure during the ride. The cover was easily secured to the frame with strong velcro strips sown into the cover.It was very easy to mount to the trailer and it has a spring-loaded arn to keep the trailer behind the bicycle and it does not really affect the turn radius of the bicycle. It does have safety straps to keep it secured if the pin releases for any reason.When you are done it is quickly and easily disconnected. The trailer stores away flat and compactly until the next use.
