Sports reviews of InStep Quick N Lite Bike Trailer (Red/Gold/Grey)
Customer Review: Great trailer for the price
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I debated getting this product or the ibert safety seat (front carrier). Our first few trips with the quickn lite trailer seemed like a monumental effort, getting the trailer attached to bike, helmet on 13m.o., then buckled into the trailer. My baby was not happy about the helmet and this made the process of set up more difficult. I also found that the positioning of the seat pushed against the back of her helmet which then pushed the helmet down over her eyes! We remedied this by placing a short toss cushion that comes up to her shoulders behind her, this creates space for the posterior of her helmet. Now we've been riding all over and my baby and I love it! I'm glad we have the trailer as it has lots of space for stuff including two big pumpkins when we visited the pumpkin patch recently.
I have tried out the stroller conversion with 2 toddlers under 25 lbs each and found that it worked fine but definately not truly designed for this purpose. It is more useful in a pinch if you happen to be looking after a second kid and want to escape to the park but I would not recomend this option as an everyday double stroller.
I found the strapping/seatbelt device to be a bit flimsy and cheap in its design and construction but it does the job.
The general fabication and frame seem very sturdy.
It is very easy to pull behind the bike.
So far we have not used the trailer in bad weather or difficult terrain.
Customer Review: Great bike trailer for a leisurely biker
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I looked at all of the reviews for this trailer before I bought and thought it was a good choice - especially since it was on sale. When I received it I didn't even need to bother with the instructions, it was very easy to set up. However I did look at the instructions for attaching it to my bike - the pictures included in the instructions for attaching the trailer were not clear at all and for a person fiddling around with bike parts for the first time, it took more effort than I had planned for. But once you get the latch on the bike, taking it on and off is a piece of cake. So, I got it on and could not be happier. My 18 month old loves it. I can ride my bike around my neighborhood in the evenings after work to get what little excercise I can fit in during the day. My neighborhood is hilly, but the ride is extremely smooth and there is tons of storage in the back of the seat if you ever want to take it to the supermarket. It folds down nice and compact and is very portable. The only downside I see to the bike is that there is only one lap strap which leaves a lot of room for movement if there is only 1 child in the trailer - this is the only reason why I gave it 4 stars. For long rides, this could be an issue for some folks. But I only ride it around my neighborhood and my son hardly moves around - he is enjoying the breeze and the scenery too much! So for the price, this was a great purchase in my book.Customer Review: Excellent product for the money

I live in san francisco and we bike everywhere so I'd been trying to find a new bike trailer for my 2.5 yo daughter who outgrew her front mounted baby seat. Everywhere I went the trailers were priced at $250 plus. I was a bit skeptical about buying this Instep because it was a "no name" brand (wrong - it turns out that its made by Schwinn) although it was priced at about half the price on others. When I research the product I found it to be lighter than the pricier brands. It runs smooth, easy to attach/detach. I keep the stroller front wheels always mounted so that I my daughter falls asleep and i wnt to walk around she's can continue sleeping. I recently did grocery shopping with the trailer and my daughter. It has a rear compartment that fit 3 traderjoes paper shopping bags, an additional bag in the front with my daughter, and one more on the rear basket that is mounted on my bike. I've also taken my daughter an another of her friends (it sits two kids) and they loved it. Overall, a very good product - although not a sleek and cute as others like the burley - but its lighter, and priced much below comparable products.Customer Review: Great for the money

I did a lot of research and decided to purchase this trailer after reading good reviews. We do light bike riding as a family and we wanted a way to be able to do this with our 20 month old daughter. We did not want to spend a ton of money for a high end trailer that we would barely use. I picked this trailer as it has a lighter frame then the lower model. I have been pleased with the trailer. It has quite a bit of storage and is very easy for me to pull behind my bike. My daughter likes seems to like it too. My only complaints are that the seat sags a bit as there is no reinforcement. Not really a problem just maybe not super comfy. Also, the clips are quite a pain. Instead of buckles the harness uses clips which are quite difficult to undo at times. I do recommend the trailer for someone who does light recreational bike riding and wants to bring kiddo along. Now, if I could only get her to be ok with the helmet!
Customer Review: Great trailer for the money, lots of storage space.

We've used this trailer quite a bit over the summer. My son loves it and seem comfortable in it. He is 25lbs and 18 months old and has a ton of room in the seating area for toys and books. There are also two elastic pockets on the inside for his sippy cups and some snacks.
The storage in the back area is awesome. Probably enough space back there to hold three grocery bags. Which on occasion we have had back there.
Hooking it to the bike was super easy, as was assembly. We've never used it as a walking stroller.
My only complaints are:
- The pole for the flag broke off the first time we had it out. Now we don't have the flag on there.
- The velcro closure that holds down the netting in the front is a tight fit.
Other than the above this was a great purchase. We've been very happy with it.
